Mucho thanks once again Skwire, I do believe that this will provide a genuine boost to my productivity. I'll drop you a donation as a token of my appreciation.-deano
You're welcome. I'm happy to help out.
On a technical note would you be able to explain how you did it? Was it all autohotkey or something else? And would you have the source code? As I said way back at the top of this thread I am trying to learn how to create different kinds of programs on Windows and would like to make things like this for other people as well.-deano
The interface is all AutoHotkey. The grunt work behind the scenes is done by convert.exe from the
ImageMagick suite and tiffinfo.exe from the
LibTIFF suite. I use convert.exe to do the rotation and converting from TIFF to JPG (using the "/rotate #" parameter). The tiffinfo.exe I use for determining how many pages are in the TIFF file.
AutoHotkey is superb for making front-ends that utilise commandline executables and/or DLL files. Initially, I had intended to use the GDI+ library to do it all but I couldn't find a way to get the number of pages in a TIFF file using it so I wrote it using IrfanView doing the image manipulation. However, I remembered that you wanted to use this at work and IrfanView's license doesn't allow that without paid registration. I then rewrote it using the current ImageMagick/LibTIFF method, hence the delay in getting it to you.
Does that help clear things up?
