Converting several image files at once

[scottro]

In another thread TangledWeb suggested we move this to programming. The original poster asked for a good method to change several wmf files to png or gif files.

tmfaler gave an interesting looking perl method and I asked why perl rather than shell. In this case, it's just because tmfaler tended to think of perl solutions.

So, this new thread isn't to argue the point (although let me correct my syntax from the other thread--I'd just use a simple for loop.)

It's merely put here in the hope that it helps others wondering how to change their MS based files to something usable in Fedora.

for i in *.wmf; do convert ${i} ${i%%.wmf}.png; done
