Below is the script. Its a linux shell script (sorry to those folks who use a windows m/c. I hope to come up with something for you guys soon) Copy and paste it into a text editor and save it with a .sh extension.
# facebook sliced image album creator
# (c) najeem muhammed ; www.idling-mind.blogspot.com
clear
echo "Enter the name of the image file you wish to slice"
read mf
rm facebook_slicer
convert -resize 704 "$mf" "$mf"_resized.jpg
mkdir facebook_slicer
mv "$mf"_resized.jpg facebook_slicer
cd facebook_slicer
myvar=`identify "$mf"_resized.jpg | awk '{print $3}' | sed 's/.*x//g'`
htcount=$((myvar/138))
for h in `seq $htcount`
do
croptop=$(((h-1)*138))
for w in `seq 4`
do
cropwd=$(((w-1)*181))
convert "$mf"_resized.jpg -crop 161x120+$cropwd+$croptop "$(((h-1)*4+w))".jpg
done
done
rm "$mf"_resized.jpg
echo "Slicing Done! Check the folder facebook_slicer. Upload the image in the order of the filenames."
exit 0
Copy your image into the same folder as the script. Open a terminal window in the above folder and enter the following command.
sh your_script_filename.sh
You'll be prompted to enter the filename that you want to slice. Give the image name (with extension) that you want to use for your album. If the script worked fine, you'll get a message telling
Slicing Done! Check the folder facebook_slicer. Upload the image in the order of the filenames.
Do let me know if it worked for you. Post a comment with a link to your album! :)
Enjoy!!
PS: If its not working, check whether you have imagemagik installed in your linux system.
