imagemagick resize help

[steharg]

i am trying to resize a load of images so they are no more than 150x150px

i am currently using

convert -resize 150x150\> *.jpg

but it is renaming all the files to that of the last image then adding a number after each one...
lastfilename.jpg.1
lastfilename.jpg.2
etc

how can i get it to keep its original file name? or even go back over to rename it without the numbers on the end?

Hi there,

The behaviour you describe is what you would expect, bearing in mind that "*.jpg" would be expanded by Bash into a list of matching filenames, the last of which convert will use as its output file. (See convert's man page.)

You could try using find, or a for loop, so each convert command would only have two filenames in it.
