- Very interesting freeware, but some problems to be fixed
Congratulations and thanks for a contributing a freeware, but I found the app too limiting in its current instantiation. Please update it! ;O)
I stumbled upon this program while looking for an application that would let me batch process a folder of pictures and resize them with a maximum size for web publishing, i.e., I don't care the exact size of the pictures, but they should not exceed a particular amount of pixels in any dimension.
It looked at first like the perfect app for this, but I found it unusable for my purpose (as of version 1.10, build 102 -or is it 103?)
- Why is the setting "Maximal picture width or height when printing" topping off at 556 pixels? I wanted to set it at 1500 pixels, but putting anything larger than 556 is not allowed by the program. Why put in such a limitation, and why a value as small at 556 pixels, I wouldn't mind so much if the limit was at 5000 pixels for instance.
And that setting should be called "Maximal picture width or height when writing to disk", not "...when printing".
Another problem:
The program constantly complains with dialog box "MacPrefsGizmoPictResize.txt: File not found", although I installed the program as instructed by copying the whole folder from the mounted dmg onto my Applications folder
Last, the 'about' box says "Version 1.1.0 build 102" while the main window is titted "Version 1.1.0 build(103)". Which is it? I guess the about box is correct.
Note: Tested this program under Leopard 10.5.6 (up to date as of 15-Feb-2009) on an iMac with 4Gb RAM.
I rate this program as "Recommend", but that is assuming it gets updated to make it actually usable, currently it's not because of the limit in the maximum size setting...
