Baires – Batch Image Resizer
The problem: I need the easiest way possible to resize a bunch of images from a digital camera, or from one directory, and place them into another.
There are a lots of great tools for the job. As linux user, I had a choice of a variety of excellent applications to use, from large scale applications like GIMP or Krita, to small tools like BIRT. Lately, because I have KDE4, I used Gwenview because it supports batch resizing.
However, all of them ask you to select the files which you wish to resize. Well, I want all of them; I may have already prepared them in some directory by selecting them from various sources. So, file selection was just slowing me down.
Solution: Since I could not find a tool which would solve my problem, I made one.
Baires is an application that will resize all of your pictures that reside in a selected folder, and resize them to the same folder or another folder. Since it keeps ‘last used’ settings, next time resizing is just one click away.
Baires is an open source GUI application, made in Qt. It works on all platforms, but if you are not using openSUSE or Fedora linux, you’ll have to compile it from source. I have pre-compiled RPM packages for openSUSE 11.0 to 11.2, SLED/SLES 10 and 11, and Fedora 9-12, available for download.
You can download it from Baires download page
