I returned from Bogotá and have a Folder with 272 photos that total 419.9 MB. I would like to email them to several people who were there for the concerts I attended. I have Picasa, gThumb (not really an Editor but I believe it can reduce the quality of photos) and The GIMP installed. Is there a way I can have a photo editor reduce all of them to VGA size, without doing that 272 times? The people who will receive them are using M$ Windoze. Also, they are in a folder and it doesn't seem possible to attach a folder in gmail. A good way to zip them up in one file that can be unzipped on Windoze boxes? TIA!
You can do this with ImageMagick's tools.
mkdir shrunk for in in *.jpg ; do convert $i -resize 640x480 shrunk/$i ; done change 640x480 to whatever size you want.
