How to resize images in a directory?

Question

This code attempts to resize images in a directory called "imgs". Unfortunately for some reason when I uncomment the listFiles(..) loop ImageIO.read(sourceImageFile) will return null. Yet processing the same file straightaway outside the loop (res("imgs/foto_3.jpg")) works. So apparently, this loop is preventing the files from being read. Solutions?

import java.awt.image.*;
import java.io.*;
import javax.imageio.*;
import static org.imgscalr.Scalr.*;

public class App {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
//        for (File sourceImageFile : new File("imgs").listFiles()) {
//            res("imgs/"+sourceImageFile.getName());
//        }
        res("imgs/foto_3.jpg");

    }

    public static void res(String arg) throws IOException {

        File sourceImageFile = new File(arg);
        BufferedImage img = ImageIO.read(sourceImageFile);

        BufferedImage thumbnail = resize(img, 500);

        thumbnail.createGraphics().drawImage(thumbnail, 0, 0, null);
        ImageIO.write(thumbnail, "jpg", new File("resized/" + sourceImageFile.getName()));
    }
}

To reproduce the problem you can download the Maven project.

I've changed res method:

public static void res(File arg) throws IOException {
        if (arg.contains(".DS_Store")) {
            return;
        }

A mac-issue (or should filter non-image files, as was suggested)!
