Usage

The script takes one required argument and one optional argument.

• Required: <rootDir> - The directory containing the images you wish to create thumbnails for. The thumbnails will be saved to a 'thumbnails' directory within this directory.

• Optional: --size <width:height> - Allows you to specify the dimensions of the thumbnails. If not specified, the default size is 200x200.

Run the script using the following command:

node index.js <rootDir> [--size <width:height>]

For example:

node index.js /path/to/images --size 400:300

Notes

• Existing thumbnails are not overwritten. Delete a thumbnail manually if you want to regenerate it.
• Errors during the thumbnail creation process are logged to the console.
