ScaleDir is a handy Kommander Script that allows for quick batch resizing of all images within a specified folder. The tool uses ImageMagick to perform this task, making it both fast and simple.
It is important to note that inputs in ScaleDir are case-sensitive, so "JPG" and "jpg" are not considered the same. Additionally, when specifying the picture type, only enter the three letters of the type, without any "*" or "*." characters. To make organization easier, set a prefix for the output pictures, like "small_" or "x_", being careful not to use "/" or "!" characters.
Lastly, it is important to understand that the horizontal size parameter determines the scaling factor of the pictures. For instance, if your source picture has a size of 1024x768 and you enter a value of "800" for the horizontal scale, your output pictures will have a size of 800x600 (with a 3:4 aspect ratio). A useful example of this is if you are using a suffix of "jpg", a prefix of "scaled_", and a scale of "800", your output would be as follows: "picture01.jpg" (1024x768) would become "scaled_picture01.jpg" (800x600).
Overall, ScaleDir is a powerful tool that can help you resize multiple pictures in a fast and efficient manner, with the added benefit of ImageMagick as a trusted image processing library.
