I found that the best tool for this is actually ImageMagick (available for
openSuse 12.1). This is a set of comand line utilities that has the 
possibility (among many others) to resize images to fit a given height or 
width. (if you have the package installed, try 'man convert' in a console 
window, or have a look at the on-line documentation).

If you want to use Digikam, that would be a job for the batch queue. I'm not 
sure if the resize tool there allows you to adjust images to fit for one 
dimension, or if it just forces the image to the new size
