Today in "#Linux things that should be easy, but surprisingly aren't":
Resizing images via GUI on Gnome in Debian 13.
(Hints welcome)
(Yes, I know you can do this on the command line. Try to be normal for once, ok?)

@slothrop And that is basically the back story to my blogpost :)
@neil oooooh nice - thank you!
It works really well.
(It does involve a command line to set up, but I'll allow it.)
@slothrop@chaos.social @neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk what about GIMP ? ^^' or, if we are speaking about cropping: the screen shot utility ? 🙃️
@gabriel @neil I'm looking for a simple way to downscale a batch of images, not a full editing suite. Ideally I want the job to be done before Gimp has even started up - and Neil's script delivers.
As to the screen shot utility: it does cropping, but no downscaling, and certainly not in batch mode. Wrong tool for the job.
As far as I can tell, Debian 13 removed the long-standing “nautilus-image-converter” package, and replaced it with… nothing?
