You can take advantage of Bash and ImageMagick to quickly do processing of many images.
for file in *.jpg; do convert $file -resize 1000 resized-$file; doneBut it could be even easier using the command mogrify from the same library:
Use rsync and exclude node_modules:
rsync -rv --exclude=node_modules my_projects /media/my_name/Seagate\ Expansion\ Drive/-rv stand for recurse into directories and increase verbosity (see more info while copying)
First of all, we have to order our files using ls -v and concatenate them to a standar output with cat -n. From this ouput we read the sequence (n) and the name of each file (f). Finally, we rename the files using mv, adding a prefix and the sequence (n)
ls -v | cat -n | while read n f; do mv "$f" "prefix$n.jpg"; doneIf we want to add a zero pad (p) to our sequence (n) we can do it easily with printf.
ls -v | cat -n | while read n f; do printf -v p %03d $n; mv "$f" "prefix$p.jpg"; donemogrify *.jpg -scale 50% *If you are working with your server, ex: sending some file now and then with SSH, you can experience some annoying connection losses. Actually, if SSH has been idle for a while the connection will be closed.
You can prevent this easily adding a config file with just 2 lines of code to your .ssh folder in your home.
nano ~/.ssh/configHost *
