K, since this USED to be mostly a TGP webmaster site, at least when I joined in 01' I have a question I need help with, bear with me, I'm thinking out loud.
ok, I got 30k+ pics I need to make into 15 pic sets, just need the pics watermarked, resized and matching thumbs. I have come to the conclusion that no program I can find for the mac can do this easily, without needing time consuming workarounds to rename each pic and thumb to conform to the uniform naming option I need, and those that do you can't create a square thumb that looks decent or a perfectly sized watermark on the pic.
just need to take say an original pic set of 150, break them down into random pic 10 directories, rename each one "picname-00.jpg" counting to "picname-14.jpg", resize,& watermark, and have 320x320 thumbs made with no watermarks into a directory called "thumbs".
So the directories will look like this, and are always named the same from dir to dir numbered 00-14.jpg and doesn't keep counting upto 30k for the file rename:
