I am looking for a GUI who could resize me a folder of images. I tried to write a script for this with imagemagic and the convert command but it is just somehow not working with big images and it is so un-convenient to always edit the script.
There are a lot of tools like this. And I just can not find one for linux. What do I miss while searching?
The only thing that comes to mind might to photo managment apps like Gallery2 - which use imagemagick on the backend and have some functionality to resize images, but I don’t think this is going to really do what you want with enough flexibility.
If you would like help with your script maybe that is the route to take, or make a simple php web page where you put in the args you want and pass those to image magick with a system exec() (or similar) call?

no script required (but, you could have SEVERAL, for different sizes,
etc and never have to edit them) say you want all the *.jpg photos in
the directory named ~/photos-to-process to be (say) half their
original size, then:
-cd to ~/photos-to-process
-type
mogrify -scale 50% *.jpg
-press enter
-smile
or, if you want them to all be (say) 1024x768, then as above except:
-type
mogrify -scale 1024x768 *.jpg
mogrify is part of imagemagic…easy…

might not be exactly what you have in mind but there is a konqueror servicemenu tool at Converter KDE-Apps.org … the author also has a script for kommander use on the site also.
This is a grate way if you have like 2 photos. But I have 300 and 3 MB each. With this method I cant follow the prozess.
The Gimp plug-in will be my like! Thanks Folks for the reply s!
What size are your photos? What errors make you think that imagemagick is failing to convert your photos? I have had no problems using convert from imagemagick on 7Mpx photos from an idiot digital camera. There are also the netpbm tools, of which I used the pamscale program to shrink a 24Mpx photo. It was a synthetic one, made from concatenating 8 photos in a matrix.

huh? it you put all 300 (or 3000) in one folder, then you can do them
ALL with just one command!!
all in ONE batch…
