Oh, My G***! I found my old backup hard rive and on it, "ancient" iPhoto libraries. Dated back in 2008! and earlier. Converting them now to have a look and sort them out. For some of the images, I was looking into generating smaller versions, to show them to my family. Does anyone have a nice script to generate smaller versions or an idea how to do that?***
@carsten ImageMagick to the rescue! Its convert utility is *the* perfect solution to your problem: for i in *.JPG; do convert -resize 1600x $i $i.resized.jpg; done Adjust the size to your needs. Also you might want to reduce quality a tad to save on file size with -quality 70 or something similar. Exif metadata can be stripped using -strip. That's basically exactly what I'm doing with my nature image galleries, too.
@carsten ImageMagick maybe?


for i in *jpg
do
    convert -strip -quality 50 -resize '>640x480' -auto-orient "$i" "$outdir/$i"
done


I create my “galleries” using this happy little accident.

@movq interesting tool! Can you link me to an example of where you've used this?

@prologic You’ve probably already seen it without knowing it. Some examples:

- https://www.uninformativ.de/pics/index.html
- https://www.uninformativ.de/desktop/

It’s probably not good on smartphones or tablets – because I use neither of those.

@movq Thanks! And actually it works pretty nicely on mobile!

Do you mind if I borrow from you here, I really like what you've done.

I also like what @lyse has done as well.

I want to build something around this with a similar structure and UX and some way of non-tech-savvy users to be able to build a gallary of some media they want to share.

@prologic Sure, go ahead. 😊 I’m looking forward to that tool of yours! (Although I’ve mostly given up hope that non-tech-users, i.e. my family, might use it. Google/Apple is just too convenient for them.)

@movq Don't give yo hope! 🤗 We just have to make it even more convenient without the privacy downsides 😆

@movq THIS is the stuff I was looking for. I was searching around twtxt but couldn't find it as we talked about it the last time—I think we did. Or did I talk to lyse about sth, similar? I can't remember. But this easy to use. Thanks. Btw: which git repo software do you use? Looks nice and easy and slim which could be run on my homelab instead of gitea e.g.
@lyse Thanks. I was using this first when I later found out about the sips command on macOS.
@movq thanks a lot.
@carsten The Git repo browser is stagit with a few local patches. I run it locally and then rsync everything to the server. Saves me the need to run (and maintain) any server-side software except for httpd itself. It does have some drawbacks, though, like not displaying images.

@movq naja. but as we learned here, some people really do "hate" images on websites :-)
@carsten Yes, you remember correctly. @prologic asked about it one day and a litle bit later you had the same question where somebody linked to my answer (sorry, forgot who it was).
