i'm not sure if it's as much a bug as it is a feature that no longer exists in vista.. but even with the latest version of image resizer, there is no right click (FILE) context menu option to resize a photo, it only exists when right clicking a FOLDER, not just one single picture.

Is there any plans to fix this.. does anyone know the registry well enough that i can just add it to the FILE context menu myself?

any help is appreciated.

Hi there,

When you say latest version, you mean v1.0.9 ?

http://www.vso-software.fr/download_...hp?product=vir

Try to re-install it, maybe it didn't register a .DLL properly ?

I sent a message to the author for his comments...

My 2 cents...

yeah i'm using the latest version..

i've tried installing/reinstalling.. all that... it's a vista issue, that many people are having with image resizer, but it shouldn't be hard to correct but i have no idea how to edit the context menu.

Are you using the 32 or 64 bit version of Vista?

32 bit version..

i've tried older versions of image resizer as well as the newest version.. it does not put the option in the file context menu, only the folder menu.

bump... is there a fix for this?

I just tested on a fresh Vista installation (x86) and couldn't reproduce your problem there. The dll was correctly registered for the supported image file types.

that's weird.. because i know others i spoke to on other sites were having the same problem. There is no option for resizer in the right click context menu of an image.. only for a folder.

The shell extension has been modified to be fully Vista compatible.

You can download the latest build here: http://download.vso-software.fr/vso_...etup_1010b.exe

I'm having the same problem here after installing the newest version - 1.0.11.52.

Currently I can only see VSO image resizer in the right click menu for folders.

Is there something I can do to get the right click option for picture files?

I'm using 32 bit Vista Home Premium.

Cheers.

Interesting.

I have the EXACT same problem under Windows XP SP2. Right clicking on a folder will display the VSO option...right clicking on individual image files will not.

I just installed on x64, no Context Menu

This brings back bad memories of when I attempted to pass multiple arguements to a script via Context Menu... As %2 %3 etc.. will not work

You can add the context menu easily using this Reg

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\*\shell\Resize]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\*\shell\Resize\Command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\vso\\Image Resizer\\Resize.exe\" \"%1\" ""



BUT, it will open a seperate instance for each Image.

The other option is you can put a shortcut to VSO Image Resizer in the "Send To" menu.

It is possible to send multiple arguemnts via Context Menu, but it all depends on the Application.

I think someone with enough could try doing it using:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms679679.aspx

If anyone knows how to pass multiple file arguemtns from a Context Menu, without using the "Send To" method, PLEASE msg me, I am very curious to know how it was implemented...

Actually

I just ended up moving


[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ImageResizer.Image\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\ImageResizer]
@="{C6193976-9333-4E73-96BA-7B21CA942187}"

to

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\ImageResizer]
@="{C6193976-9333-4E73-96BA-7B21CA942187}"

Works perfectly now on Vista Ultimate x64

Right click and select multiple files, all passes into one instance of Image Resizer
They already have the functionality in their Context Menu Handler dll

I recently installed VSO Image Resizer and the right click context menu is there. It would appear to be an issue with your system.

Hi,

Lots of Vista bugs were fixed lately.

If you noticed the date of his posts , they were in September 2007, and I think all those issues were fixed after that

I think all those are now fixed, but please keep VSO posted if there's new bugs found
