Custom action problem

I have this as a custom action.

It is not quite working right.

convert -resize 1024X768 %f %fsmaller.png

I need the original file name with smaller appended to it.

small_OA_How_Food_Portions.pngsmaller.png

I do not need the "smaller.png" part at the end.

Thanks.

Re: Custom action problem

I can't get this to fit inline, so you'll need to create a script with the following content:

#!/bin/bash

convert -resize 1024X768 $1 ${1%.*}smaller.${1#*.}

...and make the script executable.

Then in the custom action, make the command "/path/to/script %f" where /path/to/script is the full path and script name.
