Can anyone suggest a way to quickly resize a folder of photos using PI? I have versions 10 & 11.
All I want to do is select a folder of photos and run a batch routine on that folder that will change the size of each image, either by a percentage or a specific pixel size. So far I can only see a way of doing it individually by loading the image and resizing it, then saving it again, is there a way of doing this in bulk?
Thanks!

Are you trying to use the "smart download" feature for that? Could have saved yourself the trouble. Nobody really knows what's wrong with it but, more often than not it doesn't work. Especially if you try to download the lot in one hit.
Could have saved yourself a lot of agrevation by searching this forum for "Smart Download" problems.

I don't even have PI11 and I was able to download the User Manual from this page, http://www.ulead.com/pi/documents.htm.
If you can't download the necessary components for PIv11 via Smart Download, you can download them on this page, http://www.ulead.com/pi/esd.htm
(Heinz-you think they had their tongue firmly planted in their cheek when they named this utility?
LOL )
Sometimes I wonder the same thing
maybe, from where they are standing it looks smart 
. In all earnest though, when it works, and it does for some, it really is smart (I have been told , it doesn't work for me either)

If you are getting timeouts, then try using an FTP program. I'm at work right now, so can't get the FTP url to you. Perhaps someone else can post it here for you. Otherwise, maybe try a download utility other than what Windohs provides.

How do you connect to the internet? Dial up? It could be that your ISP is cutting you off after a certain duration. Many ISP servers do not recognise that you are downloading from another server and assume your connection is dormant. Don't know how this happens but I had a lot of problems like that with my previous provider. Magically, after changing the ISP, that problem does not occour anymore. Figure that.
Did you head over to the PIRC site? I would recommend the beginners workshop to you, it's free and, after the first initial lessons, where you learn the basics, is anything but a "beginners" workshop. I did it recently and learned a lot about the program that I would otherwise not have discovered. It's worth the effort.

re: batch resizing of multiple photos
I'd recommend using Ulead Photo Explorer for resizing multiple files.
1. Select all the pictures you want to reduce.
2. Press "Ctrl + K" or go to "Tools --> Convert Image Files"
3. Check/enable the option "Resample image size to".
4. Set the percentage you want to reduce your picture to.
5. Make sure to set "Create new files" under "Destination" so you'll have a backup of the original files.
6. Enter a suffix to establish the naming of your files.
7. Click ok.
