Same

This was purely to see if it needs to be a *.jpeg extension or if its just a way of telling mspaint to update the image.

See thats where im different I want to know why its broken so I can provide a better fix / solution.

That being said, download PhotoResize.exe http://www.rw-designer.com/picture-resize

Rename the executable to PhotoResizeP100IOEQ100.exe

Select all the images & then drag and drop them onto the exe. Note this will re-save the images (overwriting the originals) with the same dimensions its not actually doing anything resize wise, just re-saving them.

If that works for your program then we can look at using a macro and calling the folder to be done via a batch.

No, using the PhotoResize program didn't work. Unless you by chance have knowledge of Autodesk Maya, I don't know if you'll be able to figure out the problem. That's why I'm not worrying about figuring out what's causing it. After 5+ years of having this error, there have only been one or two forums that come up with the solution in Maya. So I don't think that bodes well for figuring out what causes it.

That is because the script JRL wrote is only looking for *.jpg files to re-save as *.jpeg files. Your now talking about a png file.

Is there more than one file type?

There are no PNG files in the folder, which is why it's weird that the error is coming up. I don't know how I can mess up the script between copying and pasting it and pressing execute, but it's possible. All the images in the folder are jpegs.

Don't suppose you could provide an original test image that I can use to script and then I can send it back and you can see if it can be imported.

So are the images coming from AutoDesk or your trying to import them into AutoDesk?

The images are coming from an artist. Autodesk Maya is one of the 3D programs I use at work.

Can you try this one?

I have to head home for the day, but can have a look when I get home.

This will allow you to batch convert images as well, might be another solution if PhotoResize doesn't work for you.

This option worked. I hope it still works when I get to work on Wednesday.

Excellent, If That Did It For You We Should Be Able To Create A Script That Uses That Program And Converts All Images In A Folder.

Sounds like you've about got this resolved but here's another thought. If the files are all desktop size or smaller you could display them individually on a dialog (assuming they will display) then use ScreenCapture> to save them to new jpg files.

This script creates a folder named "New_Image_Folder" in the temp directory and saves the imaged there.

Code: Select all

Dialog>Dialog1
object Dialog1: TForm
  BorderStyle = bsNone
  AutoSize = true
  object MSImage1: tMSImage
    Left = 0
    Top = 0
    AutoSize = true
  end
end
EndDialog>Dialog1

CreateDir>%temp_dir%New_Image_Folder

Let>INPUT_BROWSE=2
InPut>vfolder,Select the folder where the jpgs live.

GetFileList>%vfolder%\*.jpg,vList,;
Separate>vList,;,vFile

Show>Dialog1

Let>kk=0
Repeat>kk
  Add>kk,1
  Let>value=vFile_%kk%
  ExtractFileName>value,vFileName
  ExtractFilePath>value,vPathName
  ExtractFileExt>value,vFileExt
  StringReplace>vFileName,vFileExt,,vFileName
  SetDialogProperty>Dialog1,MSImage1,LoadImage,%vPathName%\%vFileName%.jpg
  Let>WIN_USEHANDLE=1
    ResizeWindow>Dialog1.handle,0,0
    MoveWindow>Dialog1.handle,0,0
    GetWindowSize>Dialog1.handle,WinX,WinY
  Let>WIN_USEHANDLE=1
  ScreenCapture>0,0,WinX,WinY,%temp_dir%New_Image_Folder\%vFileName%.jpg
Until>kk=vFile_Count
