Subject: [9fans] manumatic picture copy
Date: Thu,  9 Sep 2010 13:27:28 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <f21d01f62a06d6523b0c704bb5a3c1bc@brasstown.quanstro.net> (raw)

i put a couple of scripts on sources that you may
be able to bend to your own will
	/n/sources/contrib/quanstro/^(camera: cameracp mkthumb)

these scripts automate three things, and facilliate
a manumatic process for resetting cranky usb devices.

0.  camera: starts a fat fs on the camera's storage.  it's assumed to
be a cannon.
1.  unique new pictures are copied to /n/other/pictures/yyyymmdd
2.  if a usb error occurs that needs the device replugged,
cameracp waits for the user to do that
3.  mkthumb makes reasonable-sized plan 9 image thumbnails
(15%) from the images.  full size images tend to crash plan 9
terminals.  i should probablly use richard's resize, but since i keep
these things around, i might as well burn cpu.  my i7 does about
200 thumbs/minute and appears to be slightly limited by the fs,
peaking out at ~30000 packets/sec.

absolutely positively no man page.  sorry.
