How to use it?
|
The size of output pictures is controlled by the name of the application. To rename it, click on the icon to select it and do one of these things: press F2 key, click in the text under the icon, or right-click the icon and select Rename command in the menu.
Depending on your settings, you'll either see ".exe" on the end or not. If you see it, keep it there, if you do not see it, do not add it.

| Size: x | Custom quality (1-100): |

Rename to: PhotoResize400.exe |

For more advanced scenarios, you'll need to use the command line parameters. Learn about them on the advanced settings page.
Picture Resizer does not limit the number of images resized at once, but there are other factors that may impose a limit.
When files are dragged and dropped on the tool icon, Windows Explorer sends the names of the dropped files as command line parameters to Picture Resizer. Windows has a limit on the total length of command line. If the filenames(+paths) are longer than the limit, Explorer will not run the tool and display an error instead.
To work around this limitation, drag and drop entire folders instead of individual files or place your files closer to to the root of your hard drive (e.g. place them into C:\imgs instead of C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserName\My Documents\My Pictures\Vacation\).

A bugfix update 6.0.1 was released on February 13th 2012.
Version 2.0 introduces a new usage scenario. The tool supports intergration with Windows shell and allows you to define one or more commands that are added to Windows Explorer context menu (the menu that appears when you right-click on a file). Separate each switch by space, just like on command line.
To add a command to context menu, start the tool and type the name of the command to the "Command name" field and additional command line options (if you want to use them) to the "Additional options" field. Finally click the "Add to context menu" button.
To remove all created commands, click the "Remove all".

Version 2.0 allows you to add multiple commands to context menu of .jpg files.
PhotoResize was recently updated to be compatible with Vista Explorer - you can use it as a replacement for the missing Image Resizer PowerToy.

Open Windows Explorer and go to your "Send To" folder (usually C:\Documents and Settings\<your user name>\SendTo).
Place one or more configured copies of Picture Resizer there. Items placed in this folder will appear in Send To
context menu as demonstrated on the picture. Tip: you may change the tool's name to for example "Resize to 400.exe" instead of "PhotoResize400.exe". |
Version 6.0 from November 6th 2010:
Version 3.0 from April 14th 2008:

Hi..excellent program which I use daily but have a quick question if I may...
I use it as a drag/drop for resizing multiple folders and this opens up a "dos/cmd" prompt type window showing each file. Occasionally it will error and it can get missed in the long list of changes, so is there a way that this can be redirected to a file for later interrogation please..?
Thanks

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\jpegfile\shell\PhotoResize04632782]
@="Resize Q50"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\jpegfile\shell\PhotoResize04632782\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\PhotoResize\\PhotoResize.exe\" -O -R -S -H2160 -I -Q50 -M \"%1\""
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Folder\shell\PhotoResize04632782]
@="Resize Q50"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Folder\shell\PhotoResize04632782\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\PhotoResize\\PhotoResize.exe\" -O -R -S -H2160 -I -Q50 -M \"%1\""
Please see above, this works well in Windows 7 (you will need to change the registry locations for Windows 10)
How do you use the above code?
Copy the code into notepad make any setting changes you require then save the file as a .REG now run it as administrator. This will add a context menu item called "Resize Q50". This will enable you to right click on a photo or a folder and easily resize images.
NOTE: You may want to change the file name to PhotoResize400.exe as that is the default file name. Alternatively rename your exe to PhotoResize.exe it doesn't matter as long as they are the same.
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\PhotoResize\\PhotoResize.exe\" -O -R -S -H2160 -I -Q50 -M \"%1\""

Great program, but the -z wild card pattern matching doesn't seem to work, with or without the full path, with or without quotes round path/filename, with or without -r switch. For example
PhotoResize400.exe [-r] -i -[path\]zgen*.jpg
to resize and overwrite all jpgs with a filename that starts with 'gen' ie gen1.jpg, but not gon1.jpg or gen1.txt, in current folder.
Program 'runs' (goes to Press Enter to exit) but nothing is changed.
Any ideas?
What is the exact command line?
