Compress without overwriting

[colthreepv]

I am using the CLI version of image_optim (and actually I am also using the dockerized version #114)

It's possible to compress files without overwriting them? If so I cannot find the config option

Do you mean putting them to a different folder or to the same folder with some suffix?
Then no, there is no such option using CLI.
Simplest way to do it is to copy images to desired path or to to copy with prefix and run image_optim on those. Also should be easy to implement this in ruby.
Do you think there are a lot of use cases for such functionality?

most use cases can be covered with a simple bash script or any other kind of language.
I just asked openly because some command line tools have this kind of prefixing options, so I would think it can be a nice-to-have!

Thanks for the ping back
