Recursive Mogrify Script

Question

Another question from a newbie linux scripter. I'm trying to batch mogrify all the files in a folder using this command

find -name "*.jpg" -exec mogrify -resize 320 -quality 75 {} \;

The command runs but nothing seems to happen.

Thanks in advance

Try

find -name "*.jpg" -print

to see what files match; this may help diagnose if the problem is with mogrify or with find.

Sorry all but this was just user error. I was not in the correct folder when testing. The command actually does work.

In that case, you should mark Joel's answer as correct, since that was the debugging that would identify your error. – ghoti Jun 22 '12 at 19:42
