Idea #685: Bulk Image resize/rotate in nautilus

Written by carlinuxlearner the 29 Feb 08 at 03:36. Related project: Nautilus. Status: New
Rationale
By default, there is no easy way to resize multiple images.

Example:
Bob has a folder of images he wants to resize, currently in order to do this he would have to open up and resize each individual image, aka, a PAIN.

Written by carlinuxlearner the 29 Feb 08 at 03:36.
Have the "nautilus-image-converter" (a bulk image resize/rotate add-on to nautilus) installed by default default in Ubuntu.

$ for i in files_to_resize/*.png; do convert -resize 50x50 $i resized/`basename $i`; done

Thank you for that! I'll be using it. But I think a program with a GUI would be better for noobs. Also if you could specifically have it put the resized pics in a different folder, so you can save your high-res ones, that would be great.

I have to admit that I often struggle with resizing, something simple would be nice.

Try nautilus-image-converter. It adds right-click options to images in Nautilus. You can select all the images in a directory and then right-click to rotate or resize.

I actually use gThumb for this but it would be nicer if it was just: Select -> Right Click -> Resize

Using Konqueror, nautilus or whatever.

IMHO average users don't know about nautilus-image-convertor which would make these kind of things a lot easier for them.

I think including nautilus-image-converter by default would make this a super easy idea to implement. Why would this not be installed by default?

Well with imageshack, I can use the feature:
mogrify 75% *

or can specify custom size:
mogrify -size 480x320 *

I'll take a look at nautilus-image-converter. Sounds interesting.

Also, I have reported my idea as duplicate so that the votes can be transferred to the original idea. Thanks everyone!
