Need to Batch .JPG Modify - Linux

I'm pretty sure the problem lies with the quotes that you use in the for statement. You've used the normal quote character whereas I think you need back-quotes:
for image in `ls *.jpg`

Use

Code: Select all

for image in *.jpg

not

Code: Select all

for image in ls *.jpg

which expands to

Code: Select all

ls
file0.jpg
...
fileN.jpg

and then cannot find the file called "ls".

To remove the instances of things like thumbnail.jpg use

Code: Select all

for image in *.jpg
in
  case "$image" in
  *.thumbnail.jpg) continue ;;
  esac
  ...
done

The case will have the script ignore the file names that matched.

For a recursive 'find' method use

Code: Select all

find . -type f -name '*.jpg' \! -name '*.thumbnail.jpg' | xargs ....
