When I used the v7pre version it worked fine. The replacing images with a 0 length file in my case (CentOS 5) seems to be related to version 6b of the jpegtran software.

That sounds like what Erik saw. But it clearly works for me, so this is kind of disturbing. Please let me know if you find something -- I hope you were experimenting on copies as recommended!! Yikes.

I was looking for a way to rename my pictures, and the script was ok, but when I tried the rotate script, the file was destroyed, ending up in 0 bytes. If I can find out what did this I'll get back to you. Henning Larsen Hi!

It definitely worked this way for me, so that's strange if the documentation says otherwise. I just tried it again on the command line and verified it works with out=in. I skimmed through the man page and didn't see anything about a problem with overwriting the input file. (It very often is true of course that mixing the in and out params for a program like this will cause the kind of behavior you mention.) I'd like to investigate more, but don't know when I'll have time. Thanks for commenting -- that will at least serve as a caution if anyone else see this.

I must be insane... because nobody else seems to have the same problem, but for me your script doesn't work -- and actually should not work! Having the "outfile" as the same as input file with jpegtrans doesn't work. It just creats an empty file. And that behaviour is 100% documented with jpegtrans. How can it work for you? Fedora 8 with "default" jpegtrans and jhead. But anyways... with some rewriting I had a great use of your concept, so thanks! /Erik S Hi!
