Great app! Thank-you. I too am frustrated by the diminished 'right click' options with Vista but am very happy to have stumbled across your site. Cheers and thanks again.

I cannot get this to work in Vista Ultimate 64-bit.  It installs without error but there are no resize options in the right-click menu.  Reboot did not help.

Seth,

Yeah, I should have thought about this. I will look into fixing this in the near future.

This is a really great app and something I've definitely missed in Vista. However there seems to be some kind of problem with Scandinavian letters.

When I try to use the resizer to photos in folders which have Scandinavian letters in their names, such as kesäkuu (june in Finnish) it gives the following error message:

The following files failed to resize: D:\Omat tiedostot\Kuvat\Kes kuu 2007\Pict4563.jpg

It's not a big problem but hopefully something that could be fixed in future releases.

Thanks for a great program nonetheless.

That's right. I am not properly supporting this currently.

I will try to add support soon.

Perfect. Now the BIG mistery is WHY this feature is *not* native on Vista. Big question mark, but thanks a lot for this utlity!

i cannot get the pic to resize to exactly 300 by 300 why? it resized it to 300 by 292 even when i put in the custom 300 by 300. i need this to be exact or the site i'm uploading to wont take it.. please help!

Shahar said:

The picture needs to be of the correct aspect ratio.

This tool does not allow you to do that - you will need to crop the image to the correct ratio before using the tool to do that. Make sure the width and height is the same. then you can use the tool to resize.

In September you said you were going to fix the missing resize options in the right-click menu for Vista x64.  Do you still plan on fixing this?

I was hoping you would have a fix for the issue with Vista x64, any plans on when it will be getting released?

Shahar said:

I still plan on doing it, but am side-tracked with some work stuff and so have very little time to give to it. I will publish it as soon as I make it.

I cant get it to work at all after I install it.

When I run the attached installation it says "Repair" or "Remove"  I just want to install it and use it.

HELP.

Please keep me posted about your work on the 64-bit version!  I really need a program like this for my work.  Thanks so much for developing this!!!

Are the command line options available for this app? I'd really like to call it from vb.

I was wondering if you still need x64 testers, if it helps to complete it quicker, really looking forward to this app.

Derek said:

Great app. I'm so glad you wrote this to make up for my favorite power toy. Is there any way to change the default sizes on the right click menu? I know you can go in and select custom, but it would be really handy if you could give users the ability to change the sizes available from the right click menu. Or at least add 1280 to the options.

Thanks again for the great tool.

I can't set defaults when I choose to overwrite. Other then that it looks a great repalcement for the XP powertoy. But without the overwrite option it's useless to me. Is there a solution? I work with Vista premium.

ted said:

just an fyi.  for some reason when i change the target option to either "overwrite the files" or "other", the set defaults button grays out.

other then that, the program seems to work pretty well ... thank you for giving an alternative to image resizer!

i'm running vista enterprise.

Very cool utility! I like how easy it is to use. My only complaint is the quality of the JPEGs aren't so great after being resized. Do you plan on adding a quality setting?

Great tool, still would like to see a x64 version, have any ETA on when one will be released?

I installed this then saw the no x64 support...  Back to the drawing board for me.

Hey,

I'm wondering if you have forgotten about the x64 version, any ETA yet on when it will be out?

Missing this tool so much on my x64 laptop :-(

Thanks

I am selecting and resizing on my 32 bit but the size doesn't change... does this mean it is not working properly? Thank you! :)

Found this 64 bit solution from a similar blog, works with my Windows Server 2008 64 bit edition, so I guess it should with Vista.

Just run a 32 bit version of Windows Explorer with this command:

%windir%\SysWOW64\explorer.exe /separate, /root, c:

Nice app, better than MS' version I'd say, as it's intelligent enough to work out that an image is portrait or landscape.

I also await the proper 64 version though.
