Hello!
I'm using Paint Shop Pro 8.01 (US).

In a specified folder, I need to convert all JPGs into PNGs.

I tried with this script:

def Do(Environment):
# FileSaveAs
App.Do( Environment, 'FileSaveAs', {
'Encoding': {
'PNG': {
'Interlaced': App.Constants.Boolean.false,
'OptimizedPalette': App.Constants.Boolean.true
}
},
'FileFormat': App.Constants.FileFormat.PNG,
'FormatDesc': u'Portable Network Graphics',
'GeneralSettings': {
'ExecutionMode': App.Constants.ExecutionMode.Default,
'AutoActionMode': App.Constants.AutoActionMode.AllAlways
},
'DefaultProperties': []
})

It works for a single image, but, if it's run as a batch process, it gives me this error:

App.Do( Environment, 'FileSaveAs', {
RuntimeError: The file name specified is invalid.

How can I tell PSP to keep the original file name just changing the extension into ".png"?

Thanks!

Unfortunately, the PSP 8 Batch does not offer the option of 24-bit
color with PNG files directly (an oversight that neither Jasc nor
Corel has corrected). Marok will need to specify it in a script.

Marok, the script you showed invokes the paletted version of PNG. I
doubt that is what you want for JPG files, as they are probably
photos. To invoke the 24-bit full-color version, open a file and
record a script while you use the PNG Optimizer to save it that way.

The PSP 8.10 BP runs such a script without error here. Have you
named it correctly in the Script section of the Batch Process
dialog? Have you selected Save Mode = Obey Script?

If it still fails, try updating PSP to the latest version, 8.10.

I think something like this will work in v8
from JascApp import *
import os.path

def ScriptProperties():
return {
'Author': u'',
'Copyright': u'',
'Description': u'',
'Host': u'Paint Shop Pro',
'Host Version': u''
}

def Do(Environment):

False = App.Constants.Boolean.false
True = App.Constants.Boolean.true

ImageInfo = App.Do( Environment, 'ReturnImageInfo' )

FileName, file_type = os.path.splitext( ImageInfo['FileName'] ) #
splits out file type.

# PNG Optimizer
App.Do( Environment, 'PNGOptimizer', {
'TypeOfTransparency':
App.Constants.TransparencyType.NoTransparency,
'Tolerance': 1,
'BoostAmount': 1,
'IncludeWindowsColors': False,
'TypeOfImage': App.Constants.ImageType.TrueColor,
'DitherPercent': 0,
'PaletteType':
App.Constants.ColorSelection.OptimizedOctreePalette,
'FileSubFormat': App.Constants.SubFormat.NonInterlaced,
'BoostSelectedColors': False,
'TransparentArea': App.Constants.Transparency.None,
'FileName': FileName+'.png',
'GeneralSettings': {
'ExecutionMode': App.Constants.ExecutionMode.Default,
'AutoActionMode': App.Constants.AutoActionMode.Match,
}
})

Batch process use the script save option in batch process. Silent checked.

Hi David. I just tried it in 8.10 and it writes 8 bit/ch there, too,
just as you say. Silly me, believing the settings in the options
dialog! Thanks for pointing this out. It will come in handy again,
no doubt.

I tested it in v.8.01 and it works fine, Willy.
