Here's a quick one for all those of you out there who are tired of manually resizing their files and playing with the compression ratio to get them to be the right size.
I did use irfanview in the past for that, but that means opening ans saving each files one by one. I did use BDsizer before also but somehow wanted something smaller with no buttons, you know, one of those one trick ponies where you just drag a folder and it does its job?
Well, I wrote a small script just for that. Just copy the text and save it as a .bat or .cmd file. You can tweak the settings as you want.
Be warned though:
IT WILL OVERWRITE EVERY FILE WITH THE NEW SMALLER VERSION!In order to be able to run this script, you have to install the
ImageMagick command line tools.
Enjoy!
