I have a folder of lots of images i want to resize for the web. Is there a decent batch plug in for gimp 2.6.10. I am using ubuntu. I am newbie. I need easy to follow install instruction...lol

Maybe this could help you, but it does need making and installing which might be a bit hard for a "newbie"

Alternatively, use your synaptic to install imagickMagick (there is even a front end for I beleive)

You can do mass resizings with that from the command line (try googling it)

I am sure there are other approaches.

I can not find imagickMagick in synaptic or the software center..thanks

That's 'imagemagick', and I concur with the benefits of using it.

Should be imagemagick

And I can attest that using some simple scripting and appropriate commands this is a brilliant way of batch processing images. Learning curve is a bit steep, but if you read the imagemagick pages carefully you will find pretty much all you could need.

Apologies if this top posts the android client I use doesn't offer any control.

While I would probably go for imagemagick myself, there is a learning curve. You might find that it is already installed in your ubuntu, several applications use it. Basic stuff is here http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/ and http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/thumbnails/

A better bet might be David Batch Processor for Gimp. It is in the repository under gimp-plugin-registry. The home page for usage is http://members.ozemail.com.au/~hodsond/dbp.html

or as an alternative, Phatch, AFAIK this is in the ubuntu repo as well. Home page and a download for a deb package if you need it. http://photobatch.stani.be/

David Batch Processor for Gimp is there better instructions on how to install? Make Install does not mean anything to me..thanks

Just look at the site for usage. If you are using Ubuntu it is in the repository and is included in the package gimp-plugin-registry. Look in the menus for package manager - then for gimp-plugin-registry, just as for any other application. Or ask on the ubuntu forum for help if you do not know how to install packages.
