Is there a way to apply the lossless rotation and losslessly save the result?

Thanks in advance.

does Patch use any kind of intermediate images between all single steps? If so, what kind of file format is used?

So, to say it the other way round: If the input file is an JPEG, will every single action produce a new JPEG with all its quality loss?

is it possible to split an image into two? So I would like to resize a batch of images to one size and then save this images as two parts one for the left half and one for the right halft.
It can be done by running three different scripts: the first one does the resizing, the other ones are croping the canvas using left and right align.
But:can this be done unsing only one script?

I have created a simple phatch action list like this:
- resize (to 1024x1024 keeping proportion)
- save (to _phatch folder)

It works but it seems that some EXIF metadata is not copied from the initial file to the processed one. In particular the "Exif.Canon.0x0095" one which I use to access to the Lens information (obviously on a Canon camera).

Is this a normal behaviour?

I'm using Debian squeeze version 0.2.7, and I have the same problem when reading the tags with the phatch Inspector or another tool (geeqie for example).

ps : phatch is a nice tool, thanks for the job done.

I just installed opensuse Phatch in and nothing happens when I run
I find the following line when I run from the console:

 surcouf@linux-r7nt:~> phatch Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/phatch", line 10, in <module> import phatch File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/phatch/__init__.py", line 25, in <module> init_config_paths() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/phatch/core/config.py", line 225, in init_config_paths from lib.fonts import set_font_cache File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/phatch/lib/fonts.py", line 53, in <module> sys.exit(_('Please install "%s" first.') % 'locate') NameError: name '_' is not defined 

Does anyone see what's going on?

I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 Phatch 27.2

Has anyone else had this happen? Is there a fix for it?

Thank you,

I've not run into this on Linux, so wondering if I botched something with the install…

thanks

 phatch -cv resize.phatch "/path/to/folder name" 

thanks

Selecting only 1 pixel cutted from the bottom I get cutted a line of 2 pixel from the height and a line of 1 pixel cutted from the width! I don't know why this happens???

I need to cut images from 642x480 pixel to 640x480 pixel: how can i do?

Thanks!

After different troubles (forgot to restart Windows after setting path environmental variable and had problems with phatch starting from batch file: "Error 6 Handle invalid") I got my first picture converted. But Irfan says my file has no compression. The size is actually about 1M. With Irfan's CCITT Fax 4 it is about 80K.

What did I do wrong?

I use Phatch 0.2.7 with Python 2.5 (Dependencies py25 package) in Windows XP SP3.

I also wonder how to get/install exiftran if I want to apply lossless rotation for windows. I didn't find any Windows binaries. Phatch says: "you need to install 'exiftran' first".

And how do I get rid of the three windows confirming "Drag & Drop", "File Manager" and "Ready!" (with "Show log" etc.) (or similar, translating from german) to get batch actions without any queries? :)

Phatch seems to be very promising as GUI besides command lines of ImageMagick et al. Thanks for Your work.

I am sure what I am creating has been done before and not a fan of reinventing the wheel. Plus nice to see what others are doing with it.

I am unsure if this is a good place to ask for assistance, but I am having difficulties running Phatch.
In fact, at the moment Phatch does not run anymore at all. The application is there, under Graphics, however when clicked, the hourglass shows for about a minute, then disappears and nothing happens. One day it just stopped running.

I checked in System Monitor and see no Phatch process.
I have tried un-installing it, then re-installing, both through the Ubuntu Software Center, and through the Phatch website, getting the Debian packet, and nothing gives.
Now I resize my pictures one by one with Gimp… no more batch conversions :-(

Could you offer any help?
I am relatively new to Ubuntu; have Karmic Koala.
If you need some more info to start troubleshooting, please let me know.

Thank you, I appreciate the potential help.
