I do have a DSLR with 18 mega-pixel output, which takes a lot of space and I do take plenty of images.
So I keep a resized version for long term storage.
Unfortunately it doesn't support (out of box) all the resolution options that I want.
Recently, (due to my lack of knowledge or ignorance) I wanted to resize 4000+ images to half of it's size (may be around 9MP to 12 MP).
So I loaded the "Batch Conversion" tool with settings "Set new size as percentage of Original" to 50% and ran the conversion and deleted original images before viewing the output (sic)
What resulted is 4.48 MP image !
What I forgot to pay attention is, 50% reduction in both Height and Weight will result in 250% reduction in overall size !
I paid for my ignorance.
But can you add one Textbox for setting the target image size (taking into account of aspect ratio) to certain Mega Pixel ?
In case it can't resize to that *exact* MP, it can try to go nearby (say instead of 10MP, 9.78MP).
Please, it might help many others also.
Thanks for paying attention.
