Hi All,
I want to re-implement a widget I wrote in VB so I can run it under Linux - it's time for my Photoshop to Gimp leap, the one windows app I would _really_ miss right now.
Basically it runs through jpegs, resizes them for the web, renames them, and extracts some information from the EXIF to store in a csv file. I was thinking that PERL is probably the language I should be looking at, and learning it has been on my to-do list for a while, but decided that if I was going to spend time learning a new language I should ask what people here like and what works for you in a Linux environment.
I think it comes down to PERL, python or, maybe, Jade.. but my options seem much wider here than under windows and I am open to anything. It would be great if whatever the effort goes into to allows a variety other types of task to be done too. I don't need to be able to build anything big or especially fast.
I am happy in OOP, php, vb and javascript and have been known to produce the odd bit of C , C++ and ASP,
Merry Xmas! & mtia,
Andy
