Two items for X6 -- how to?

Post by ehume »

1. I would like to put a line in the main Windows Explorer context menu that says "Open with Corel PaintShop Pro X6 (64-bit)"

I already have an item that says, "Open with Corel PaintShop Pro X4" in my Windows Explorer context menu. Is there a way to replicated that in X6? Or should I put this in the wish list for X7?

2. I would like to build a script that resizes, then exports.

I have frequently resize an image to 800 pixels wide, then export as a jpg file. I know that I can use the kb shortcuts of shift-s, check the current resize, then select my customized kb shortcut to export as a jpg. But I do this so often I would really like to bundle it up and do it all in one go. But I can't seem to find out how to export as part of a script. Again, is there a way to do this in PSPx6? Or should I put this in the wish list for X7?

Thanks.

For 1 do a google search on Context menu editor for Windows 7 and you will locate some information there. If you are comfortable with editing your registry with regedit then you can go directly to the Context menu handler and make changes there. There are numerous helps and youtube videos there that will help as well.
If I had a large number of images to resize to 800 pixels on the longest side I would use a separate program Irfanview.
If you are processing an image and then want to be able to resize that to 800 pixels and save it you would need to set up a script and batch process from the saved images . Is the diference between Export and Save or Save As pertinent to your enquiry?
