Nokia N900 Picture Converter
 
I want to transfer a bunch of pics from my PC to my N900. However, my pictures are taken with a 10mp camera and are 3888x2592. This is of course overkill for the device and will fill up my device space quite quickly.

Is there a way when transferring pictures to the device for the pictures to be shrunk down to the device's screen resolution? This is a common feature on file transfer software on all the mp3 players I have had. A similar feature for videos would be nice too.

If you're a user linux you can do a simple script to do this and transfer file from the command line.

for example you can do:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
while [ $# -ge 1 ] ; do
convert $1 -resize 800x480 ${dest_folder}/$1
shift
done
and you will use it as follow:
./script_name file1.jpg file2.jpg file3.jpg file4.jpg

you have to define the var ${dest_folder}. If you don't know how, don't hesitate to ask.

The 32GB storage shouldn't be a problem, well actually ~27GB
Even if you fill that up, you still got another 16GB from the extended memory card.

I don't understand what you mean by shrunk down?

Do you want to:
1. Compress them to lower quality images?
2. Crop?

Actually, you'd want to resize to 720x480 to preserve the aspect ratio and not distort the images, I think.

if you are a windows user you can batch convert with Irfanview.

Wo!!! Have no idea what any of that means. Not even the first word. I've never used Linux or anything to do with programming.

On Windows I would mount my N900 as a usb storage device and then use Picasa for exporting a copy of a selected group of pictures to a directory in the N900, asking Picasa to automatically resize them to 720x480.

Well, I suggest you to begin do something on linux if you'd like to really control your N900 :D

If you are talking about JPEG images I have my own applicatin to resize the images.

http://www.kissmyimage.com

the idea behind it was to be able to have the most easy application to resize JPEG images in size (pixel) and have the possiblity to set a maximum allowed size in KB.

I was looking for something like it and never found anything that was really easy (reduced to the max) as well as letting me specify a max size in terms of KB.
