feature request

Hello,

I really, really, really, really like this nice little tool!
I use it inside a little batch script, only containing this program.

What do I use it for?
I have (at this moment) ca. 15000 pictures on my computer, all nicely stored in subfolders. Most of the pictures are 5 and 10 megapixels. The 10Mp is too large to display on my HD TV (1080p), over my mediacenter.
So, I use PhotoResizer to adjust my complete collection of pictures to the 1080p size (1920*1080 pixels), including all subdirectories, and write them to another HD that can be accessed by the media center.
CODE:
PhotoResizeF1920x1800R.exe -s "-cD:\Resized Images\<PATH><NAME>.jpg" "C:\MyImgs"

This works perfect!

But, here we are with the feature request: If I want to update my resized collection, I need to overwrite evterything everytime. It should be very interesting to have a new switch: "skip if file exists (in the target folder)"
I think this would make my resize-action much faster!

Thanks!

Hi McJe,

thanks for the suggestion. The scenario you describe and the proposed solution makes sense, I'll include that feature in next version.

Any idea when a new version is expected?

Thanks!

That feature was added in the last version and it is currently available.
