working example to create a small archive of your photos using convert (imagemagick)

First create a duplicate folder for your archive based on your orig structure (with no files).
For me /data/all_photos is where the big originals are, and i want copy put in /data/small

Code:

cd /data/all_photos

rsync -av -f"+ */" -f"- *" . /data/small

then, put this is a nice bash script (called rgm) in location say /data
{replace *123*.JPG with * or whatever you want}

Code:

while read file

do

oufile="${file:2}"

  convert -monitor -resize 1024x1024 "$file" "/data/small/${oufile}"

done < <(find . -name \*123*.JPG)

then
just run your command with

Code:

/data/rgm

{make sure your pwd is your photo root folder - for me /data/all_photos}

if you need convert, then get it using

Code:

sudo apt-get install imagemagick --fix-missing
