I was wondering of there was a way to create a truncated output of converted files using mogrify?
ie:
/
image001--large.png
image002--large.png
image003--large.png
This code only reduces and overwrites the *--large.png files

How can I get a result that keeps the original files and outputs the converted files by removing the last --large.png and get this below?
image001.png
image002.png
image003.png

Their are ways to append some text to a filename (add "--large" for example),
See IM Examples, File Handling,Filename Percent Escapes
http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/files/#save_escapes
but their are no string manipulation tools to extract a sub-string or modify strings (properities actually) within IM at this point.

Your best bet is to use some scripting solution...

I have not even considered string manipulation for IMv7 properity handling, as I am having enough trouble figuring out how to add number formatting.
See notes on possible solutions in http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/bugs/I ... tml#format
A few of these may be expanded to sub-string and RE modification, but really it is outside IM scope.

I can't seem to find a way to do this in a DOS script. Does anyone know of a way?
