http://www.irfanview.com/ free image viewer for Windows, has "File" -> "Batch convert / rename" which can crop, resize, convert and so on.

I'm surprised you have settled on using a thing you dislike which doesn't work for you, when there are likely dozens or hundreds of wrappers, GUIs, APIs, programs and apps for image bulk editing to choose from.

As I've said, I only needed it a couple of times. Quickly Googled "batch image convert rename linux" or sth like that, saw which tool(s) I can use, checked the man page and I was done. My point was that if it had a simple GUI, I wouldn't have to read the man page.

_Settling_ on a solution indicates that a task is performed more often. In such a case, CLI is perfectly fine, because you learn how to use it while you do it and this knowledge sticks after several uses. I haven't used IrfanView, but I doubt it can compete with all the goodness of the command line.
