It should also be noted that this command does the opposite of what is mentioned in the article. I am converting JPGs to PNGs.

In reply to U R SHit. I made some modifications to the original command to support image files with spaces in them. All it does is use the "sed" command to replace all spaces with a backslash followed by a space. $ ls -1 *.jpg | sed 's/ /\\ /g' | xargs -n 1 bash -c 'convert "$0" "${0%.jpg}.png"'

Why use bash -c for the for loop, and not just invoke a loop directly

@Christopher

We will check out IrfanView. “Keeping a master png (or tiff) file from which you make lossy jpegs only as required for particular purposes”, is really worth mentioning, which we kind of forgot to point out in the article.

Many thanks for the remarks.
