The Advanced settings link will pop up another dialog box that will let you set things like the following.
- JPEG Quality Level
- Custom default sizes (edit or replace the Small, Medium, Large, etc. options)
- Resized image filename
- Disable copying of metadata
- Disable check for updates
- Disable usage reporting
After clicking Resize, it will go to a progress page while your pictures are resized. I intend to make the resize process multi-threaded so if you have more than one CPU, you should notice some good speed improvements for those large resize jobs.
When the resize is completed, a summary page will be displayed letting you know of any errors or warnings that occurred during the resize.
I am about a week or two away form releasing a preview of the new version. That preview will include all the functionality of the current version, plus a handful of the more basic features:
- Resize units (Pixels, Percent, Inches, and Centimeters)
- Resize to a specific folder
- Put replaced images in the Recycle Bin
And of course, the things that caused me to rewrite a version 3 in the first place:
- Sexy new UI
- Progress bar
- Resize using WIC (instead of GDI+)
- More metadata is copied
- Any WIC driver/codec is supported
- Animated GIFs can be resized
- Multi-page TIFFs too
- Multi-threaded resizing
Oh, a few more goals that I have for version 3 that didn't get mentioned:
- Documentation
- Screencasts
- Re-branding
- Evangalizm
- Youtube screencasts
- Facebook page
- Twitter hashtag
- Translations to other languages
- A single setup (for all of 32 and 64 bit, English and non-English versions alike)
