Many people ask about batch support. Although there are good programs for doing batches (IrfanView for example), many users want this in RIOT.
Originally the program was designed to work interactivelly, but with enough requests I may decide to add batch support.
I just need suggestions on how to implement it. I was thinking about creating a batch mode with all options enabled, a list for adding files and a dialog with advanced options such as compress to size, rotate, flip and maybe crop.
I think it's a bit too early for this. And it's quite a job.
As with IrfanView, the batch dialog must have all functions represented there as well.
So I think, if more basic image processing is introduced, like also rotate, flip and maybe crop, these functions must be tested first.
A batch mode would be a great addition to RIOT. It definitely would give it an edge over other such programs, and be quite convenient when working on great quantities of images destined for the web. While the current method of working in RIOT is fantastic for tweaking select images, it is still a chore to process a whole gallery or set. I strongly support such a feature, and would also enjoy a companion set of command line options.
Thank you for RIOT!
I am happy to inform you that batch support is planned for the future version (0.4)
But I will need at least a few months to complete it.
