[Solved] Thunar Custom Action - Cwebp

birch · 2014-09-16 02:17:13

I need a Custom Action which will allow me to convert images to the webp format using cwebp.

This is the command I use to convert images to webp using the command line:

for F in /home/$USER/Pictures/grain/*.jpg ; do cwebp $F -o /home/$USER/Pictures/grain/`basename ${F%.jpg}
`aa%04d.webp ; done

Try (with test images):

for file in %F; do cwebp "$file" -o "${file%%.*}".webp; done

Thanks, that works great! Could you add a command to the command that would place the converted files in a subfolder of the working directory?

This looks like it works:

mkdir %d/webp && cd %d; for file in %N; do cwebp "$file" -o "webp/${file%%.*}".webp; done

...this should create a webp folder as a subfolder and contain the converted files.
