Feature request: Automatic image resizer
« on: June 15, 2009, 07:20:34 PM »
I love rightload, have been using it for a long time now.

I recently changed from Windows XP to XP X64 bit. In the 32bit version Microsoft released the "power toys" and in that was a real simple and effective image resizer. But i don't have that now and i can't find a good replacement ether.

So I was thinking, the only reason I ever resize a picture is when I am uploading it. So why not have an option to have rightload automatically resize the picture while uploading? 1 click resize/upload, can’t beat that!

I'm actually working on this right now, but there are some small problems I need to solve before it can be added.

It's included in version 1.8, which is already available on the website. :)

Just downloaded it! That is GREAT!

The resizer is very good and makes a very nice resized image with little loss of quality.

Good job!

FYI, the contex menus don't work in Windows XP X64 but not a big deal, send to still works fine.

There should be an alternative context menu for 64 bit systems that you can select during the installation. Or does that one not work either?

Tried that one, didn't work for me.

Yeah.. Resize option is really nice, but hidding it deeply in Options (and only one resize dimension set) is not good idea. Sometimes I need upload some resized pics (for forums), sometimes I want to send pics without resize. Each time I have to change that in RL settings, it is not so handy.

I thing that resize option should be available on main Rightload window (combobox with some presets defined in options or something similar).

Good idea, I added it to the main window for the next version.
