Action on each selected items

[lian00]

Hello,
sorry for noob question but I've read a lot of the help and on the forum and don't know how to do.

I've written a little script with resize an image using Irfanview command line. I select the file, click on the button and it works.

Code: Select all

 $largeur = input("Largeur", "Taille", , [style=s], [cancel], [width=600], [height=400]);
 $script= '"C:\Program Files\IrfanView\i_view32.exe" '." <curitem>"." /resize=("."$largeur".","."$largeur".") /aspectratio /resample /convert=E:\images\Output\"."<curname>";
 run $script;

Now I want to make the same with some selected files. As I understand I must create a list and work on each file from the list but I cannot manage it.

I took a look at get("SelectedItemsPathNames", ,); and paperfolder("Favs", "<get selecteditemspathnames |>", "|", "as");

Thanks for your help.

You "only" need a foreach loop

Code: Select all

foreach($file, "<get SelectedItemsPathNames |>") {
    // the code that will be executed
}

Code: Select all

$largeur = input("Largeur", "Taille", , [style=s], [cancel], [width=600], [height=400]);

The params with a surrounding [] are optional. It makes no sense to write them in that style

Maybe something like this:

Code: Select all

    $largeur = input("Largeur", "Taille");
    foreach($file, "<get SelectedItemsPathNames |>") {
        run """C:\Program Files\IrfanView\i_view32.exe"" ""$file"" /resize=($largeur, $largeur) /aspectratio /resample /convert=""E:\images\Output\""", , 1;
    }

You have to check the quoting in the run command...

Thank you. I managed with your help.

For Irfanview users: as I did not find how to grab the name of the file in the loop, I used

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\IrfanView\i_view32.exe" "$file" /resize=($largeur, $largeur) /aspectratio /resample /convert=""E:\images\Output\$N.jpg

$N is used by Irfanview to get the name of the file converted.

as I did not find how to grab the name of the file in the loop, I used

Code: Select all

/convert=""E:\images\Output\<curname>"""

/convert=""E:\images\Output\<curname>"""

It does not work with curname - I've tested it: it gives the name of the first file in the selection and do not change with the loop.

Try These in place of /convert=""E:\images\Output\<curname>""":

Code: Select all

/convert=""E:\images\Output\".getpathcomponent($file,file).'"'

Code: Select all

/convert=""E:\images\Output\".regexreplace($file, ".+\\").'"'

Thanks for the suggestion but for the moment I will keep $N as it works perfectly but I will remember your code for future scripts.
