Image resizer extended functionality **AND** resized image location/output

[james28909]

Description of the new feature / enhancement

1. the most best awesome thing that would help me would be to allow a user to set an alternate default functionality for image resizing. for instance... it would be nice to be able to set a certain size for the image resizer to be used as default. when a user selects pictures/images, and right clicks them, then selects "Resize pictures", the alternate functionality would be no popup displayed and instead it would just use whatever your default setting is that you select in settings in the powertoys app. this way no user intervention is needed after you create a size and options, then set it as default, then you just right click an image and it resizes it without any extra popups or intervention.

2. the second thing this needs is to allow a user to toggle some setting for "save resized pictures in a sub directory within the current working directory of image resizer. so if i had images in C:\images\an_image.jpeg and selected to resize it, then it would automatically create a subdirectory in C:\images called "Converted - %size" or "Resized - %size" like "C:\images\Resized - 1280x720\an_image.jpeg"

i think if these two things were added, this image resizer would be a complete and final product, atleast in my eyes. i remember the days where i had to use photoshop to do this and you had to do it one by one until i realized you could photoshop them in a batch through ps settings. but having a right click context menu use a default config (so no popups or extra intervention is needed) and then a new directory is made in CWD for any new, resized, images.

Scenario when this would be used?

it would be used when a user needs to resize a plethora of photos or images and didnt want to have to sift through the same directory with multiple copies/sizes. maybe even make the newly created directories name something like "Resized - %size" or something. that way your photos are organized in their own respective folders for each size you needed.

hope it is not to confusing to understand. the main goal is to reduce clicks and any user intervention after it is setup in powertoys image resizer settings. if i need to elaborate then dont hesitate to ask

Supporting information

i work a lot with building transmissions and working on game console and tv hardware/software and am constantly taking a plethora of pictures and send these out to clients to show them problems or certain procedures or whatever the moment calls for. having this added functionality would allow me to easily and seamlessly resize images down to a size that can transfer quickly and also keep everything organized. my computer is starting to look like a crazy person owns it <.< well i might be crazy but thats besides the point XD

Thanks for your suggestions.

1. is a good idea, also a duplicate of [Image Resizer] Explorer shell context submenu #3953
2. is already possible: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/image-resizer#file
   (maybe one day that setting will be moved to the actual window, but can't guarantee as of now)

1. im not referring it to be a cascaded context menu though. i am saying to just set a certain size and options as the default and when you click "resize pictures" it will just resize them without any extra intervention or popups. to me, there is no need for any extra expanded menus in the context menu or any popups. just need a default behavior that does not include a popup window or extra cascaded context menus.

2. all the resizer needs to do is create a folder in CWD that is called "resized" or something liek that andput resized images there while preserve original filenames. no need to over think it :)

1. Ah okay, I've seen other issues with the same question. Personally, I think having only one possibility in the menu is more of a limitation.
2. I don't understand. With the right text in this setting, you can create what you describe, at least you can create a (sub)folder and set parameters for the file names.

I'd like to add to number 1. It would be very handy if this could be mapped to a shortcode so you don't even need to open the context menu.

I've got a touch screen (Lenovo Yoga Book 9i) and find it a pain sometimes getting the context menu up. I either have to hold until the context menu opens or spend extra time getting the trackpad up to right click.

What is always right there is the keyboard, and I know a lot of people like to keep their hands on the keyboard as well, so a shortcode for this may be well received.
