Re: [mh] Help with photos

[Tom <tom...@gm...>]

I modified the script to use variables in mh.ini
here's the comment I added at the begining of the script
----------
#
#  The parameters it uses are:
#  photo_originals = xxxxxx    <---- This is the location of the original photos
#  photo_dirs = xxxxxx    <---- This is the location where the resized
photos are placed --- photo_index will index images in this location
#
#  This causes MH to pause and the pause time depends on the amount of
images to be resized
#  This should be forked, but I don't know how to do this.. Please
feel free to fork it.

I don't know how to link it to the resulting search screen for photo
which shows the Reindex and Resize options so I added $v_resize_images
= new Voice_Cmd 'Resize images';   so it can be called using

run_voice_cmd 'Resize images'

I'm sure it's not the cleanest way to do it, but it seems to work well.
