OT: Automated resizing of images ?
 

I need to convert a load of 512x512 sized images into 128x128. Anyone knows about a automated method/tool to do so ?

Maybe Gimp?

IrfanView can do that... hmm, converting SE5 portraits to SE4 size? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: OT: Automated resizing of images ?
 

Irfan view does a great job of it. I've got a script that runs on the PBW server using irfan view which resizes, crops, and changes the flag bitmaps to jpegs and sticks them in the image folder for the game page previews.

Yeah got. Its really good, you can as well rename the batch and or extensions or something. Thanks.

I prefer Python's PIL library myself. Less overhead, less hassle with Irfanview's bizarre interface and interpretation of settings.. This little script helps me prepare shipsets for posting in the SEnet shipyards. I didn't have to do any resizing, but you can find info on how to do that here.

(bloody code tag sucks... stupid extra line breaks)
