Description

This repository "Image-format-converter" contains some code to convert image formats using Python.

Note: There is some handling of .heif and .heic formats but not always working

Files

my_constants.py

Contains the constants & parameters that can be changed

myfuncs.py

Contains methods used

convert_image.py

Script to convert one file at a time

convert-all-files.py

Script to convert multiple files at a time

myimageconvert.py

Contains class and methods to handle image conversion

file_test.py

Check single image file of format HEIF and introspect it and print out its attributes

requirements.txt

This script requires the following libraries to be installed. It can be used as, [PATH WHERE INSTALLED]\python -m pip install -r .\requirements.txt

Create a virtual environment

On linux you will need to install python3.10-venv where 3.10 is the version of python that is active

sudo apt install python3.10-venv

Create venv running following command

python3 -m venv ./.venv

THis will create a folder structure like, => ls -alrt .venv/ total 24 lrwxrwxrwx 1 [user] [group] 3 Jan 13 23:15 lib64 -> lib drwxrwxr-x 3 [user] [group] 4096 Jan 13 23:15 lib drwxrwxr-x 2 [user] [group] 4096 Jan 13 23:15 include drwxrwxr-x 5 [user] [group] 4096 Jan 13 23:15 .. drwxrwxr-x 5 [user] [group] 4096 Jan 13 23:15 . -rw-rw-r-- 1 [user] [group] 71 Jan 13 23:15 pyvenv.cfg drwxrwxr-x 2 [user] [group] 4096 Jan 13 23:15 bin

Install python libraries based on requirements.txt

source .venv/bin/activate python3 pip install -r requirements.txt

Upgrade pip

python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip

Script execution mechanism

-- Common parameter "-overide_debug" available to override log level to DEBUG

Convert multiple files with following parameters

Additional optional arguments

"-follow_recursively" to force script to recursively search for files with "-src_ext" values

"-overide_write" to force overide & write out target file if it exists
