So ... having a bunch of images that I want to montage. I want to split it into 100 pics a pop.
Something like montage -tile 5x -geometry +0 FR "$(printf 'out%03d.jpg' $((++counter)))"
So say I have 623 pictures, It should be 7 montages (1-100, 101-200 ...)
Anyone know if ImageMagick has some built in for this kind of task?
Have tested around with find | sort | xargs -n100 ..., but at an obstacle with the output file-name as I can not find a good way to append output file-name to each iter.
^-- FR aka FIle Range

If IM simply had a --out-file option it would be so much simpler.

@ibuprofen please post a question on the main site. Make sure to include examples of both your input file names and your expected output file names.

A: Giving files in batches to a script

KusalanandaI will be assuming that you want to execute the script multiple times and that you want to provide your files in batches as command-line arguments to the script, one batch at a time each time you run the script. (Another interpretation of your requirements would be that the script reads the files...

May be helpful

@JeffSchaller Thanks. That's better then my current solution. Thought there had to be a Q/A on it – the search force is stringer with you.

how do you people choose external hard drive for backup purpose? How do reliability and price depend on capacity? For both portable and deskctop sizes. Thanks in advance.

@Tim For the most part I don't believe in reliability. If you buy the cheapest equipment you will usually get junk but even the most reputable brands produce junk too. Every product is engineered to be as cheap as it can within the parameters they specify. And if a company builds a reputation for reliability they will use that reputation to sell junk at a premium for larger profits
