Paintize them

[myspacee]

hello to all,

want to open and save a lot of .jpg files using MSpaint

think this :

- list .jpg in given directoy

- for each file

- open

- save

- exit

- next file

then script this:

#include <file.au3>
#include <array.au3>

Dim $sourcedir

            
;Root folder
$sourceFolder = FileSelectFolder("Select folder with some images "  & @CRLF & "(*.*)", "", 0, @ScriptDir)
If StringRight($sourceFolder, 1) <> "\" Then $sourceFolder  &= "\"
            

If $sourceFolder <> "\" Then
            

    ;Gather files into an array
    $fileList = _FileListToArray($sourceFolder, "*.jpg", 1)


    ;Loop through array
    For $X = 1 to $fileList[0]
        $val = RunWait("mspaint.exe " & chr(34) & $sourceFolder & $fileList[$x] & chr(34), @WindowsDir, @SW_MAXIMIZE)
        
        Send("+{F12}")      ;shift+F12
        Sleep(1000)
        Send("!{F4}")   ;alt+F4    [close]

EndIf

but can't send shift+F12 [save] and then alt+F4 [close].

what i miss ?

RunWait. This function will run the application and wait for it to end before returning to your script.

You're also missing the Next keyword on the For loop.

I've also never heard of Shift+F12 being save in MSPaint.

Looking for a script like this, but how to improve it ?

I would like to open any image or any directory containing images with the mouse right click and automatically reduce the size of one file or all files in directrory ?

Search Example scripts for Image Resizer and that should give you a good starting point.

Thank you for your answer

Found that :

But this doesn't explain to me how to make the script in this post work with right click ?

You will need to either add context handlers for the file types or compile your script and add a shortcut into SendTo Edited October 25, 2009 by GEOSoft

Come to AutoIt thinking it was easier than vbs scripting, here is my vbs script doing the job very well :

Set wshShell=WScript.CreateObject("wscript.shell")
Set args = Wscript.Arguments

' // wscript.echo "count= " & args.count & VBCRLF & "args[0]= " & args(0)

rc=WshShell.Run("C:\WINDOWS\system32\mspaint.exe " & chr(34) & args(0)& chr(34))
Wscript.Sleep 1500
wshShell.SendKeys "^s"
WshShell.SendKeys ("%{F4}")
Set wshShell=nothing

WScript.Quit(0)

I was looking around for better solution.

What you tell me to do is very complicated to me, i don't have the knowledge to do that, sorry.

Anyway thank you for your advice.
