Hi Ralph,

You are partly right.
They work and they don't.
Managed to find the culprit.

If you access a bunch of files locally (i.e. /local_volume/Images) it works like a
charm.

If you access a bunch of files via smb/cifs/ntfs (i.e. on a remote network location)
it doesn't work.
If you right-click the resize option, the following message comes up :
------
Nautilus Image Manipulator needs to be provided with a list of images to resize.
Please right-cilck on an image and select the "Resize image" option.
------
Which is what I do in the first place, but then the same message pops-up !

Niiice :-)

So I am half-way there; At the moment the functionality is useless to me as it is
because I need to access network shares ! 
DUH !

I am searching on the net as we speak for a possible solution but can't find
anything.

Regards,
