Getting terminal color scheme from an image. - Giacobbe - 28-05-2015

Alright, so I've been trying to use the follow script https://github.com/everett1992/wp to generate a color scheme from my current background, but I'm having some trouble.

If I CD in the scripts directory, and run
Code:
./wp add /home/jake/Pictures/wallpapers/UfCjC8q.jpg

The following comes up
Code:
:: Generating ./home/jake/Pictures/wallpapers/UfCjC8q.jpg.colors and ./home/jake/Pictures/wallpapers/UfCjC8q.jpg.Xres in /home/jake/Pictures/wallpapers /home/jake/Pictures/wallpapers/UfCjC8q.jpg :: is not a recognised directive

Then nothing else happens, anyone have any ideas?

Does the picture exist?

Try to change line 19: "while test $# -gt 0; do" to "while test $# -gt 1; do" and you should not get that error anymore. The script should work as expected i guess, so regardless of the error message it should generate a colorscheme for you.

+1 for gpick, very useful when using other tools alongside it.
