Open your Nemo scripts folder /home/user_name/.gnome2/nemo-scripts

Create a new file, and paste the following :

#!/bin/bash #auto resizer if [ "$1" = "" ];then wdir=${NEMO_SCRIPT_CURRENT_URI#file://} wdir=${wdir//%20/ } else filetype=$(file "$1") filetype=${filetype##*: } if [ "$filetype" = "directory" ];then wdir=${NEMO_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS%%$1*} wdir=$wdir/$1 else wdir=${NEMO_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS%%$1*} fi fi cd $wdir for file in *.JPG; do convert $file -resize 800x600 resized-$file;done

Save and make it as executable, then enjoy ! 

Go to the folder where pictures you need to resize are, right click in a blank space > scripts > resize
