I quickly realized these moments were perfect to bring my laptop with me and code.\u00a0One of the first AIR apps I wrote was <a href=\"http:\/\/toki-woki.net\/p\/Shrink-O-Matic\/\">Shrink O\u2019Matic<\/a>, now you know where the name comes from.<\/p>\n<p>It quickly became successful. It now has been downloaded 168,000+ times, a best-seller of sorts. Except it&#8217;s free.<\/p>\n<p>But with success comes feedback, and with feedback comes feature suggestions. Most of them were included through updates, some of them didn&#8217;t make the cut. Probably because of me being lazy or because of AIR&#8217;s limitations.<\/p>\n<p>Then AIR 2 came out, then I learnt Robotlegs&#8230; So I re-wrote it from scratch! Introducing\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/toki-woki.net\/p\/Shrink-O-Matic\/\">Shrink O\u2019Matic 2<\/a>, the same quick and simple app but with more features and a nicer theme.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/toki-woki.net\/p\/Shrink-O-Matic\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Shrink O\u2019Matic 2\" src=\"http:\/\/toki-woki.net\/p\/Shrink-O-Matic\/screen-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"752\" height=\"658\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what&#8217;s fresh off the oven:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Drop folders onto the app: every image in it (or in its sub-folders) will be shrinked.<\/li>\n<li>New &#8220;Rotation&#8221; settings pane: either use a specific angle or let the app read your images&#8217; EXIF data and decide what to do.<\/li>\n<li>Custom name option: choose exactly what the output name will be using your own pattern and injecting the original file&#8217;s name (using $name) and\/or its position in the queue (using $num).<\/li>\n<li>PNG files now keep their transparency when shrinked.<\/li>\n<li>Watermark: watermark your images, even choose where to place the overlay.<\/li>\n<li>Drop files onto the app while it&#8217;s processing, no problemo!<\/li>\n<li>No more dimension limits.<\/li>\n<li>Shiny new theme!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>But! I decided some features had to go. I removed the &#8220;name preview&#8221; that used to be in the status bar. I also removed the ability to drop images from web pages. If you need these features and want them back, make sure to drop a comment and let me know!<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s it, <a href=\"http:\/\/toki-woki.net\/p\/Shrink-O-Matic\/\">go get it<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back in 2008 I would spend some of my\u00a0Saturday\u00a0afternoons sitting in a\u00a0Laundromat, waiting for my clothes to smell good.
