Image Conversion Shell Extension


Plamdi

Recommended Posts

Here's a little shell-extension I made for IrfanView. What it does is allow you to convert between BMP, PNG, GIF, JPG and ICO simply by right clicking said files in windows. You may run the file from the desktop (or anywhere else) to install, and features include being asked if you want to overwrite an existing file, and the ability to uninstall the extension from "Add or Remove Programs" in Control Panel.

Save as I_CONV.VBS

' (c) 2006-2014 aractus.com, this file must not be sold, you may distribute it' freely so long as it remains unmodified with all internal documentation.'' This program is designed for use with IrfanView. It will add or remove' shell extensions for converting between several popular image formats.' If required you could add more to the list.' In no way am I affiliated with IrfanView.'' It should work on any windows system x86/64bit that supports IrfanView. It' Will work with Windows 2000 - Windows 7, I'm unsure about other versions' but it only requires Windows Script Host (WScript) on the system. In theory' it will work on Win9x so long as the Script Host Version supports the script.'' Installation:' 1. Double click on i_conv.vbs to install/uninstall' 2. Run "WScript.exe i_conv.vbs" from a command prompt or the run dialogue.' 3. Run "WScript.exe i_conv.vbs /s" to achieve a silent installation.'' Usage:' Right click a picture with a supported format (by default BMP, PNG, GIF,' JPG and ICO) and click "Convert to XXX" Where XXX is desired type.'' Notes on installation and uninstallation:' i_conv.vbs can be run from anywhere to install so long as IrfanView is' installed. If IrfanView isn't found the script will not install the' extensions, but will uninstall if asked. If IrfanView was not installed' correctly, or if it isn't found automatically with installation simply' copy this file to the IrfanView folder and run from there.'' When this file is run it will automatically place a copy into your' IrfanView folder (where possible), and you can delete any other installation' point as it will not be needed.'' You can uninstall the shell extensions through "Add or Remove Programs" /' "Programs and Features" in Control Panel. Uninstallation will not delete' i_conv.vbs, delete the file manually if required.'' If you prefer you can use /silent instead of /s. Silent installations' suppress error messages if it cannot be installed.'' Other Notes:' This will also write a configuration file for use exclusively with the shell' extensions (JPEG quality, etc). You can modify it at any time. It is put in a' new folder named "i_conv" in the main IrfanView installation folder.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------' Define variables.Option ExplicitOn Error Resume NextDim WshShell,fso,a,f,i,j,o,p,p2,t,u,v,w:w=0Set WshShell=WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")Set fso=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")p=Left(WScript.ScriptFullName,Len(WScript.ScriptFullName)-Len(WScript.ScriptName))If Wscript.Arguments.Count=1 Then  If Wscript.Arguments(0)="REM" Then' This is invoked from "Add or Remove Programs".    v=MsgBox("Are you sure you want to remove the image-conversion shell extensions?",292,"Remove shell extensions confirmation")    If v=7 Then WshShell=Nothing:Wscript.Quit(1)    w=7  ElseIf UCase(Wscript.Arguments(0))="/S" Or UCase(Wscript.Arguments(0))="/SILENT" Then' If We are running a silent install preset variables.    w=6  Else' We have invalid command parameters.    ErrHndlr()  End If' This is the part used for conversion, it's extremely simple - it takes two' variables, one is a file name, the other a file extensions - such as BMP and' JPG, and tells IrfanView to convert file name to file format, after checking' if destination file exists, and if necessary asking the user whether to' overwrite or not.ElseIf Wscript.Arguments.Count=2 Then  t=Wscript.Arguments(0):u=Wscript.Arguments(1)  For i=Len(t) To 2 Step -1    If Mid(t,i,1)="."
