Need Thumbnail-Generator (command line !) program for Windows

[Paul Barasoa]

As the subject already said: I am searching for a thumbnail generator which can be accessed/called from
the command line.

It should take a given *.gif resp. *.jpg picture as parameter as well as the maximal width/height
of the resulting thumbnail and produce this thumbnail e.g.:

createthumb.exe -maxheight 60 -maxwidth 40 -savedir D:\data\thumbdir D:\mypictures\picture01.jpg thumbpicture01.jpg

Can some recommand me such a program ?

Not sure whether this has a command line interface, but its well worth
checking out - the author may even be willing to do a quick rehash of his
code to make it useful to others:

cygwin.com includes a port of the Linux ImageMagick convert
program. More info here:
http://www.imagemagick.org/

But get it by downloading the cygwin package at http://cygwin.com/

and in the installer, be sure to select the imagemagick tools.

Hallo Paul,
if you want work with things like this you have to take Unix or Linux for a
good choise of
command line tools. Mostly there are bash / Perl or PHP-scripts for doing
things like that.
A few years ago i tried the same things like you want to do but by learnig
to work with a unix system
i saw that there is all possible with free tools and help from
command-line-driven-people.
Perhaps there are Programms aso for windows, but here is a pearl script
which would help you in Linux.
I use this for doing thingss like that.
