Imagemagick Thumbnail Script.

Updated here

This is a perl script that I whipped up to rapidly turn lots of images into thumbnails. It will drive imagemagick (default install in redhat, availiable for nt/win and other platforms) to produce thumbnails, medium sized images, and full resolution.

For this to work with NT, you will need to change path characters to “\\”. You also need to set the path to your imagemagick installation.

Command line examples:

thumb.pl /var/dropbox/photos /home/erics/photos
thumb.pl /var/dropbox/photos /home/erics/photos-r "-rotate 90"

That’s thumb.pl – source dir – dest dir – options

Watch line wrapping, some of the lines are really long.
