Phatch does currently not expose the extensions setting through the command line. You can file a blueprint for that.

As a temporary solution, I think that Phatch remembers the setting from when you use the GUI. So set the extensions in the GUI to jpeg only and see if Phatch uses jpeg only when used from the command line.

Actually the following seems to work.

phatch -cv resize.phatch  /path/to/pictures/*.JPG

I see there is a -o option to overwrite existing images is it possible to not replace existing images. I run the above and just seems to overwrite existing images anyway! I have this running as a cron job and just want it to resize new images in a folder. I have over 1000 images in the source folder so this chews up the resources.

cheers
