Requested Right click Resize option

[Twotone]

With Windows Vista 64bit not having much support for the old XP powertoy that previously did this. I was wondering if it would be an option for this program to have in future releases.

I know you guys do batch resize. I use it, I love it but I would rather just go through a folder. Right click on a particular image and resize it right there without even opening it.

Thanks for your time. I'm sorry if this has been requested already.

Use the SendTo folder. Make a batch file with an IrfanView resize command. If you need the image converted, you can do that too silently. The script can even try determining a filename to make.

Now just right click a file in a folder and send it to your Resize command in the SendTo menu.

SendTo works with one file only

Hi, I just tried resize a few pictures (selected in folder) by batch file and its shortcut from SendTo folder but it works for one file only. My batch file code is:

@echo off
if not exist "D:\Temp\Pics\s" md "D:\Temp\Pics\s"
"D:\Program Files\sw\IrfanView\i_view32.exe" %1 /resize_long=1024 /aspectratio /resample /sharpen=7 /convert=d:\temp\pics\s\$N.jpg

Is there any way to resize all selected pictures? And do it without showing DOS box?


Another question, how to resize only large pictures so don't enlarge small ones?

Thanks.

You need to create a loop to process all the images you send. Like this

: Start
If %1=="" Goto End
[Your code for each image]
Shift
Goto Start
:End

And do it without showing DOS box?

Make a shortcut to to the batch file and edit its properties to run minimized:

Select the option Don't enlarge smaller images in the advanced batch dialog. Then use those settings on the command line by adding the switch /advancedbatch.

If you change your settings often, specify a dedicated INI in your script using /ini="Folder", where Folder would be the containing folder of your alternate i_view32.ini.

Mij, Skippybox, many thanks! It's cool, so handy.
