Since the morning today I am working on getting all the images I have online. I want to do it before I start reposting my blog entries that are on my laptop. It is really not so easy as it seems. The images I get from my camera are all way too big for web so I have to downsize them. Sadly iPhoto does not have (or I am blind) an easy batch option for resizing images. I got a program called Downsize for that. I really ask myself why all that useful little stuff has to cost money. 20$ here 20$ there … every little tool costs money. I am a poor student I do not have the money to pay every little tool I get and that nags suck badly and test time outs even more. I would prefer if the programs were free and there were donation buttons on their pages. I am really sure that the time I start working and have some pennies left I will donate money to every vendor of a useful program I use that is free and has a donation button. You may hit me on that later ;)
Ok I finish uploading the images and then I start to add all the blog posts that accumulated here on my disk ;)

ImageMagick is your friend:
#!/bin/sh
for f in `ls *.png *.jpg *.gif`; do
convert -resize 800x600 $f $f
done

Btw, why is there no preview function for comments?

Thanks for the script. The problem that still remains is that it is not aware of images that are horizontal or vertical…
I will take a look why there is no preview possibility. It is missing in my theme or in Wordpress … I really do not know. I added it to my iCal todo list.
