ImageResizerPowerToy for WinXP

Hello
I'am not sure, to be in the right newsgroup?
Using WinXp Sp2, and have installed this Powertoy, to resize images.
Can select pictures,rightclick them, and can choose the reolution, and
convert.
Well, but I want to convert about 10000 pictures....
Is there a way, to do it via C# or C++ with Visual Studio?
Is this a COM Component?
Or how can I access this resizer via batch or script?

Thanks and best regards remo brigger

RE: ImageResizerPowerToy for WinXP

Converting pictures automatically can of course be done using PowerShell, but
it might require some knowledge of the PowerShell scripting language or the
..NET framework. Are you sure that using a freeware image batch conversion
tool is not sufficient for your task?

Have a look at this tool, it quite advanced and has lots of batch features:

In case this is not powerful enough for you, then maybe someone will take
the challenge and post some interesting one liners to prove the power of
PowerShell... ;-)

Re: ImageResizerPowerToy for WinXP

Hello
Thanks for the link, but....
I had a look at this tool (download V3.98) and it is nice, but does not work
correct:
When I choose batch conversion & rename, select JPG/JPEG files, and press
add all->
only the JPEG files will be taken, and them doubled (2 files will be
converted for one source file???)

And also the description about commandline, there is no way , to convert and
rename, and set the output path...

(As I tought, freeware is nice but it covers not my wishes)
I've about 10'000 images in over hundret directories to convert

But I'am familiar with .Net (not with graphik, but other tasks)
And so, I will do the task for myself....(.Net or Shellscripting)

Have you any samples or links ??

best regards and thanks

I've found a good sample in a blog entry from the official PowerShell blog
dealing with converting images in Powershell:
http://blogs.msdn.com/powershell/arc...25/583227.aspx

This is a good starting point if you're not familiar with PowerShell yet:
http://channel9.msdn.com/wiki/defaul...PowerShellWiki

If you need any further help with PowerShell, this is the right newsgroup to
ask questions.
