Shrinking the size of images in gimp

You can easily script The Gimp using Scheme or Perl. If you know Scheme,
it would probably be easier, because Perl has a built-in console-like
interpreter for it. I personally use Perl, because that's what I know,
and it gives me power to do pretty much anything I want (interacting
with the filesystem, networking, etc.).

Granted, the Imagemagick resizing trick looks a lot simpler than the
perl script I wrote for The Gimp, but for more complex operations, Perl
scripting beats Photoshop's "Actions" any day!
