Convert jpg to bmp? Modern?

[Strydr]

First, I keep coming across references saying that it's already been asked and answered: and I go to posts that discuss everything except what I'm looking for and they all seem to be from 2007, or earlier,  and seem to be pre-GDI+! 

Basically, after a couple of hours of digging around, I can't find anything that actually works and I'm getting really confused. 

I just want to convert a 32x32 jpg file to a 32x32 bmp file.  That's it.  No re-sizing, no complications, original file is local and the destination is local.  And no external programs: from what I gather, GDI+ should be more than capable of what I need?

Help, please?

Thank you!

ps: to be clear, this is JPG to bmp, NOT bmp to jpg.

 

Edit: it looks like I should be able to use "_GDIPlus_ImageSaveToFileEx" with "$sCLSID = _GDIPlus_EncodersGetCLSID("JPG")"  for:

   $sCLSID = _GDIPlus_EncodersGetCLSID("JPG")

    _GDIPlus_ImageSaveToFileEx($Image.jpg, $Image2.bmp", $sCLSID,)

 

Edit2: Nope.

Hi Strydr,

maybe there are much simpler or a cleaner way of doing it
but this is what i have tried that seems to work 
you can try testing it on from here to suite your needs

$sFilename = ""

_GDIPlus_Startup()
$hBitmap = _GDIPlus_BitmapCreateFromFile($sFilename)
$iWidth = _GDIPlus_ImageGetWidth($hBitmap)
$iHeight = _GDIPlus_ImageGetHeight($hBitmap)
$hBitmap_Resized = _GDIPlus_BitmapCreateFromScan0($iWidth, $iHeight)
$hBMP_Ctxt = _GDIPlus_ImageGetGraphicsContext($hBitmap_Resized)
_GDIPlus_GraphicsSetInterpolationMode($hBMP_Ctxt, $GDIP_INTERPOLATIONMODE_HIGHQUALITYBICUBIC)
_GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawImageRect($hBMP_Ctxt, $hBitmap, 0, 0, $iWidth, $iHeight)
$hHBitmap = _GDIPlus_BitmapCreateDIBFromBitmap($hBitmap_Resized)
$hImage = _GDIPlus_BitmapCreateFromHBITMAP($hHBitmap)
$hClone = _GDIPlus_BitmapCloneArea($hImage, 0, 0, $iWidth, $iHeight, $GDIP_PXF24RGB)
; Save bitmap to file
_GDIPlus_ImageSaveToFile($hClone, @ScriptDir & "\GDIPlus_Image.bmp")
_GDIPlus_ImageDispose($hClone)
_GDIPlus_ImageDispose($hImage)
_GDIPlus_BitmapDispose($hBitmap)
_GDIPlus_BitmapDispose($hBitmap_Resized)
_GDIPlus_GraphicsDispose($hBMP_Ctxt)
_WinAPI_DeleteObject($hHBitmap)
_GDIPlus_Shutdown()

#include <GDIPlus.au3>

_GDIPlus_Startup()
Global Const $hImage_JPG = _GDIPlus_ImageLoadFromFile("MyJPG.jpg")
_GDIPlus_ImageSaveToFile($hImage_JPG, "MyBitmap.bmp")
_GDIPlus_ImageDispose($hImage_JPG)
_GDIPlus_Shutdown()

 

@Deye you can use the built-in function to resize the image -> 

_GDIPlus_ImageResize(), _GDIPlus_ImageScale()

 

[Strydr]

@UEZ Thanks but this is to provide an icon for a "listview" so renaming a jpg to a bmp doesn't work, apparently it needs to be converted.

@Deye I'm not having any luck getting this to work, but thanks.  I'm doing a simple copy and paste, substituting my file names but I get no output file.

Sorry this took me so long to get back to these answers but I was busy tracking down another bug that I introduced while trying to see if these would work.

So, at this point, I'm still looking for an answer: thank you for the help!

[rudi]

Another approach might be to use IrfanView, portable edition, using its powerfull command line option set.

 

Regards, Rudi.

When I want to rename a JPG file to BMP file why should I use GDI+? The example above will load the JPG and convert it automatically to a GDI+ internal bitmap format. _GDIPlus_ImageSaveToFile() will save / convert the loaded JPG file as BMP.

[Strydr]

@UEZ Sorry, I'm new and I know even less about GDI+.  There's a good chance that my testing on this was flawed by my self-introduced bug and then I forgot and assumed that "savetofile" was just a fancy rename function.  Serves me right for assuming.  I will retest properly, thank you!  

