    Requested Batchresize Option - Resize by Mega Pixel

    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.

    It can be worse if the plugin options are set to load half sized or preview images.

    Bottom line: Test with one image before running the full batch, and don't delete anything without checking that the results are satisfactory. I certainly don't think we need another resize option. If people want to resize by 50% of the area, then you should resize by 71% of the width/height.
