Emerich Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Hello everyone. I am working on a project that requires me to convert a huge load of .png and .jpg files into .dds files (or alternatively .tif) Certainly, this works perfectly fine if i do them one by one. After the 10th this turns out to be rather depressingly monotonous. I was wondering if there is a way to do this to 100s of images in a quick automated process. Paint.net is capable of doing it infinitely, so I am hoping you smart people here know a good way to do that quickly. The default settings work fine, too. ( I know some coding, too, if that is necessary. ) Also I found some tools that were supposed to do this, sadly none worked the way I wanted. I couldn't find anything on the search function, so if I missed a topic I apologize. Also kudos to the developers. Paint.net is incredibly awesome.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Paint.Net doesn't support batch processing. Your best bet is to have a look at IrfranView http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IrfanView.

Emerich Posted November 24, 2010 Author Share Posted November 24, 2010 (edited) Thank you! Sadly IrfanView does not support saving to the dds Format. I don't suppose there would be a way to write a plugin for Paint.net that allows converting many files? Considering the source has the functionality, that should be possible, right? I'd like to write something useful =) Edited November 24, 2010 by Emerich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarkut Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Good thought. The Layer Saver app has DDS as one of its Image formats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