 

Nope, still not working.  No output.  Same as the excerpt from Deye.  This indicates that I've got something else wrong.  This is what I pasted: 

Quote

_GDIPlus_Startup()
$hImage_JPG = _GDIPlus_ImageLoadFromFile($32bit_Icons)
_GDIPlus_ImageSaveToFile($hImage_JPG, $32bit_Bmps)
_GDIPlus_ImageDispose($hImage_JPG)
_GDIPlus_Shutdown()

On the assumption that the variables can't be used, I changed it to this:

Quote

_GDIPlus_Startup()
$hImage_JPG = _GDIPlus_ImageLoadFromFile("C:\Users\Phantom\Desktop\SSLoader Project\Icons\32x32\test.jpg")
_GDIPlus_ImageSaveToFile($hImage_JPG, "C:\Users\Phantom\Desktop\SSLoader Project\Icons\32x32\test.bmp")
_GDIPlus_ImageDispose($hImage_JPG)
_GDIPlus_Shutdown()

The file I'm attempting to convert DOES exist however I get NO file output.  What am I missing?!!

This works for me:

#include <GDIPlus.au3>
_GDIPlus_Startup()
 $hImage_JPG = _GDIPlus_ImageLoadFromFile("D:\Test\test.jpg")
 _GDIPlus_ImageSaveToFile($hImage_JPG, "D:\Test\test.bmp")
 _GDIPlus_ImageDispose($hImage_JPG)
 _GDIPlus_Shutdown()

Sure you have write permissions at user Phantom's desktop?

@Strydr:

What is the output in the console window when you run the script?

#include <GDIPlus.au3>

_GDIPlus_Startup()
$hImage_JPG = _GDIPlus_ImageLoadFromFile("C:\Users\Phantom\Desktop\SSLoader Project\Icons\32x32\test.jpg")
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $hImage_JPG = ' & $hImage_JPG & @CRLF & '>Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console
ConsoleWrite(_GDIPlus_ImageSaveToFile($hImage_JPG, "C:\Users\Phantom\Desktop\SSLoader Project\Icons\32x32\test.bmp") & ", error: " & @error & @CRLF)
_GDIPlus_ImageDispose($hImage_JPG)
_GDIPlus_Shutdown()

@ajag  Unfortunately, that didn't help.  However, I've been hoist by that petard before so I've moved my project folder.  No joy.  Even made a "D:\test\test.jpg" to test with.  Thank you, tho.

@UEZ As per Ajag's idea, I've moved my project so I made one modification to your script to point to the new location of the test.jpg.  The program is actually scanning 8 files so the error is repeated 8 times using the test.jpg file:

This seems to indicate that my test file is the problem but I have no idea what this means.  I'll try another test file...

Edit: nope, another jpg renamed to "test" has the same result.  My frustration is indicating that I'm missing something simple but danged if I know what!

Edit2: I'm running a ShellExecute on the jpg to ensure that the path and file are there and accurate: I get my test jpg popping up all 8 times.

Edit3: I'm now running these scripts separately.  No change.  No results.  Console output is:

Error -1 means something went wrong with _GDIPlus_EncodersGetCLSID() function.

Could this be related to 32 vs 64 bit versions of the os and or autoit? After I got a computer able to run windows 10 I get all kinds of trouble. I thought it was because I'm rusty, but ....

Edit: Tried the code. Only modified the paths to be relative.

 

#include <GDIPlus.au3>
_GDIPlus_Startup()
 $hImage_JPG = _GDIPlus_ImageLoadFromFile(".\images\test.jpg")
 _GDIPlus_ImageSaveToFile($hImage_JPG, ".\images\test.bmp")
 _GDIPlus_ImageDispose($hImage_JPG)
 _GDIPlus_Shutdown()

Worked for me. Windows 10. Autoit 3.3.14.5 64 bit version.

@Uten at this point, I'm not ruling anything out, but it doesn't seem to be the issue.  Thank you for the idea, tho!

@UEZ the script runs but I don't like my results, no actual file name or extensions, just hash tags.  And I have no idea what that means!

[UEZ]

It is a bug in an UDF (_WinAPI_WideCharToMultiByte()):

 

Which AutoIt version are you using?

[Strydr]

@UEZ Version 3.3.14.3 of course!  

Updating: I'll let you know!  <fingers, toes and eyes crossed>

 

Eureka!!!  I have an output file!  Now to test it in the program! (at this point, I've kind of forgotten where i was!  LOL)

I join the ranks of people who you have saved!  (I've come across your posts before!)  Thank you more than I can say!!!!

 

It's even working in my program!  Thank you just doesn't seem enough, but Thank You for your patience and your wisdom!!!
