[01:19] <ChinnoDog> I am failing at editing my partition table
[01:25] <ChinnoDog> sfdisk says that writing the new partition table worked but clearly it did not :-\
[02:08] <ChinnoDog> Never mind. My math was bad. I have successfully modified my partition table
[05:16] <InHisName> any photo editors awake right now ?
[05:25] <InHisName> What's the easiest app to do a bunch of thumbnailing of photos to 460x284 pixels.  I'd like to set a rectangle of 460x284 and drag it to where I want it then hit crop and save as. Then next photo until the big pile is done with.
[05:36] <InHisName> off to sleep now, I'll read your answers when I get up.
[08:14] <square-r00t> InHisName: assuming the aspect ratio is the same and you want to just resize, not actually CROP,   mkdir ~/incoming; cd /path/to/images/to/be/resized/ ; find ./ -maxdepth 1 -type f -exec convert '{}' ~/incoming/'{}' \;
[08:16] <square-r00t> what that does: the first one makes a folder called "incoming" in your home directory. this is where the resized images will go. then we cd (change directory) to where the input images are. the next one, the find command, searches only the current directory for only files (if they all have the same filename extension, you can throw -iname "*.EXTENSION" after the -type f)
[08:16] <square-r00t> it then runs "convert", the cli ImageMagick utility, to resize the image to- oh, whoops, wait
[08:17] <square-r00t> InHisName:  mkdir ~/incoming; cd /path/to/images/to/be/resized/ ; find ./ -maxdepth 1 -type f -exec convert '{}' -resize 460x284\! ~/incoming/'{}' \;
[08:17] <square-r00t> THAT
[08:17] <square-r00t> so then it runs convert and force-resizes to the desired size on all the files at once (may take a little bit of time)
[08:17] <square-r00t> done
[08:19] <square-r00t> or you can use GIMP. open the file, Image > Resize (alt+r, i believe, also brings it up) and unclick the chain icon to prevent aspect ratio forcing. select the dropdown for pixels, and enter the desired size, etc.
[08:19] <square-r00t> my way takes a lot less longer. :)
[08:28] <JonathanD> Morning.
[08:33] <square-r00t> indeed it is
[08:34] <JonathanD> Time to pary.

[09:19] <rmg51> Morning
[09:22] <JonathanD> hi rmg51
[09:23] <rmg51> o/
[09:40] <JonathanD> Last day, rmg51
[09:40] <rmg51> last day for what?
[09:43] <JonathanD> my job
[09:43] <JonathanD> I start the new one next week.
[09:45] <rmg51> I'd like to do the same thing
[09:45] <rmg51> but I don't really want to start looking
[12:03] <teddy-dbear> Morning peoples, dogs, turkeys and everything else
[12:32] <InHisName> Hi square-r00t, that's a great fast way to force a resize to a std thumb.  But I wanted to crop.  Orig are mostly tall skinny pics and few are horiz.   I want a horz midsize thumb where I can pick where the pixels are snatched from. I'd just like to have crop rectangle pop up without having to type the numbers in over and over.  Then all I need to do is drag rectangle to area to capture, crop it, and save as. Then next photo.
[12:37] <jedijf> < square-r00t> or you can use GIMP. open the file, Image > Resize (alt+r, i believe, also brings it up) and  unclick the chain icon to prevent aspect ratio forcing. select the dropdown for pixels, and  enter the desired size, etc.
[12:38] <jedijf> InHisName: one at a time ^^^
[12:42] <InHisName> Do I have to RE-TYPE in 460x284 EACH and EVERY time I want to crop one ?    Is there an app that will use predefined default crop size of 460x284 ?  Thereby reducing the re-dundant re-typing.

[13:01] <rmg51> it's in the repos ^^
[20:00] <InHisName> I installed something called shutter to do the crops.
