Custom action help

I am trying to make a custom action to reduce the size of jpg files.

This is not working.

convert -resize 800X450 %f.jpg %f.jpeg

Re: Custom action help

%f refers to the full filename (e.g. myfile.jpg). By appending ".jpg" to the filename input parameter, you are telling convert that the filename is "myfile.jpg.jpg" and that file doesn't exist. What you want to run is:

convert -resize 800X450 %f %f.jpeg

Note: that the resulting output file name will be "mytest.jpg.jpeg".
