I have a Windows folder full of pictures. I want to copy them all into a MS Office document, but with the picture filename written above each picture. Is there an easyish way to do this?
Thanks!
The .docx format is simply a main XML wrapped up in a ZIP format with any ancillary required files such as images. It would be pretty simple to do what you need.
I would start by producing an example document, renaming it to .zip, and examining the files within.

I am trying to create a script to watermark a group a PDF files in a folder, each PDF has to have a unique watermark.
All the PDFs are in one folder, all the watermarks are in .png located in another folder.
I currently have watermark script which I found on Apple Forums, but this was made to watermark all files with one watermark only.
What I need is a way to watermark each PDF file with it's own different watermark (there are 400 pdfs and 400 different watermarks)
Please help if you can, Thank You.

I have done a folder action workflow with Automator including some AppleScript an JavaScript. Maybe you can just adjust it to your needs.
It sets a dropped in Watermark file (PDF in my case) size A4 on the right half of the 1st page of another PDF size A3. BTW it extracts the individual name of the document from the PDF (job description number) and renames the final file.
I have a list of hundreds of hyperlinks that are to image files from my supplier. The problem is they have a .nl file extension. Here's an example:
http://www.netsuite.com/core/media/media.nl?id=66821&c=ACCT120207&h=bad4512e36320e5b2239
I need to use some sort of batch process to find all those image files and convert them to a .png or .jpg link (or batch download all the images then rename them)
Do you have any suggestions?
As you don't show an excerpt from your list of URLs, nor state your Operating System, it is rather hard to help you process the entire list.
However, for the one URL you show, you can retrieve the image and store it locally as "image.jpg" like this:
curl -L "https://system.netsuite.com/core/media/media.nl?id=101065&c=ACCT120207&h=ff667401c82a7dc4c2e1" > image.jpg
Currently, I'm trying to move a docx to a mediawiki file and preserve the proper filenames in the [[Image:]] tags. For some reason, the proper image file gets swallowed (ie, normally it'd be media/image4.jpg, but instead it's just empty).
I've tried extracting the docx and looking at docx/word/_rels/document.xml.rels but I have no idea how to figure out what images are duplicated. I made a simple script to do some find/replace, but in one file I have 130 [[Image:]] tags and only 105 images.
As such, I would like to have the MediaWiki filter output the proper image name when doing this:
soffice --headless --convert-to txt:MediaWiki myfile.docx
I'm on ubuntu 14.10.
Is this possible?
This doesn't appear to be possible, but I have written a workaround found here that solves it. The long and short of it is that I convert the file and manage uploading / linking of images manually.
I heard there is some way, to add additional hidden text inside code of the image file (like jpg/png/gif).
If we open this image in windows, will be shown a picture, but if we open it by some text-editor (like notepad++), we will see our hidden text.
How is this method called? What can you say about it?
Thanks.
Look up steganography. There are lots of tools to add any kind of hidden data you want in there. Usually though, it's not readable by notepad though. you need a companion tool to the one you used to add the data in in the first place. Using this you can even hide a binary file inside.
OR... you could look into using the metadata -- EXIF -- of the JPEG. Lots of tools exist to edit that data too. It ends up stored in the header of the file, so it should be right near the beginning, in other words the file would look something like:
JFIF ..... (GARBAGE) ..... Your Metadata ...... (GARBAGE)
Or finally, I hear that you can just concatenate a RAR onto the end of a JPEG and it will work as a (strangely huge) JPEG but WinRAR will notice the RAR contents when you open it in WinRAR.
This is called steganography.
I think its primary industrial use is watermarking content.
Information Hiding: Steganography & Digital Watermarking is a good resource on the topic.
Use "copy" - copy two files in one.
copy /B img.jpg + some.txt
Thus both file will be merged into the img.jpg file. The text from some.txt is append to the end of the img.jpg file.
I have a requirement where in I have to determine whether a photo is corrupted and accordingly tag it as such.
Another thing, I need is to determine if an Image has got wrong extension. What I mean by wrong extension is that sometimes I have come across a photo that has extension of jpg but when I load this photo into IrfanView it reports that the photo is in different format that the extension.
How can I do this in Delphi.

You can try some things, but with certain file formats (example: BMP, JPEG to some extent) only a human can ultimately decide if the file is OK or corrupted. The simplest test is to simply load the file into a corresponding object (TJpegImage, TPngObject, etc). If you get an exception while loading you've surely got a corrupted file. Unfortunately if no exception is raised you can't really say the file is not corrupted. I've seen corrupted JPEG files that load just fine into a Delphi TImage and can be opened with Windows's Image Viewer, but are obviously corrupted to a human observer. With BMP images it's even clearer: open up a bitmap, overwrite some bytes in the middle of the file and then open it in a viewer. How can any automated system tell those wrongly colored bits in the middle of the bitmap are actually wrong?

How about doing some of the same, trying to load the file into the object that corresponds to it's extension, and if you fail, try opening up with some other formats? This should be easy.
Alternatively you can investigate image headers: Most file formats start with a short signature, a few bytes. You can look up the documentation of all image file formats and find the signature, or you can simply open up an large number of files and look for a pattern in the first 4 bytes. I'd go for this second alternative since finding proper documentation for all image file formats might be a challenge.
The only way to check if file is corrupted is to try reading it as it is described in file format, ie. load BMP as BMP with reading BMP header, BMP data etc. There are many web pages that describe graphics file formats. Of course if you transmit files and are afraid that it will be corrupted after transmitting then save such files with some sum like CRC32, or even cryptographic MD5 or SHA1. Then after transmitting check if calculated sum is the same as original.
In Delphi there is unit jpeg and types TJPEGImage and TBitmap. Try loading it with data and check exception. For others formats there are many libraries, just look for required file formats.
To check if file extension is good try reading some first bytes of file and check it with some dictionary of graphics file headers. For example GIF files should start with GIF, BMP files starts with BM, and in JPEG header you will find JFIF. I think unix utility file works this way.
Since you used the term "requirement", I suspect that you're doing a job for someone, possibly as a contract. So make sure that you nail the requirements before worrying about the code.
IMO, you need to get samples of test cases. As others mentioned, failure to load the file as a particular format will be one test. But what about a .jpg that loads ok, but the bottom third is missing? Or a .jpg that loads ok but has green "static" lines in the middle where an error occurred upstream somewhere (on the camera, photoshop, whatever) but then the processing recovered and resumed? In this case, the .jpg may really have green lines in it. Is that considered "corrupt" or not? This is where you need to be careful, especially if it's a contract job.
I have handled this situation by reading the suspicious image and trying to getting its shape. The task is done within try-except block. Following is the code:
import cv2
image = cv2.imread('./image.jpg')
try:
dummy = image.shape # this line will throw the exception
except:
print("[INFO] Image is not available or corrupted.")
This approach should cover all your needs like:
Detecting a corrupted image
Non-image file with an image-type extension detection
Missing image detection etc.
