Why "image.jpg"? Squeezebox Server recognizes cover.jpg and folder.jpg by default. I do something similar, but use FastStone Image Viewer, which is mostly an image viewer, with some common image editing features added. Pretty lightweight, so it launches quickly and resizing, cropping, and adjusting things like contrast and brightness are easy. I'd seriously reconsider resizing to 300x300 unless you need those images to be loaded onto a portable with very little memory. Even if you're embedding them into MP3 files, a 200kB image is a fraction of a 5MB MP3 file. Displays are only going to get larger and higher in resolution, so I'd consider 500x500 or 600x600 to be a minimum. > Easy enough but a bit labourious.

If you need to tweak brightness or contrast, or need to crop, say, a 625x600 pixel image down to 600x600, then you can't do that with an automated script. -- JJZolx ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90401 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
