Hello,

d oes anyone know a good replacement tool for nautilus-image-converter? (nautilus-image-converter - Fedora Packages)

I use it quite frequently and with the upcoming upgrade of my machine from F36 to F37 it will go away. Sad, but that’s what it is…

Thanks.

Since it uses ImageMagick under the hood, you can still use it from the command line if the GUI is not required.

You can search on the Internet or create your own Nautilus scripts and extensions:

Here I’ve coded a simple script:

sudo dnf install bash ImageMagick zenity

mkdir -p ~/.local/share/nautilus/scripts
tee ~/.local/share/nautilus/scripts/image-converter.sh << "EOF" > /dev/null
#!/usr/bin/bash

script_init() {
	IFS="|" read -r IMG_SIZE IMG_WSIZE IMG_HSIZE IMG_OUT < <(zenity \
		--forms \
		--title="Image converter" \
		--text="$(wc -l \
			<<< "${IMG_PATH}") files selected" \
		--ok-label="Resize" \
		--add-combo="Size" \
		--combo-values="$(tr " " "|" \
			<<< "${IMG_SIZE[@]}")" \
		--add-entry="Width" \
		--add-entry="Height" \
		--add-list="Output" \
		--list-values="copy / default|replace")
}

script_exec() {
	if [ -n "${IMG_WSIZE}" ] || [ -n "${IMG_HSIZE}" ]
	then IMG_SIZE="${IMG_WSIZE}x${IMG_HSIZE}"
	fi
	if [ -z "${IMG_SIZE/ /}" ]
	then IMG_SIZE="${IMG_DSIZE}x${IMG_DSIZE}"
	fi
	while read -r IMG_PATH
	do
		IMG_OPATH="${IMG_PATH%/*}/resized.${IMG_PATH##*/}"
		convert "${IMG_PATH}" -resize "${IMG_SIZE}" "${IMG_OPATH}"
		if [ "${IMG_OUT}" = "replace" ]
		then mv -f "${IMG_OPATH}" "${IMG_PATH}"
		fi
	done <<< "${IMG_PATH}" | zenity \
		--progress \
		--pulsate \
		--auto-close \
		--no-cancel \
		--title="Image converter" \
		--text="Processing files..."
}

IMG_PATH="${NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS/%$'\n'/}"
IMG_DSIZE="1024"
IMG_SIZE=(
	640x480 800x600 1024x768 1280x720 1366x768
	1440x900 1600x1200 1920x1080 2560x1440 3840x2160
)

if script_init
then script_exec
fi

exit 0
EOF
chmod +x ~/.local/share/nautilus/scripts/image-converter.sh

Is nautilus-image-converter really gone forever? It was such an easy way to quickly resize an image.

The package in Fedora is orphaned and the original upstream project is dead. However, a maintained fork exists: Corey Berla / nautilus-image-converter · GitLab
So there is no reason someone couldn’t pick up that fork and package it for Fedora again.

Thanks @heffer. I’m a retired dev on a completely different platform, but maybe I’ll learn how to package RPMs.

Any new infos on this? It is now over a year.

If you’re looking for a simple image converter then Switcheroo might be a handy alternative, it’s available as a flatpak and it works well.

Wanted to recommend that.

But also curious about Nautilus extensions/scripts.
