G'day Colin (and the rest of the world :-)

Your comment about batch resizing reminded me that I would *really* 
like a batch cropping tool.

Perhaps impossible (I know naught of graphics formats) but maybe it 
can be done, at least in theory if not yet (ever?) in practice.

Given a large set of "identical" images (that is, they all have the 
same general format but differ in contained detail -- imagine a camera 
on a fixed stand taking photos of a street scene every so often and 
you'll get the "picture") I would like to be able to set up a batch 
job to edit the files (JPEGs probably, perhaps GIFs too) and crop them 
to the same set of specified coordinates within the image (say the 
rectangle contained within 45,25/650,410 pixels or whatever from the 
bottom left corner for example).

Anyone know if such exists, or is ever likely to?


Cheers, Phred.
