I'm trying to list the paths of all pictures with a width of 650, the intended result would be:
C:\test\650-width-picture1.png
C:\test\650-width-picture2.jpg
C:\test\subfolder\650-width-picture3.jpg
Among other things, I tried solutions from this old topic: Smart image search via Powershell
Get-Image.ps1
described in the top solution, I tried the following command:PS C:\test> Get-ChildItem -Filter *.png -Recurse | .\Get-Image | ? { $_.Width -eq 650 } | ft fullname
But for each file, it returns the following error:
Exception calling « FromFile » with « 1 » argument(s) : « 650-width-picture1.png »
At C:\test\Get-Image.ps1:3 : 27
+ $input | ForEach-Object { [Drawing.Image]::FromFile($_) }
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : FileNotFoundException
PS C:\test> Add-Type -Assembly System.Drawing
PS C:\test> Get-ChildItem -Filter *.png -Recurse | ForEach-Object { [System.Drawing.Image]::FromFile($_.FullName) } | Where-Object { $_.Width -eq 650 }
returns only the image info, and I cannot get the path. Thus adding "| ft fullname" at the end returns nothing.
As someone new to Powershell, I struggle to get any further. Could someone please help me?
Try with this, adding comments to help you understand the logic:
# load the drawing namespace
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Drawing
Get-ChildItem -Filter *.png -Recurse | ForEach-Object {
# for each `.png` file
try {
# instantiate the image for this file
$img = [System.Drawing.Image]::FromFile($_.FullName)
# if the image's `.Width` is equal to 650
if ($img.Width -eq 650) {
# output the `FileInfo` instance (from `Get-ChildItem` output)
$_
}
}
finally {
# lastly, if the image could be instantiated
if ($img) {
# dispose it
$img.Dispose()
}
}
# select the `.FullName` property from the `FileInfo` instance
} | Select-Object FullName
