mobian, pinephone camera, and megapixels

[Maus]

In an attempt to learn / debug the behavior of the script and its interaction with Megapixels output, I renamed some .dng files in my Pictures folder to 1.dng, 2.dng, 3.dng, etc. Then I issued the command.

"/usr/share/megapixels/postprocess.sh /home/mobian/Pictures test"

and the result was it deleted my entire Pictures subdirectory with all my (wanted) pictures in it!

I'm sorry to read you lost your images, but you are absolutely right, reading only the introductory comment lines, especially the last two of them, would have helped:

# The post-processing script is responsible for cleaning up
# temporary directory for the burst.

I can confirm that the software combination (Megapixels with the current postprocessing script) just produces .dng files. Curiously, if I manually prepare files and start the script, it does produce .jpg files:

Maus@pine:~$ bash -x /usr/share/megapixels/postprocess.sh /tmp/test test
+ '[' 2 -ne 2 ']'
+ BURST_DIR=/tmp/test
+ TARGET_NAME=test
+ MAIN_PICTURE=/tmp/test/1
+ cp /tmp/test/1.dng test.dng
+ DCRAW=
+ TIFF_EXT=dng.tiff
+ command -v dcraw_emu
+ '[' -x /usr/lib/libraw/dcraw_emu ']'
+ DCRAW=/usr/lib/libraw/dcraw_emu
+ set -- -fbdd 1
+ CONVERT=
+ command -v convert
+ CONVERT=convert
+ set -- -fbdd 1
+ '[' -n /usr/lib/libraw/dcraw_emu ']'
+ /usr/lib/libraw/dcraw_emu +M -H 4 -o 1 -q 3 -T -fbdd 1 /tmp/test/1.dng
+ '[' -n convert ']'
+ '[' convert == convert ']'
+ convert /tmp/test/1.dng.tiff -sharpen 0x1.0 test.jpg
+ command -v exiftool
+ exiftool -tagsFromfile /tmp/test/1.dng.tiff -software=Megapixels -overwrite_original test.jpg
    1 image files updated
+ echo test.jpg
test.jpg
+ rm -rf /tmp/test

Works as designed, I'd say, so I have to inspect Megapixels why it does not call the postprocessing that way (or why it fails to do so).
