Thank you
This works so far
convert Background_final.png 2016081711230002dBuZ.ppi_top.png -set filename:f "%[t]" -gravity center -composite "%[filename:f]_2.png"
But how can i tell to read the second filename? now my output is:
Background_final_2.png but i want 2016081711230002dBuZ.ppi_top_2.png ...

Yes thats the whole filename and its always the same length.

The idea below is in Windows syntax but can be adapted to *nix shell syntax without much trouble. It should work with any IM 6.9.3 or newer. It absolutely requires a monospace font, and your filenames must always be the same length. When I run this from the Windows command line, a timestamp is ...

Thanks already for the answers.
I'm using Mac OS X 10.11.6 and Imagemagick 6.9.5-8

The file comes from a thirdparty software, so no access to it. Similar to the satellite pictures.
