If you have a linux system with ImageMagick, you can easily resize and auto orientate pictures with a bash script.
Just create a file called resize.sh with the following content:
#!/bin/bash size=$1 path=$2 list=`find $path*` for file in $list; do echo $file convert -auto-orient -resize $size $file $file done exit 0
And give it execute rights.
When you call “./resize.sh 1024 /home/user/pictures/” every picture in /home/user/pictures will be auto-orientated and scaled to a max height or width of 1024 pixels. The auto-orientate is done by looking at the exif info.
