Description:
 resizePhoto is a nice service menu to resize your
photos to a size suitable for emailing.  It will
resize any picture so that it is no more than 640
pixels on a side while preserving the aspect
ration.  This size can easily be changed by
editing a text file.

You can resize any number of photos simultaneously
by multiselecting them in Konqueror, then choosing
the "Resize Photo" service menu.

A dialog will display the progress.  The dialog
has a cancel button.

Usage:
Open a folder containing some image files (.png,
.jpg, .gif) in Konqueror.  

Select one or several of these files.

Right-click one of the selected file and select
Action->Resize Photo.  (See first screenshot.)

A dialog will appear showing the progress of the
resizing.  (See second screenshot.)  Press cancel
if you so desire.

A folder named "Sized" will appear in the image
folder.  The resized photos are in that folder.

To install: 
Extract the two files from the tar.gz file.  Copy
the .desktop to
~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus.  Copy
the .sh file to somewhere in your path such as
/usr/bin, /usr/local/bin or ~/bin. Double check
that the .sh file is executable.

Edit the resizePhotos.sh file to change the size
of the resized files, or the name of the "Sized"
directory.

Dependencies:
resizePhotos depends on Imagemagick and bash being
installed.
