Hi
I know it's a waste of electrons to grumble about Windows.
But I'm using an otherwise nice Windows Application Irfanview to manage
some photos, except it seems to use that default Windows behaviour "I won't
remember the last folder you were using" so you have to keep walkng to the
correct directory.
Phew relieved my anguish, sorry about that.
But while I'm at it is there any cygwin CLI application which will resize a
JPG?

Hmm, I'm using IrfanView 3.80 and it remembers the last folder...

Despite its widespread use, Irfranview, IMHO, is the digital image
equivalent of Wordpad. Things on a Mac are much better all round, but
on a Windows system, ACDSee is still the fastest viewer/browser (even
the really old versions work great).
Regrettably, on Linux systems, the choices are extensive but from what
I've seen, most are somewhere between slow and stupid. Resorting to
writing PHP and viewing images in a browser window, I guess, works for
some.

Imagemagick is what you're looking for.
convert foo.jpg -resize 96x96 bar.jpg

Hi merci tout le monde
What worked for me (fortunately I already had ImageMagick!)
>convert -sample 80x40 abbeyparkarch.gif s_abbeyparkarch.gif
>lsimg abbeyparkarch.gif s_abbeyparkarch.gif
(Cant remember where I got lsing.exe from)
(Yeah I was doing something odd in IrfanView, probably my fault,
IrfanView has some really nice features)

You reference "LSIMG" in "Is there a cli tool to list image dimensions?" on
comp.unix.shell
There appear to be no other references to it besides your message, so I
assume you wrote it, or modified some other program.
Are you sure it is an exe and not just a shell script wrapper around
imagemagick's 'identify' utility?

Joe,

Just did a strings lsimg.exe
Whatever it's very useful
