[ale] How to use xargs correctly to create thumbnails

[Gary Maltzen]

Create a "/path/to/doit1" script

   #!/bin/bash
   /path/to/convert -geometry 25\% $1 $1-mini

Then use the "-exec" option of find...

   find /tmp/test -name \*\.jpg -exec /path/to/doit1 \{\} \;

Then go back through and rename *.jpg-mini to *-mini.jpg
with a "/path/to/doit2" script

   #!/bin/bash
   mv $1 `echo $1 | sed -e 's/.jpg-mini/-mini.jpg/'`
