PhotoResizer 0.5.1.0 (mini Release)

by bhavikv 6. April 2009 10:02

Hi All,

Going very slow on the development of PhotoResizer, here is a very small release. Actually it has no new features. But now onwards, you don’t need to install PhotoResizer. Its now freely distributable as an standalone EXE. :) – a request that has been pending since long time. The EXE is around 350 KB in size and requires .NET Framework 2.0 to run.

Hope to hear more comments/feedback/feature requests in near future.

New Version of PhotoResizer Coming soon :)

by whihathac 3. December 2008 13:34

Hi,

For the last week, I have been tweaking the (old) release of PhotoResizer to include more features and remove bugs. I have released the version to few of my close friends, and based on their feedback, will release it here on the website. (Well if you are genuinely interested in beta testing the app before I release here, please send me an email :)).

Some of the features in the yet-to-be-released version are:

- Drag and Drop image fieles for selection
- Improved performance (multithreaded to give you better response)
- Bug Fixed: File resizing by pixels
- Setup for PhotoResizer

Haven't included many features, but the features included here were essential.

Hope this version is much stable and proves useful. Keep watching this space for more info.

PS. Previous release are here: http://blog.bhavikvora.com/page/PhotoResizer-Release.aspx
Its pretty old release and I'll recommend you wait till this weekend for the upcoming release.

Thanks,

(batch) PhotoResizer Release

by whihathac 31. January 2008 00:16

Hi,

I am releasing PhotoResizer. The application is a small utility that helps in (batch) resizing of Photos (Jpeg images).

Latest Version: 0.2.0.1 (dont mind the numbers :P)

Change since Last Revision: Click Here

Pre - Requisites:
.NET Framework 2.0

Features:
Select Bulk Images to resize
Resize Image by Pixels or %age
Control Quality of resized Images
Zip the resized Images
Conversion and resizing of bmp and png resizing to jpg
Save and review Log

Known Issues
The Application hangs when it has more than 50 photos (for 512MB RAM). Please make sure you batch the photos. I am working around this issue. If any1 can help me with this, contact me asap. :)

Procedure:
1) If you have any previous versions of PhotoResizer, please uninstall it first with help of Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel.
2) Download the Setup Archive (.zip) from here - PhotoResizer 0.2.0.1.zip (333.10 kb).
3) Extract the files using utility such as WinRar or WinZip.
4) Run the Setup.exe from the folder
5) Start the application from Start-> Programs-> PhotoResizer->PhotoResizer

Terms of Use:
This software is not to be resold. Use the software at your own risk. Please make backup of the images the application will process. I am not responsible for any loss of work or time or pics ;) Please don't use the software in a business environment which has risks of losing critical data.

Screenshot:

For feature requests or reporting bugs, you can mail me at - contactme@bhavikvora.com

Also I need your comments and feedback to understand your needs. I have given just over 5 hours of my time in between the exams (I just love to do it ;)). I hope the software comes into good use as it did for me. There are few kinks in the software, and I am trying to put things in place.

I'll be developing a project page soon for PhotoResizer on CodeBox :).

Regards,

Bhavik

(Batch) PhotoResizer !

by whihathac 5. January 2008 14:50

Hi,

Okay, I just start new Projects and halfway leave them. But here's a project which i just thought of a few hours (2 hrs) ago and got it working, ofcourse from some helf from Coding4Fun.

We'd been to Tithal (Valsad), Gujarat last week to celebrate the New Years' eve and we'd a cuppa of pics which were each 3MB big. We'd thought of manualy resize each pic thru Paint/Photoshop but would have been time consuming. (We did have a lot of time, who wud study SE :P). So i just made up a working App of the PhotoResizer. Here is the screen shot:

Features:

  • Seperate input and output folders
  • only Jpg file support
  • Save Logs
  • Resize by Pixels

Still lot of things to put on before release:

  • Resize by %age
  • more file supports
  • Progress Bar
  • JPEG compression

I'll release the app soon for test after i add these minor features ;)

Well dats all from me, I've gotta start SE or else i am screwed on 8th Jan !

Regards,

Bhavik Vora

Update for CodeBOX

by whihathac 29. December 2007 14:48

Hi,

I am running late in the project, just cant devote some good time. Well this is all I am done with:

  • Membership and Database Design 
  • Project management
  • Release/Download Management
  • User management

Few things(major, time consuming) remaining are:

  • Issue/Task Management
  • License Management
  • and more of which i cant reveal more :P

I already have a wish list readied for the next release of CodeBOX. ;)
I hope the hype surrounding CodeBOX is somewhat relative to Vista, but believe me the release will just be as fantastic.

So seeking in more of time, whilst preparing for 2 damn Univ Exams and a holiday at Tithal, Gujarat with my friends for 31st, Signing off.

UPDATE: Will start work after my Sem Xams ie. 12/01/08

Regards,

Bhavik Vora

another Project !

by whihathac 16. December 2007 11:16

Well, I am quite Impressed by the way CodePlex works (Microsoft's OpenSource .NET project hosting, where BlogEngine.NET is also hosted). Also a friend's site inspired - AXIS Proton. Also off late I spent 'lil time in understanding the concepts of Membership, Roles and Profiles in ASP.NET 2.0. So I wanted to leverage the skills i just learnt into a project.

Project: CodeBOX, nevermind Projects are never without Codes ! (name change required !
Technologies: ASP.NET 2.0 (C#), SQL Server 2000(on server), SQL Server 2005(offsite), ASP.NET AJAX (after completion of project)
Time Frame: Analysis of the project is done, Implementation needed. Time should not be more than 4 working days (3-5 hours/day)
Release: Tentatively scheduled it for 23rd December, 2007 (if i dont go in for a vacn :P) 01/01/08.. da reason is that there is actually no1 tracking me and pressurising me to do da work :( and also GATE and Sem VII taking a big deal of time :(
Team: Finalising a team :P , anytakers? :P  Me alone.

Bhavik Vora

Secret Project unveiled

by whihathac 27. November 2007 11:49

Hi,

This is to formally announce the "secret" project that i wished to do for last couple of weeks. i had thought of this way back when i was trying to develop my CMS, but due to technical website constraints, had to shelve it out. Now that i have enough minimal requirements (except for time constraints Tongue out), following is the announcement of my new project.

"Welcome to the SocioDev Networking. This is a project under development where I aim to create a social network for the developers. Developers are the heart of the IT industry and they have their own ways of working. This place will try to bring in various developers together where in they can share, keep a track of their work, interact with different communities, keep abreast of the latest happenings."

The initial phase of development will yield results bearing close resemblance to a website CMS and will help into my development of my Final Year project. Now you know who will be the 1st testers of my project Laughing. I havent asked any1 to assist me, but i feel working alone will restrict the approach and the imagination.

I am not gonna reveal any of further details, which will just add to the hype surrounding my project. Wink Still you all are free to add/request for features in the project.

Regards,

Bhavik Vora.
