maybe OT: PowerToy Image Resizer (no multiple resize anymore)

[Guest Chupo]

I've been using the XP PowerToy Image Resizer for a long time and with

no problems. Suddenly, there isn't 'Resize Picutures' option when I

right click on *multiple* pictures, now I can resize only one piture at

a time. I've tried to do repair on Image Resizer but no results.

I'd try uninstalling and reinstalling Image Resizer to see if it helps.

Find two jpg files. Verify that those files are actually jpegs by opening

them. Test with these two.

I did all kind of tests - two, three, 100+ files. Files were .jpg-s

from my Sony camera. The context menu appears only if I select exactly

one .jpg.

 

And everything was OK for more than a year, I was resizig multiple

images almost every day.

I did some additional testings - Everything works just fine with

multiple .png images, but not with .jpg&.gif. That could be the good

starting point.

 

I thing I should search the Registry for the data associated with

right-click context menu (didn't find any Registry setting associatted

with Image Resizer).

Sorry, no idea. PowerToys are not officially supported, AFAIK....I've never

had a problem with one, but I think they are "use at your own risk."

 

You could try a system restore, to a date prior to the problem.

OK, doesn't matter, there're many ways to resize multiple pictures.

Thanks for your help.

 

And, just now, I've discovered another issue, I cannot resize only one

..png (there isn't Resize Pictures option if I select only one .png) but

can resize multiple .png-s, can't resize multiple .gif-s/.jpg-s but can

only one. Very strange :-/

I think that would be too radical solution.

There are many under PhotoResize, PhotoToys, Image Resizer,

ImageResizer etc. (a bit obscure, some of them)

e.g.

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\image\ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers\PhotoResize

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\SystemFileAssociations\image\ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers\PhotoResize

I can find some of these keys but the data is not very edit-friendly,

just hex values. I've tried with Context Menu Editor but it has only

the option to delete the key. And, it doesn't detect any key associated

with Image Resizer (there is one key without the name, it may be that).

 

Very strange is that I can resize only multiple .png-s and only single

..gif/.jpg-s (as described in one of my replies).

OK. I am not sure where to go to from here.

I have all the Registry keys/values added when I installed Image

Resizer. I can play a bit when I have time if it is important to you.

(Not much time in the next few days)

If you want me to continue, summarize what you have done so I don't

have to read through every post. You clip too much for me to follow

easily. (Age brings a short attention span)

 

FWIW, there are no individual keys like .jpg mentioned in the

installation report, only general keys like

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\image\ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers\PhotoResize

No need to bother, it seems High Quality Photo Resizer would be a good

replacement (I haven't tried yet but it looks OK):

I did some system optimization stuff and have a similar problem.

Can not resize jpg but can gif. right click option appears but does

not produce the selections window. Interesting.
