Fast Image Resizer on Linux Mint 19.1

Re: Fast Image Resizer on Linux Mint 19.1

@shutter, I've taken the opportunity and written an image resizing application for you Linux Mint OS that should hopefully do what you need i.e. resize images using drag and drop.

It's written using Qt so in theory should work OOB for you, but see my email for full instructions.

This is what it looks like showing the result of dragging the two highlighted images on to the UI.

Image Resizer

Hope it helps.

Why not share this more widely - obviously the GUI bits have made it much more complicated than a plain CLI solution.

Re: Fast Image Resizer on Linux Mint 19.1

How about sharing the source code?

Latest update, having made a few tweaks I've just sent this version to @shutter 

Current Version

@VileReynard Will the source code be of any use to you it's written in C++?

Re: Fast Image Resizer on Linux Mint 19.1

I wouldn't really understand C++ - but I could surely compile it, assuming its got standard make instructions and give it a try.

But if it needs some re-packaging etc then I can continue to use standard CLI resizing commands.

Re: Fast Image Resizer on Linux Mint 19.1

That's fair enough @VileReynard but in order to compile it you will need a working (Open Source) installation of Qt with a GCC Toolchain as Qt use a .pro file for it's build process if you're happy with this let me know.

I do have an Installer that I built for @shutter but I'd need your email address (PM'd) if you wanted this as an alternative.

@Anonymous - thanks - but that sounds like a lot of complexity far beyond what I'd be capable of doing!

Thanks anyway.
