Hello

I just discovered your program which works very well in general - thank you very much.
I am using the portable version 4.7.1.1 - for the moment unlicensed until I am sure it works well for me.
Until now I used another program to resize sets of files, but I now needed to resize a complete folder hierarchy which it doesn't handle.

The outline:
Windows XP SP3 Pro
Pentium IV 3 GHz, 2 GB memory.
I processor thread used (anyway the only choice is "Auto")
Source and destination are on different partitions on different disks
(250 GB SATA and 70GB SCSI)

I resized (nothing else) 212 files JPEG (typical size 7 MB) to 1024x768 (typical size less than 1MB).
The results are fine, but 37 images were skipped:
"#1 Error loading ..."
There is no difference between these and the others which worked OK (except of course the name!).
Ofetn the same camera, always the same format (JPEG saved by the same programme)...

Any ideas?

Thanks, regards

Hi,

I noticed that the portable version was kind of outdated, and just updated it: ResizerPortable.zip

Please try if the issue is still happening with this version.

Thank you Phil for your very quick reply - I'mm sorry to have taken so long myself (other problems).

I installed the new version but it didbn't make any difference.
Exactly the same files are refused.

So I tried them individually - and they are still rejected.
I'm trying to see what is different about them - but I haven't yet found the difference (I'm a programmer myself).
- same format (JPEG -> JPEG): only size change.
- taken with the same camera within minutes and processed with the same pre-treatment program.
- same resolution and about the same file size
- tried using different disks
- not much difference in EXIF info.

Will keep trying and post any useful info.
Regards

Hm, that's odd... if you don't mind sharing some of the images, feel free to send them: philipp [at] obviousidea [dot] com
