Hi!
I'm new to IM and have a simple (?) problem with
creating thumbs of landscape and portrait pics.
I have some pics in a folder, whose names are stored
in photos.txt.
I'd like to use IM to create thumbs to be put in a web
page. My perl script takes care of the HTML code. Such
a script has lines like:

...
<TD ALIGN = \"center\"><A HREF=\"$photo\">";
...
print FILE2 "<IMG SRC=\"$photo.small\"
ALT=\"$photo_small\" WIDTH=100
HEIGHT=75></A>
...

where $photo is the image read from photos.txt and
$photo_small is the its thumb. FILE2 is the
output.html file. The lines above are just an example,
in reality the code is slightly different.
My script works fine for landscape images, for which
WIDTH is greater than HEIGHT, but it stretches out
portrait thumbs.
Now the question: is it possible for IM to
discriminate between landscape and portrait images and
create thumbs with a flag in the output image (such as
name_small_flag.jpg) if a pic is a portrait image?
This way I can work with a IF statement in my perl
script and produce something like:

if (_no flag is found in the image name_) {
print FILE2 "<IMG SRC=\"$photo.small\"
ALT=\"$photo_small\" WIDTH=100
HEIGHT=75></A>
}

and

if (_flag is found in the image name_) {
print FILE2 "<IMG SRC=\"$photo.small\"
ALT=\"$photo_small\" WIDTH=75
HEIGHT=100></A>
}

It would be nice of course to process all the images
in a folder at the same time and produce thumbs with
the appropriate name+flag.

I think that Identify would do the job, but I am
having troubles with with both this operand and my
bash script.
Hope the problem is clear!!!

Any (alternative) suggestion is welcome!

thanks in advance,

mirko
