Script to process all files in all sub-folders

Post by eggbox »

I have thousands of images and I want to create a resized copy of each in a new tree, is there a way of using scripts to traverse a tree of folders, resize each image and create the new image in a new folder tree? I know this is quite advanced but doing it manually (even with scripts) would take ages.

Thanks in advance.

Yes there is.

A script would have to be placed into the Scripts-Trusted folder for that kind of access. But because PSP uses the Python scripting language there is a lot it can do if you want to take the time to program it.

In fact the script guide provided by Corel includes some sample code for processing files in a folder. And Suz's Place has some great scripting resources. Suzplace.com

Like this one, that demonstrates how to process a whole folder and change the JPG compression value.

Knowledge of how Python accesses folder and filenames is a great place to start.

So PSP scripts are just Python programs, cool, I haven't done any Python in the past so it looks like time to learn something new, thanks for the information.
