What would you use in a script, then?

there's no need to use a script at all. why make things more difficult

Scripts are trivial to use for automation. What, you do not know...? Wow.

wow what? i know what a script is. the point is there is no need for
one when existing apps *already* can do it.

Ok, I'll bite. Which one?

lightroom and photos both can export photos in whatever sizes the user
wants. plenty others.

there is also no need to generate separate thumbnails anyway. it's a

In Linux, of course. You know all. :-P

no, not in linux.

that's why you have to resort to writing scripts to do basic tasks such
as exporting photos.
