Does anyone know of a way to resize a batch of icons all at once? I've been looking at Imagemagick, but can't get the command-line to work properly. There seems to be some options or info missing from the Man-Page for it, and I can't find any other info on the correct procedure.
I have several folders of images which need to be resized into several different sizes, so being able to resize recursively through several folders and sub-folders would be handy as well.
TIA,

If there is some way you can simply identify the size 'sed' probably could do it.
Hoyt, I know the exact sizes and there are 4 of them. All these images each need to be resized to the four fixed sizes. Can you give me some info re - sed? I need to be able to input a command for multiple images at one time, and hopefully so have sed send the output to 4 different folders - 1 for each of the sizes.
TIA

I'm not sure how icons are sized. If there is a 'size:40' then you can convert that to any size you want by finding /size: 40/ and replacing that with /size: 50/ any time it occurs in as many files as exist say you have Chapter01 thru Chapter50, then every <regexp> can be changed to <newregexp> by 'sed'. Its been a number of years since I have used sed and I dont remember the syntax but it goes something like this:
cat /<dirpath>/* | sed /size: 40/r/size: 50/ tee /<newdirpath>
sed is a stream editor and cat is necessary to stream the data. Do not use the syntax I have shown more may be required or different may be required I just dont remember. See man sed or info sed.
Thanks Hoyt. Will give it a shot and send you any info I find or the command that works for your information.
