Resize Image

[dotjay]

For anybody who wants the image file to save as a new file rather than replace the original:

1. Open the "Process image(s)" AppleScript block in the workflow
2. Find this line in the script:

3. save this_image in myPath

   And insert the following to append the image filename with the target width (e.g. image.png becomes image-300.png when resized to 300px width):

   				-- append target width to file name
   				set oldDelim to AppleScript's text item delimiters
   				set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {"."}
   				set theExt to last text item of myPath
   				set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {"." & theExt}
   				set file_path_list to every text item of myPath
   				set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {"-" & target_width & "." & theExt}
   				set myPath to the file_path_list as string
   				set AppleScript's text item delimiters to oldDelim

I needed a workflow that put the resized images into a sub folder of the originals, so made the following amendments.

It can handle multiple file selections within differing directories and place the resize-x folder within the respective directory relative to the original image.

1. Open the "Process image(s)" AppleScript block in the workflow
2. Find the following lines in the downloadable version (Lines 27-28)

   			set myPath to this_file
   		end if

   And insert the following after it that will create a new directory next to the file being resized in the format of 'resize-{resize-width}' (resize-500, resize-1024 for example)

           -- Remove the file name from the end of the path string
           set filePath to characters 1 thru -((offset of "/" in (reverse of items of myPath as string)) + 1) of myPath as text
           set fileName to name of (info for myPath)
           -- Create a full path to the folder that we want.
           set resizeFolderName to ((filePath as text) & "/resize-" & (target_width as text) & "/") as text
   
           -- Check for the resize-x folder and create it if not present
           if folderExists(resizeFolderName) then
   			set outputFolder to resizeFolderName
           else
   			set createThisFolder to POSIX file filePath as alias
   
               tell application "Finder" to make new folder in createThisFolder with properties {name:"resize-" & target_width}
   			set outputFolder to resizeFolderName
           end if

    

3. Change the following line (Originally on line 38, with the addition of the above, its now on line 60)
    

   save this_image in myPath

   to
    

   save this_image in outputFolder & fileName

    

4. Add the following function to the end of the file:
    

   on folderExists(theFolder)
       tell application "Finder"
           try
               set thisFolder to the POSIX path of theFolder
               set thisFolder to (POSIX file thisFolder) as text
               -- set thisFolder to theFolder as alias
               return true
           on error err
               return false
           end try
       end tell
   end folderExists

    

Or, if you want the whole script in one thing, its on a Gist here: https://gist.github.com/danstreeter/23fe01074034832fec09c0b633522559

I get the same issue. Any suggestions?

Seems to be an issue with Image Events under Catalina: https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/124420

These problems appear to be caused by Image Events not having Full Disk Access permissions. Fortunately it's an easy fix.

 

First, launch System Preferences and navigate to the Security and Privacy pane. Click the Privacy tab, scroll down the menu on the left, and click on Full Disk Access. Click the + icon in the right hand box, and navigate to System > Library > Core Services. Select Image Events, and click the Open button.

Great! Thank you very much! Works! 👍

This should be added to the description of the workflow to make it work!

Can't find the core services folder and image event (System > Library > Core Services) in the latest macOS system (10.15.7), is there any new solution? I rely on this workflow a lot, please help… 😭🙏 Thanks very very very much!

It is there! But why are you looking up for ImageEvents.app in Alfred!? 

 

You need to add it to System Preferences → Full Disk Access and click on the + to add it. With this Finder will open

In your screenshot, you’re looking in /Library, not in /System/Library.

Hi does this workflow only work with the same height and width? for example 1080 x 1080? How can change it 1080 x 580 for example?

Your usecase describes cropping but the workflow was build to resize an image. Therefore the answer to your question is no.

 

please also read the usage Description:

 

Usage

Select an image in Finder, open Alfred and enter rimage and enter a value for the target width, e.g. rimage 300. The image will be resized to target width by respecting ratio. Works with .jpg and .png.

[swiggy]

ah, thanks, is there any workflow that u know that will be able to adjust width and height at different values ?

Are you asking if it only works with square images?

[swiggy]

Im looking to resize other than a square image which this seems to only do that. 

[deanishe]

The description says it preserves aspect ratio, so it should work with any image.

[Coffeee]

hello, have error : "fails to obtain item 1 of {}"

Please be more specific rather than simply saying "not working" 

 

* What you were doing when the issue happened
* Whether you were able to replicate it a second time by performing the same action
* Include any screenshots that might help us

* For a workflow, check the workflow debugger for any error messages that could be helpful
* Include the Alfred version & build number you are using (don't say "latest" - you'll find a version number in the Update tab of Alfred's preferences)
* Include your macOS version
 
The clearer the issue report, the more likely and easily we'll be able to help you resolve it.

I'm running Monterey 12.2 and this fix worked for me. Thanks @Acidham, for making this script, I find it very useful! You could probably even update the compatibility matrix on Packal as I can confirm it works in every version up through Monterey, and maybe add the fix in the Usage section for people downloading it the first time so they're not scratching their heads as to why it's not working.

[Acidham]

Thank you @stylophile for the feedback. The stopped using packal. I am not even able to find the workflow because packal search is broken  

Furthermore, packal does not provide checkboxes for newer versions of macos. For me, it looks like that packal is not being maintained anymore :/

Correct. It hasn’t been maintained for a while despite staying up. The official place to share Workflows is this forum. Nonetheless, the effect of Packal was large enough that it continues to be used and get submissions, despite features breaking.
