imagemagick batch resize with spaces in filenames [SOLVED]

hello there, I've got plenty of photos to resize. I'm trying to use imagemagick's mogrify for recursive batch resizing, but I've got many folder with spaces in their names, so that doesn't work.
The command I found on the internet is the following:

$ find somefolder/ -name "*.jpg" -exec mogrify -resize 1024x768 {} \;

Is there any way to escape spaces in file path?

thx

What happens if you put the {} in quotes? --> "{}"

@peart: I thought about this one myself. Doesn't work.

@Mr Green: does this mean I'm supposed to have something like that:

$ find somefolder/ -name "*.jpg" -exec mogrify -resize 1024x768 {//\ /\\ } \;

*edit*
no, definetely no. I guess I misunderstand.

Re: imagemagick batch resize with spaces in filenames [SOLVED]

$ find somefolder/ -name "*.jpg" -ls -exec mogrify -resize 1024x768 {} \;

doesn't work either.

alright, I finally got over it using jhead:

jhead -cmd "mogrify -resize 1024x768 -quality 80 &i" -r *.jpg
