Bulk Image Resizer for Ubuntu OS

Ubuntu/Nautilus Bulk Image Resize

AN UBUNTU GUIDE

Ubuntu/Nautilus Bulk Image Resize
On lots of occasions I find my self doing bulk image resizing normally because I like to take phones with high resolution for my image collection but if I want to use them on the web I need to reduce their size. Introducing the Nautilus Image Converter I will be explaining how to install and use this extension in Ubuntu.
What is Nautilus Image Converter?
It’s an extension to mass re-size or rotate images relying on ImageMagick’s convert tool.

In Ubuntu open up the software center and type nautilus-image-converter into the search window and you should see the package we want listed in the window. [See figure below]
Figure 1

Click install enter your password if prompted and let Ubuntu weave its magic. Now to use this fabulous extension you will have to restart Nautilus and to do this with out having to log out open up your terminal and type
nautilus -q
or
killall nautilus

If Nautilus doesn't automatically reopen try this from the Unity menu (press the Super key) or using the run command (Alt+F2) Type in "gksudo nautilus" and click on Run to execute the command.

Ok so now we should have the Nautilus Image Converter installed and ready to use so navigate to the directory containing the images you wish to re-size. Next select all the images you want to re-size and right click you should now see two new entries in the option list Re-size Images and Rotate Images. [See Figure Below]
Figure 2

Scroll down and select Re-size Images you will be confronted with a re-size image options window. [See Figure below]
Figure 3

You have two main option the first is Image Size here you can choose the following methods of resizing.
  • Select a size from the predefined option list I normally use this.
  • Scale the images by percentage the default value is by 50%.
  • Select a custom size (Make sure you scale proportionally).
The next section is related to the file name given to the re-sized images if you want to keep the originals select some text to be appended to the end of each image but if don't need the originals select Re-size in place. When you are happy with your settings hit Re-size and wait to be amazed.
You should now have a bunch of re-sized images ready to be used in what ever project you are working on. If you need to do a bulk re-name of images or files check out my guide in the doc's section.

Remote Support Software list


I'm starting a remote support software list, since many of us here do computer/IT tech stuff and need to connect to random various clients easily in order to see their desktop and fix issues.

Proper remote support software is different than remote access software like logmein, or VNC, or PcAnywhere, or Remote Desktop Protocol built into Windows. 

What defines a good remote support app
*As single click as possible for the remote end user needing support
*No firewall configuration, no port forwarding, no needing to know end users WAN IP address
*Share desktop with end user needing support, full KVM from your point of view






























Remote Assistance built into Microsoft Small Business Server...the admin logs into the console, and from MMC you can do a TSWeb like session with clients on the network. I use this a lot since many of my clients networks are based on SBS. While technically it does require a static IP and port forwarding, it's still a quick and easy way to get to end users desktop if they're behind their their SBS box.

Wine lets you run Windows software on other operating systems. With Wine, you can install and run these applications just like you would in Windows.
Wine enables Linux, Mac, FreeBSD, and Solaris users to run Windows applications without a copy of Microsoft Windows. Wine is free software under constant development. Other platforms may benefit as well.



Install Wine on Ubuntu/Linux Mint open Terminal (Press Alt+F2 and type: gnome-terminal -or- Press Ctrl+Alt+T) and copy the following commands in the Terminal:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
sudo apt-get update
