Resize Image in Image Tools

description

There could be a new icon in the Image Tools. This icon would resize a selected image (or several ones) to 25% - 33% - 50% - 66% - 75%
 
A checkbox next to this button would enable or disable the creation of a new file for this task.
 
If checkbox disabled, the resize tast would affect the current selected file.
If checkbox enabled, a new file would be created. This would prevent to alter the original image file.

This can definitely be added. I will implement that when I get the chance. :)

There would be an actual Resize window that users would go through though because some people may want different percentages other than 33 ,50, 66, and 75, and because they might want a specific pixel height/width instead...

The resize option would take after the Resizing tool I made for an old image editor two years ago.

I mentioned it in another issue post, but I have my own code.

I plan on adding this in sometime soon. Part of the code is already there. We just need to add the window.

My comments about the build 92058 :

Congratulations for this really good implementation of the Resize tool.
  1. I can't edit the width and height values in the two input fields (but I am sure you already know this problem)
  2. I still think the big Resize button could have a drop-down menu with percentages :

    No ? hmm.. ok nevermind :-)
  3. After resizing a file, it creates a new resized version of that file but when I try to delete this second file, a message appears, explaining me that it's currently in use (and even after restarting Better Explorer).
Note that it's possible to delete the file in Windows 7 Explorer.
  1. It could be useful to have, on the small Resize Tool wizard window, a button to Constrain proportions / constrain aspect ratio.

  1. Have you planned to align the input fields ?
    I know it's a really minor GUI issue but ... details matter :-)

I am glad you like it. :)

1 and 5. These "input" fields are not supposed to be edited (they're not really "input" fields, which is why they are grey), but you are supposed to be able to select the numbers in them, which you currently cannot. I will be re-doing that part and it will also fix the alignment issue (I tried to fix it, but my fix didn't work. :P ) (In the future, I might look into making them editable, and allowing resizing from there...)
  1. I thought about it, and in the future, what I can do is make a menu and you can add on the percentages you want to add, rather than having a fixed list. That would be further in the future though.
  2. I am aware of this issue. I tried to fix it, and it seems to have worked occasionally, but I will continue to look into it.
  3. This would be a nice feature to have, I know... and I will be taking a look into doing that in the future...
