I decided to just add SC SaveThumb(), and then let you scriptors do all the magic then possible. I personally would like to order an HTML photo album with photo data along with the thumbs, just like in Tiles view.

Just created this beauty. Works like a charm. If you have anything to say (ideas...) do so now. (upload tonight)

EDIT: sizing by percentage might be an idea...

Code: Select all

    + Scripting got a new function.
      Name: SaveThumb
      Action: Saves the thumbnail of a file to a file.
      Syntax: savethumb(file="<curitem>, thumbnail_file="*_thumb", _
                        widthbox=500, heightbox=500, format="jpg")
        file:           [optional] The name of the source file.
                        If omitted a list of sections is returned.
                        Defaults to the current list item.
        thumbnail_file: [optional] The name of the target file.
                        Defaults to "*_thumb" (see remarks).
                        The path is resolved relative to the path of >file<.
                        The extension is set to >format< if missing.
        widthbox:       [optional] The width of the thumbnail's bounding box.
                        Defaults to 500.
        heightbox:      [optional] The height of the thumbnail's bounding box.
                        Defaults to 500.
        format:         [optional] Format of the thumbnail file.
                        Can be one of the following:
                          jpg, png, gif, bmp, tif
                        Defaults to "jpg".
        return:         The full path/name of the saved thumbnail file.
      Remarks:
        - The thumbnail_file argument supports a couple of variables:
          <width>     = actual thumbnail width
          <height>    = actual thumbnail height
          <widthbox>  = bounding box width
          <heightbox> = bounding box height
          *           = base name of the source image file
        - If the original is smaller than the bounding box it is NOT stretched.
        - If a file of the same name exists it is overwritten without asking.
        - If no thumbnail can be created from >file< the function raises an error.
      Examples:
        echo savethumb(); //creates autonamed JPG 500x500
        echo savethumb(, "*-<width>x<height>", 400, 400, "jpg");
        echo savethumb("E:\Test.pdf", , 400, 500, "png"); //creates E:\Test_thumb.png

What about a little drop-shade ala OS X?

A drop shade saved in a file?

Sorry, got my wires crossed. It's a Friday and not enough It was a reference to this...

Code: Select all

v15.00.0402 - 2015-04-17 10:31
    + Floating Preview: Being a sucker for white borders on photos I did myself 
      a favor and added the option to show them to the Floating Preview. It's in 
      the extended context menu of the FP: Ctrl+RightClick | White Border.
      I chose some factory defaults to my own likings (width of the border is 8% 
      of the smaller image dimension; a small shadow is shown). You can tweak 
      them here:
        FPWhiteBorderPercent=8
        FPWhiteBorderShadow=1
      Enjoy! :)

Just created this beauty. Works like a charm. If you have anything to say (ideas...) do so now.

Tried it and like it - very cool. Is there anyway to use your new SC savethumb to save thumbnails on multiple files? For example, using the same file names with an add-on like "_thumb" as in "Ibiza Balearic Islands_thumb.jpg" with the same or different extension. It might be nice for the SC to accept a separated list where we could specify the default modification to the filename and extension. If not we can use loops (ie., foreach) on selected or filtered image files.
Thanks,
Ken

I think I prefer you use you own loops. Looks cleaner to me.

No problem Don. Thanks.
