This might be more involved than it sounds, but it would be handy to create thumbnails for all stl files in a directory. As well as an option to traverse directories to find stl to process. I wrote a simple bash script to do this for me (it is very verbose, not error handling, etc):
traverse() {
for entry in "$1"/*
do
if [ -d "$entry" ]; then
echo "$entry is a directory, stepping in"
traverse "$entry"
else
extension="${entry##*.}"
filename="${entry%.*}"
echo "$entry is a file, file name is $filename and extension is $extension"
if [ "${extension,,}" = "stl" ]; then
echo "Making thumbnail"
stl-thumb "$entry" "$filename.png"
fi
fi
done
}
traverse "$1"
