RIOT tool that respects folder hierarchy? (for JPEG compression?)

Hi all,
RIOT:
Fileforum: http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/RIOT-Radical-Image-Optimization-Tool/1242238434/1
HOME PAGE: http://luci.criosweb.ro/riot/


I am currently using RIOT (a program that efficiently optimize images for the Web? ) , but I need a tool that respects folder hierarchy.  RIOT does not currently do that, nor does its plugins.
Anyone have any recommendations that their current program that does?

If you only want to re-compress JPEGs (or strip metadata), you can use my tool PhotoResize.exe http://www.rw-designer.com/picture-resize

Rename it to PhotoResizeP100IRSOEQ85.exe to recursively process all .jpg file in given folder(s) and overwrite the images. Change the 85 to a quality level you want.

I don't want to strip metadata.

Basically, I like the idea of optimizing JPEGs to take up less space.  I couldn't perceive any difference between RIOT-optimized images + regular JPEGs but the size difference in some cases were up to 70%(!!!).

Does your utility do the same thing?

vlastimil:
Well, stripping metadata is quite usual when optimizing images - metadata include EXIF info, color profile, etc. They are relatively useless when the pictures are simply displayed online. But it is your choice.

If you want to keep metadata, rename it to PhotoResizeP100IMRSOEQ85.exe

It is not a specialized "RIOT" tool as you call it, it simply resizes .jpegs, but with P100, the physical size remains the same, and it only re-compresses them. Today's digital cameras usually produce relatively large file with unreasonable compression options, so saving a lot of space with negligible quality loss is possible - experiment with the compression quality.

stisev, what do you mean by "respects folder hierarchy?"
