Subject: [9fans] Proposed: Image Conversion Server
Date: Thu, 26 Oct 2006 07:08:19 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <85e334c50610260608o5a66785eq53950ceca68d6bf9@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I want to make a new server that converts JPEG files to Plan9 image
files. Then you can just connect the server to a directory and you get
image files out...

convert-jpegs -s /srv/xjpeg -src /usr/glenda/jpegs
mount -c /srv/xjpeg /n/images
ls /usr/glenda/jpegs
pawn.jpg
bishop.jpg
knight.jpg
rook.jpg

ls /n/images
pawn.jpg.image
bishop.jpg.image
knight.jpg.image
rook.jpg.image

If you want on-the-fly conversion you can use these images direct from
/n/images. If you want to batch convert them just

dst=/usr/glenda/images {
	mkdir $dst
	cp /n/images $dst
}

Is server-load .. mount the best way to do this? This would be a first
step towards an image processing system that could apply a chain of
filters to the source images.

Thanks,
rsbohn
