As usual, a very thorough response! Big thanks for this info; - I will look into all of it. More about my task: A friend's wife is a hoarder of pics, and snap-happy as well. Problem is that now she has twice filled up the HDD in her laptop to the point of crashing. She has absolutely 100s of 1000s of pics. I decided to introduce her to an external storage device for all data, leaving the laptop HDD for OS+apps only. So far so good! I replaced the original HDD with an equal size SSD and now recovering all her pics from the old HDD onto a 3.5" x 7200RPM external drive (1TB for now). I found this app... https://www.bricelam.net/ImageResizer/ ..which is working to my liking in that it allows selecting pics in WE and lets me configure output sizes. (Resizes 300+ pics in less than 10 seconds) Problem is that it makes some larger not smaller, even though there's an option setting to not do that. Since I already have a working files explorer app I thought I'd just add one more custom feature that does same. I'm replacing existing files with smaller versions suitable for Web use, (640x480) for both orientations (portrait/landscape). So far, Office Picture Manager is doing the best job but it requires hands-on selection of the specific files (their thumbnails) to resize. Very slow so I'm looking to duplicate what/how that ImageResizer app does. I found stuff to convert BMPs to JPG, and lots of .NET solutions but I'm not looking to add this feature to my C# version of the files explorer app. I already have a recursive routine to drill down thru subfolders so just need/want to pass the filename to be resized along with its new dims. -- Garry Free usenet access at http://www.eternal-september.org Classic VB Users Regroup! comp.lang.basic.visual.misc microsoft.public.vb.general.discussion
