[SOLVED] Help resizing photos in a folder

[seventhc]

Hi everyone,
I sort of remember reading about this on this forum, but searching for it hasn't produced the results I was looking for.
Here is the task,
I currently have a folder that is 697 MB containing 387 photos. I took all of these pics on a 12 mega pixel setting and would like to resize them to meet web standards. I remember seeing a command that would do this for me as opposed to resizing every photo individually. I am not sure if I am remembering correctly, but if anyone knows of this command, please let me know. I guess I would like them to be 72 dpi.
As for the size they are now, they range from 1.2 MB, to 4.4 MB and I would like to get them to a size more suitable for emailing friends. I know I can do it in Gimp, but I would really like to do them all at once.
Any suggesstions, commands?
Thank you in advance.

How about installing nautilus image converter? You can use it to batch resize your images.

sudo aptitude install nautilus-image-converter

then:

killall nautilus

To restart nautilus without having to logout and log back in again. It might be better to do the latter though.
