It could also be handy for similar, simple batch tasks like resizing hundreds of images. But on Windows (and no doubt on Mac) there are plenty of options for things like that. yep. |

That is great, and you have explained your reason for building thumbnails, and that you use ImagMagick to do that. However, in the context of the OP’s original post, he has never explained why he needed to build these thumbnails, and he has never said that he uses ImageMagick, only that he had written a script to do the job. As of your post, there is only speculation that he uses ImageMagic, or the reason for creating thumbnails. Further, out in the World of creating web sites, and/or web galleries there are far simpler ways to do that sort of thing. -- Regards, Savageduck |

There might be other, even better, ways to do it. there most certainly are, but unless he explains what he's trying to do, he's unlikely to find out what those are. |

How is there a "best" answer to the question anyway? easy, but you're not interested in helping anyone. |

That is great, and you have explained your reason for building thumbnails, and that you use ImagMagick to do that. However, in the context of the OP’s original post, he has never explained why he needed to build these thumbnails, Does he need to? Yes. If he is truly seeking a rational solution to his question. Explain? Explain what? If that's the way he wants to do it, then why should anyone else question it? Because he is not satisfied with the method he is using, and posted his OP query because he was not getting what he wanted using his script method. If he wants to create thumbnails, why should anyone question his reasons? Because, there might not actually be a need to create those thumbnails, and if for some strange reason he has a logical need to create thumnails he could be guided to a solution which would give him the results he desires. There might be other, even better, ways to do it. There are. However, all Phillip asked was why there was a size difference between the KD10 and the GR output. He didn't ask for advice on how to make the thumbnails by a more simple method or whether or not he should continue to make them. True. However, due to the vague nature, and shortage of information in his OP, all it did was end up generating more questions, and a little conjecture. There have been 43 follow-up posts to his question; none of which have answered the question. ....and a fair number of those responses were due to Carlos acting as a Phillip proxy, and Linux advocate. Only one person has even conjectured about the "Why?". The rest, for the most part, are of the "I don't see a need to do it - or do it that way - so you must be wrong". type. Actually none of the responses were of the “so you must be wrong” type. My responses were certainly of the “I don’t see a need to do it” with a touch of “I don’t see a need to do it that way” type. Your response, on the other hand is of the “Why are you even questioning his post?”, criticizing responders without addressing the question, or providing any alternate solution, type. ....and Happy New Year to you sir. -- Regards, Savageduck |

But the question seemed arbitrary. If he knew what he was doing he could have checked those two possibilities himself before asking. Why didn't he extract the thumbnails? Did he know he can do that? Why is he concerned about file size but seemingly oblivious to image quality? What's he using them for? We don't know what his experience is. We don't even know for sure that he knows what a thumbnail is. He doesn't seem to be aware of what software he's using. There's a good chance that he just copied that code from somewhere online. So it makes sense to ask what he's trying to accomplish. |

I am sure that this typical exchange between you two is going to add considerable value to this thread. -- Regards, Savageduck |
