The OUTPUTFILE needs to be enquoted for the shell commands to work with paths that have spaces #3
Description
The script would bomb when I ran it because my paths have a space in it:
convert: unable to open image `../Images': No such file or directory @ error/blob.c/OpenBlob/2709.
convert: no decode delegate for this image format `' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/501.
convert: unable to open image `II/Aztec.dsk.png': No such file or directory @ error/blob.c/OpenBlob/2709.
convert: WriteBlob Failed `II/Aztec.dsk.png' @ error/png.c/MagickPNGErrorHandler/1645.
By enquoting OUTPUTFILE it is more robust:
os.system('convert DiskImageTEMP.png -matte -virtual-pixel transparent -resize 1024x1024! -rotate 90 -distort Polar \'512 110 512,512 -180,180\' "' + OUTPUTFILE + '"')
Note the two extra " 's
This had to be done for the next line as well:
os.system('xdg-open "' + OUTPUTFILE + '"')
I had to change open to xdg-open because "open" would generate this message on my Kubuntu Linux machine:
Couldn't get a file descriptor referring to the console
"open" is not a shell command under Linux, where xdg-open is the Cross Desktop Group's standard way to open any file with its assigned type handler.
But otherwise, this cool script is now working :)
