General Discussion / batch process resize help

« on: 2014-11-29 10:40:49 »

Ignore this, I worked it out. I needed two steps

1. resize to width H
2. crop height / centred V

I was trying to do it in one step. Doh!

General Discussion / batch process resize help

« on: 2014-11-29 10:15:33 »

In the past I managed to create a batch process that resized landscape photos to fit my display width then crop equally from the top and bottom of the image so it fitted my display height. Without effecting the image ratio.

I've lost this batch job and cannot, probably due to old age, remember how to recreate it.

Can anyone help please?

My display width is 1366 x 768 and a typical source jpg image is 4000 x 2672

So image must be resized to 1366 wide then equal amounts cropped from top and bottom of image to fit 768.

How can I achieve this?

ThumbsPlus v7-v9 Questions / sorting thumbs

« on: 2014-04-13 12:36:02 »

Thanks Daan,

Been using TP for years and never discovered "Ctrl-Shft-Q" that will help some way.

Turning auto create thumbs off & on would work but is a bit messy but if that's the only way...


"No, 'date created' is not supported by all file systems. ThumbsPlus uses the Date Modified field."

When you say "date created not supported by all file systems" that is true but I thought TP only runs on Windows, so I would have thought it reasonable for TP to be able to also sort by "date created" as it's created when the file is first written regardless of which OS the original file came from? (Perhaps a question for Cerious)

Another thought , could "user Fields" be used in some way perhaps?

Thanks anyway

TP is the best by far!

ThumbsPlus v7-v9 Questions / sorting thumbs

« on: 2014-04-13 10:46:34 »

Hi, I've probably overlooked this but a search on the forum and Google didn't turn up the answer.

When I unzip a series of images the files created on the OS maintain their modified dates. This makes it difficult to find those files unzipped last when sorting by date modified.

In Explorer I can add "date created" and then sort to bring the unzipped files to the top of the listing.

Is there a way to recreate "date created" sort order in TP9?

ThumbsPlus v7-v9 Questions / TP9 3928 - Back folder tree inconsistent behaviour

« on: 2014-02-19 14:38:22 »

This problem is fixed in 3934. Thought I was on the latest release as I pressed "Updated" within TP today and it downloaded new install file and went through the motions.
After posting this message I noticed that others were mentioning a much later release.
So I manually downloaded 3934 which forced me un-install 3928, and that issue is fixed.

So there was something amiss with updating via the program in 3928.

Now, what have you done to "adding external programs" to tool-bars. It's a bit finicky, I had to restart TP 7 times to add 6 shortcuts.

After adding them they do not always appear in "File/Open with" so you can drag them to toobar, even though they are listed in Customize/programs tab(the new tab).
This then forces you to try and remove the external programs in the new tab, but it does not always delete the one highlighted. Real pain in the ****.

It would be really great if external program shortcuts and toolbar customisation was maintained when updating. Especially as we are having to do it so often.

ThumbsPlus v7-v9 Questions / TP9 3934 - Back folder tree inconsistent behaviour

« on: 2014-02-19 13:04:39 »

Recently I took the plunge to go from TP8 to 9 and apart from having to reset up all my custom tool-bars (again) all seems to have gone well. Most of the annoyances in TP8 seem to have been addressed but as yet have not seen much in the way of new features. I've read about some facebook thingy, buts that's not my bag!
Anyway back to the problem, has anyone else had problems using the back button on the location panel? I'm getting inconsistent behaviour and when I press the small grey arrow to the side to view the history, sometimes a folder I had just previously visited is not in the list. Consequently I end up somewhere else in the folder tree, a little annoying, perhaps the guys can fix this for next release?
BTW - Nice to have the forum back, just like the old days.
