Not too long ago I blogged about the ability to quickly open a terminal session from within nautilus and a handy right-click. If you missed it you might want to take a look back here. In today’s post there is a similar very easy way to quickly resize or rotate images with a simple right-click.
Installation
To add this functionality we’ll need to install the nautilus-image-converter package:
sudo aptitude install nautilus-image-converter
Use
Before you’re able to use this functionality you’ll need to restart nautilus or simply logout and back in. You’ll now be able to right-click on any image on your machine and you’ll see two new menu items:
"resize images"
"rotate images"
The options menu that will be presented will give you quite a number of options on rotation direction, resizing, etc. Give it a quick try, its about as easy as it can get.

I just developed Phatch, a new Photo Batch Processor which easily can convert all your folders of photos recursively. It has a straightforward, but pleasant graphical user interface which also allows drag & drop. It can not just rotate or resize images, but also apply rounded corners, shadows, …
The website went just online:

At the bottom you have the “free download” link which will give you a deb installer for Ubuntu.

Hi this is a very nice Nautilus script. I’ve discovered a bug though. I think it doesn’t update the exif data concerning orientation correct.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Take a picture with the camera up right (a camera with a gyroscope).
2. Rotate the picture 90 degrees to make it stand correct.
3. View the photo with eog (double click it in nautilus should start eog when using Ubuntu)
It does look correct in Nautilus, but I think that is because it doesn’t use the exif data.
Thank you improving Nautilus.
Cheers

Forgot to tell that the picture isn’t rotated correctly when viewing it with eog because of the missing exif data
Is there a way to alter the selection of image sizes available in the resize dropdown list? A configuration file somewhere perhaps?

This is near perfect. I was so tired of having to use Gimp to resize photos one by one. Thanks for this!
Thank you. I found this very useful. It beats opening up GIMP that’s for sure.
