aino-convert is a basically wrapper for `ImageMagick convert`_ with caching. The main purpose is to help generate quality thumbnails simply and efficiently. During the development of sorl-thumbnail I learned some and eventually I took the plunge to write something using ImageMagick convert instead of PIL.
- Simple thumbnail tag generating high quality output
- Remote files handling on the fly
- Usage of convert commandline syntax for infinate flexibility
- Caching mechanism
- Cleanup of unused images or conversions of images can be made
- Storage is local file storage only
- Requirements: convert, pyexiv2 is nice to have
- Storage is local file storage only
- Security (protecting the developer from himself)
There is a demo in the demo directory. To run the demo it just cd in to it and type: ./run
