Resize on large number of pictures

[kyle1745]

I have a install with over 6000 pictures and am looking for a easy way to resize all of my thumbmails... Any ideas as the admin tools are not cutting it for large numbers.

Can't seem to find a rules thread so I don't know about posting exteranl links, so I won't.  There's plenty of free applications available for batch resizing images locally on your computer... Just FTP them after resizing. I'll post a link a few links if allowed if I can find the rules.

@thecoalman: Posting links to external pages is OK if they fit to the subject of the thread, so you could have posted reference to apps that do batch-resizing.

@kyle1745: what exactly is wrong with admin tools for you? Try processing less pics in one go if you run into timeouts.
