| Feb 6, 2014 at 22:04 | comment | added | Arnaud Meuret | @ArlaudPierre 1) convert relies on the extension to choose the output format 2) Mime Type resolvers rely mostly on file extensions; in rare cases magic cookies | |

| Feb 4, 2014 at 12:52 | comment | added | Pierre Arlaud | Why do you even care for the extension of the file? Just call it a and the mime type will do the rest. | |
| Feb 4, 2014 at 9:43 | comment | added | Arnaud Meuret | Frankly I don't think bash qualifies as a programming language here or that convert qualifies as an API. But in this case I'd throw GNU hello in and bring this contraption down to 29 with: convert label:"`hello`" h.png | |

| Feb 3, 2014 at 13:07 | comment | added | alexyorke | Save one character if you change ".png" to ".ps" to save to postscript | |
| Feb 2, 2014 at 9:44 | comment | added | Mechanical snail | @Vortico: I think convert looks at the extension to figure out what format to save in. Otherwise you would have to specify PNG explicitly, which is longer than the extension. | |
| Feb 2, 2014 at 8:23 | comment | added | Vortico | Would it be valid to save the image with the filename 'a'? | |

| Feb 1, 2014 at 22:17 | comment | added | sch | Also, if you make it sh, you don't have to worry about ! and you make it even less esoteric. | |
| Feb 1, 2014 at 22:14 | comment | added | sch | @DigitalTrauma, it doesn't necessarily means escaping when in double quotes. It's just that here it was !" (which is looking for an event starting with " in the history). | |
| Feb 1, 2014 at 22:12 | comment | added | Digital Trauma | @sch - True - I was thinking the ! needed escaping when unquoted, but it only needs escaping when in double quotes. | |
| Feb 1, 2014 at 22:10 | comment | added | sch | convert label:Hello\ world! a.png is even shorter. | |
| Feb 1, 2014 at 22:05 | comment | added | Digital Trauma | You can shave off one char by using single-quotes: convert 'label:Hello world!' a.png | |
| Feb 1, 2014 at 20:57 | comment | added | Tomas | Great!! :-) I wanted to write something like that. Unbeatable! All the esoteric languages will finally get their ass kicked today! :-) | |
