Rarity - a recursive image optimiser

If you understand why you need this there's something wrong with you or you have very strange needs.

This is a tool built for a friend to recursively optimise a directory of images, keeping track of progress to support partial runs and update runs, using optipng, jpegoptim and gifsicle.

Dependencies

Rarity makes use of:

  • optipng
  • jpegoptim
  • gifsicle

You will need to install these prior to running rarity.

Additionally, the sqlite3 gem is used for the tracking database. This has the following package dependencies on Ubuntu:

  • libsqlite3-dev

Gem dependencies are installed automatically when installing rarity.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'rarity'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install rarity

Usage

Basic usage:

rarity optim -d some/path

Spike will then optimise everything under that directory.

You can find more help with:

rarity -h
rarity optim -h
rarity tracker -h
