- Description
- ~~~~~~~~~~~
- Batchconverter is an AREXX script (Lame icon included) that allows you to use
- ADPro 2.5+ to batch process a directory full of pictures, converting
- them all to a single type. The program will accept whatever formats ADPro
- recognizes, (Lots), and gives the user a choice of IFF, GIF, or JPEG outputs.
- Once the program is started from the shell or by clicking on the icon,
- all user input is obtained through requesters.
-
- For writing IFF pictures, the user can choose the number of colors,
- interlaced or not, and in the case of HAM output, whether to shrink the
- pictures in half horizontally.
-
- If JPEG output is selected, the user is prompted to enter the "Quality"
- setting, (1-1000), which determines the final quality/size of the
- finished pictures.
-
- For GIF output, the pictures are automatically rendered in 256 colors.
-
- I've tried to make this program give plenty of feedback in case of error
- conditions, and suggestions in the docs in case of problems.
