#4 DoubleQuotes around input argument not possible when using joker

Chris Scheuble — Thu, 22 Feb 2018 08:49:18 -0000

Good suggestion.

Looks like Apache has a helper class for this: org.apache.commons.io.filefilter.WildcardFileFilter.
Found this in StackOverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/794381/how-to-find-files-that-match-a-wildcard-string-in-java

TODO:
check for wild card characters ? or * in the input file name. If one exists then treat the file name as a file name filter:
split the the folder (default to the current folder if a folder isn't specified in the file name) from the file name
search for all matching files in the folder using the WildcardFileFilter
add matching file names to the file name parameter list

Note - Java 7 added glob file name matching but this works like Ant's file matching and I think that is not what most people would be using. It will also force this project to Java 7.

Added code on main to System.exit(1) if any errors occur from bad parameters or exceptions during conversion.

DoubleQuotes around input argument not possible when using joker

It's convenient not to have to enumerate every single input file, but to use the joker sign instead (e.g. somefolder/tif.*) Unfortunately, you then cannot use double quotes around this argument, which is neccessary when having spaces in your inputfolder.

Unfortunately, the exit code is zero, no matter if converision was successful or not. At StdOut, an ErrorText is provided when conversion failed, but and error code (s) would be nice.

ExitCode always Zero

Include a prototype BAT file in the README.txt file

Cash Fields — Tue, 22 Aug 2017 12:58:29 -0000

In the readme.txt file it would be nice to add an example on how batch process a sub-dir. It took me a while to resharpen my dos bat skills.

Paste the following data into readme.txt file - to help the novice and and amyone else. DOS is old ; and a lost art.

======================================

This was my bat file:
go.bat

:: copy this BAT file into the sub-dir with the files to convert and the program 'img2pdf.exe'
:: clear the screen
cls
:: turn the echo off
echo off
:: next four lines of code
:: 'for' each file - the %%f will get the filenames that are .png
:: the do ( is the body of the loop
:: echo %%~nf will echo the filename no extension to the screen
:: turn the echo off again
:: execute the program img2pdf ; in landscape ; input the filename (%%f) ;
:: output the same name but with a pdf extension (.pdf)
for %%f in (.png) do (
echo %%~nf
echo off
img2pdf -landscape "%%f" "%%~nf.pdf"
)

Thanks

using im2pdf to convert an image, produce a pdf where image is not perfectly centered and with extra blank space at one edge (left or right, depending from rotation)

I attach sample files

sam2p.pdf (image converted with sam2p)
img2pdf.pdf (same image converted via img2pdf, you can see extra blank space at right edge)
0-001.jpg (original image used for conversion test)
