Thanks a lot for sharing your script. I am sure Mac and Linux users will find it very handy.

I wrote a little script to automate the process on my Mac that I’d like to share – please note that you’ll have to change the directory variable(s) to fit your environment. Should work directly in Linux Bash as well.

# script to automate pcdtojpeg binary to convert all PCD files in a directory
# variables in:
# $1 = directory of Photo CD contents, assuming it lies in $PHOTOCD_DIR for all PHOTO CD Directories
# it redirects all output to a file named after the photo CD dot txt
#!/bin/bash
PHOTOCD_DIR=/Volumes/iMac_Data/Bilder/PhotoCD
APP_DIR=/Applications/Tools

FILES=$PHOTOCD_DIR/$1/*.PCD

for f in $FILES

do
$APP_DIR/pcdtojpeg -v -r 5 $f &> $PHOTOCD_DIR/$1.txt
#cat $f
done
