Ubuntu – Can’t resize some icons

iconsnautilus

I upgraded to 12.10 yesterday and I am having a problem. Icons of my files are shown as the icon image's original size.

I tried to resize the icons but it did not work! But the normal size icons seems to be alright.
Icon Problem

Tasks icon is shrunk by me (I can do this).
Archive icon is of original size.
Deliverables icon is enlarged (I can do this too).
Eclipse icon is the problem. The image used for this one is 256x256. The icon is shown as that size. I cannot resize it to be smaller (or larger).

I am not sure if its important, I used Upgrade option from a bootable USB to install 12.10.

Try: Right click on the icon and selection "Original Size", then attempt to resize again.

Otherwise, move aside the dconf/gconf settings directories and restart nautilus (log off) and try again.

Everything checks out here, resizing both .desktop files and normal files.

Ubuntu – How to batch process JPG images to change their quality with Nautilus-Actions

You cannot use %F twice in a command like that, because %F gets replaced by the names of every file selected. For example, a command of sh with parameters -c 'printf "%%s\n" "$@" > foo' %F %F will create a file named foo with the names of every file selected, twice. Therefore the convert command that actually runs is:

convert file1.jpg file2.jpg ... -quality 80% file1.jpg file2.jpg ... fileN.jpg-80q.jpg

And since the last file is taken to be the output file name, only it will matter.

What you can do is wrap your command in bash -c and run a for loop:

bash -c 'for i; do convert "$i" -quality 80% "${i/%.jpg/-80q.jpg}"; done'

(where I am assuming that all files end with .jpg)

In an action, you will have bash as the command, and for the parameters:

-c 'for i; do convert "$i" -quality 80%% "${i/%%.jpg/-80q.jpg}"; done' - %F

You can make this more complicated to handle any extension, at which point you might as well skip Actions and use scripting.
