Software to create Thumbnails

English Open Chat
1

I’m looking for an application that can create thumbnails easily.
Ideally with the ability to define a setting for thumbs, then with a function such as right click > create thumb
I’m using kde but have other machines running gnome and would be prepared to transfer files for the process.

Thanks

Install nautilus actions which would allow you to run arbitrary commands
Then using imagemagick

mogrify -resize 50% rose.jpg

or

$ mogrify -resize 256x256 *.jpg

you can even set things up so that thumbnail menu appears only for png etc
This is how i use nautilus actions"Image Conversion using right Click Menu"

Doesn’t that overwrite the existing files?

Thanks
Nice blog

Digikam has a batch process, which works nicely. I may come slightly unstuck if I have differing image sizes but want thumbs say: 200x150

yes we have to append a new name. but in my example i have change picture formats,hence it was fine

also use something like this

  mogrify -path thumbnail-directory -thumbnail 100x100 *

Basic Usage – IM v6 Examples

From what little i know we can give any setting(size) but we should retain source image resolution like (4:3 or 16:9) otherwise the thumbnail may not look like the original image

We also need to write to a different folder lest our original gets modified

You also have a package called “The Nautilus-Image-Converter extension allows you to resize/rotate images from Nautilus.”

example usage with original and resized images side by side

you don’t need nautilus actions for doing this

My humble attempt to spread word about openSUSE. You can webpages talking about other distros but personally i have seen very little about openSUSE other than lizards,new.opensuse and other official channels
