Resize pictures

[myki]

Hello,

I didn't know where to post this, so if i'm wrong, feel free to move it where you want
I was looking for a way to easily resize selected pictures in TC.
Before i met TCBL and ImageMagick, i used a tool named "Image Resizer for Windows" : http://imageresizer.codeplex.com/

It installs a new folder in the right clic menu with the common sizes, and offers the possibility to use custom formats.
And it can be use everywhere, and in TC too.

Personnaly, i used TCBL and ImageMagick.

For the beginners, i did like that :
I installed TCBL (double clic in TC) and ImageMagick in the TC folder\Tools\ImageMagick.
I made a new button with :
Commande = %COMMANDER_PATH%\TCBL\tcbl.exe
Paramètres = %L convert -resize 1719 $f $x-resize.$e
(replace 1719 with your wished size)
Icon : %COMMANDER_PATH%\Tools\ImageMagick\images\wand.ico
(or use this one, converted in .ico).

I hope i helped

PS : am i allowed to post urls ?
PS2 : is it possible to popup a window asking the size, with a default value inside ? (for me, 1719).

is it possible to popup a window asking the size, with a default value inside ? (for me, 1719)

Sure, just use a "?" in front of the parameter

Code: Select all

Paramètres = ?%L convert -resize 1719 $f $x-resize.$e

thanx a lot for your answer.
It works, but it asks the whole command line.
I would prefer that it asks only the size.
Possible ?

You can use askparam to launch tcbl like this if installed in tools folder:

Code: Select all

Commande = %COMMANDER_PATH%\tools\askparam
Paramètres = /w /t"1509" /p"Size"  %COMMANDER_PATH%\TCBL\tcbl.exe %L convert -resize %%1 $f $x-resize.$e

In next version of TCBL i will include a small app to get paramters.

[EDITED] /w must be passed in order TC do not delete temporary file (%L) while TCBL read it. /t must be set before /p

Thanx for your help, nsp
I am happy that a solution exists to ask a param.
Your solution worked after i doubled the "%" in parameters :

Code: Select all

Commande = %COMMANDER_PATH%\tools\askparam
Paramètres = /w /p"Size" /t"1509" %%COMMANDER_PATH%%\TCBL\tcbl.exe %L convert -resize %%1 $f $x-resize.$e

To be perfect, just the default value doesn't work, i will take a look tomorrow, or if you know the solution i will take it

myki, you should set default value before you ask for next parameter, so it should be written as /t"1509" /p"Size" exactly in this order. Parameter /t directly sets new text for text field and then parameter /p waits for the user action.

If i use askparam and my Paramètres have to use % and %%, how should i do?

for example i want to send 90% 90% to nconvert and 90 is a variable that i will input,
so i write -resize %%1% %%1% , but it can't work and nconvert just receive 90 90,thx for your reply.

If it is inside TC you should double the % sign and as it is passsed by command line you should also double each % sign and als double as is is also executed inside batch file that means that you should write:

Code: Select all

-resize "%%1%%%%%%%% %%1%%%%%%%%"

Yep ...

I found that when i use %%1%%%% can solve my problem

Thx for your reply

A big tanks to nsp for his useful utility but why don't you try/use totalrsz for image resizing?

http://www.totalcmd.net/plugring/rsz.html

it uses GraphicsMagick a fork of ImageMagick for Image processing and it has a useful pack gui for choosing your settings.
