Resize Image In Context Menu

In my last post, I write an article about using gimp script to generate the watermark on images. At last I add the watermark command on the context menu. Today I will introduce another useful script: resize.

The script I changed come from http://www.adp-gmbh.ch/misc/tools/script_fu/, the author also collect many useful gimp scripts.  The changed script ‘rs-resize.scm’ is here:

(define (script-fu-rs-resize filename new-width new-height)
  (let* ((image    (car (gimp-file-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE filename filename)))
         (drawable (car (gimp-image-active-drawable image)))
        )
 
     (gimp-image-scale image new-width new-height)
     (gimp-file-save   RUN-NONINTERACTIVE image drawable filename filename)
  )
)

You should copy it into “D:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\share\gimp\2.0\scripts”(If your GIMP installed at D:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0 ), then we write the bat file ‘rs-resize.bat’:

set str=%1
set str=%str:\=/%
"D:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\bin\gimp-2.6.exe" -i --verbose -b "(script-fu-rs-resize \"%str%\" 200 120)" -b "(gimp-quit 0)"

The ‘200′ is the width, and the ‘120′ is the height. I use this size because my blog needs this size. Then we should add this bat into context menu , so you can write an ‘rs-resize.reg’, and run it.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\*\shell\RSGimpResize]
@="Shrink to 200*120"
 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\*\shell\RSGimpResize\command]
@="F:\\rocksun\\gimp-script\\rs-resize\\rs-resize.bat \"%1\""

Of course, you should edit the menu name ‘Shrink to 200*120′ according to your content. This picture below is resized and added a watermarks. It looks not good, but you can make better after change the font and size.
