For instance to resize a picture AND make a thumbnail in just one call. Any chance to see a new "-fromPICLIST.TXT" flag in a near future ?Īnother suggestion, for performance it would be great if PhotoResize could resample the same picture to several sizes in one call. txt file hover the app icon, you know that you have to read jpg filenames from the file). It may also work in drag'n drop mode (if the user drag a. Thanks for your quick answer Vlasta, it would be a great option to override the command line length limitation discussed several times in comments above. I just downloaded the file several minutes ago and have not tried all its options, much less use the command line for it. All the 327 3264x2448 pics were converted to 1600x1200 pics in a couple of minutes (well, maybe 3 or 4 or even 5 minutes). But there were new files on the folder corresponding to my picture files, named filename-1600.jpg, etc. A DOS box appeared with nothing in it, no text to indicate what is happening.
There was the "Resize Picture" command and i clicked on it. I right-clicked on the folder containing my pictures, and the context menu appeared.
When I ran the file, it did not do anything except present me with a box that allows me to set the command name (default: "Resize Picture" and options (default: -o), with buttons "Add to context menu," "Remove all," "Donate," and "Close." I just clicked on "Add to context menu" and used Windows Explorer (I have Windows XP) to locate my pictures. I renamed the file "PhotoResize1600.exe" so i can get 1600x1200 from 3264x2448.
The first download was incomplete at 245KB and I got the same problem others had: Windows complained that it is "not a valid Win32.exe application." I redownloaded and got 305KB and no more problem. t - invert the "independent size and DPI" flag. n - invert the "sharpen the resized image" flag. s - invert the "skip files that are already smaller than the specified size" flag. The two lists would look something like this: It would be tremendously useful to your users (and greatly appreciated) if you would simply make two lists of the codes with a brief description of each code. In fact, I notice you used the word "almost" in your post above when you said "Almost all options are described.". If I attempted to compile the list of options, I would apparently have to do a lot of detective work because I get the impression (from browsing your forum) that there are options that are not mentioned in your documentation. That's because you know all of the options. But I think you could do it far more easily than I could do it.
I would be happy to help with the documentation as you suggested in your post above (".feel free to compile the list of option yourself."). I'm surprised that this hasn't been mentioned before, and i think makes a lot of sense. Whereas it would be better if you could use the command line switch something like: (The second instance will overwrite the first) So you can't generate two files of different quality to the same folder.
For instance the following commands will have the same output filename It would be great if you could put in a command line switch to specify what should be appended to the filename instead of the default. This is a wonderful tool, and i'm so lucky i stumbled across it. I'd like to make a cash donation, is this possible? I had to increase the borders of all the images to the same as the largest jpg, before I could run this program to get it all correct. Using this program worked great to reduce all the images to a constant size, but as a result all the blueprints were no longer in scale with each other. The reason I bring this up is because my application was for conversion of jpgs that were scale drawings, all of which were scaled the same, but unfortunately the size of each image (widthxlength) were different.
The only reason I bring it up is a request for one additional feature, rather than just a fixed target size, I'd like to see a percentage target size, like say 50%. (eg, "$photoresize -p400 -r -c -dc:\picturedirectory")īut hardly really worth changing just for that. I like the "rename the program name" parameter list, being an old command line programmer I know exactly where this comes from, although having command line parameters would be more flexible, so nice to see a KISS (keep it simple) program that is so usefull and pinpoint accurate to what it should be doing.
