Batch processing

  • Install batcher Gimp plugin by copying its extracted folder to ~/.config/GIMP/3.0/plug-ins.
  • Multiple images can be easily resized from its gui in gimp.

Multiple image to pdf

  • Gimp not used because the pdf produced is too large on the disk.
  • convert (from imagemagick) and img2pdf without the --imgsize option, produce pages of different sizes in the same pdf document.
  • Without sorting by number, wildcards would sort files in an alphabetical order.
$ sudo pacman -Sy img2pdf
$ img2pdf -o file.pdf --imgsize 72dpi $(ls -1 *.jpg | sort -n | tr '\n' ' ')
