@ MILKO: It was entered to the TPFC-database in January, 2007 ... so I won't call it a "new" program.
Maybe it's new to you ;)

I've been using the FS Image viewer for some time and it is a very useful app that I use all the time, I hope to get the same usefulness from this new program.Thanks for the hard work.

v3.2
Nobody thought of File Blender! http://www.portablefreeware.com/launch.php?id=2026
Which DOES resize and DOES preserve the original format of each file (since it uses irfanview components), so basically it DOES what I need!
I even had it on my system and never thought of using it... I am such a moron!
(non need to add comments like "I second that"... Referring to the "moron part"... lol)

@ Amy: I suspect that you are missing the point, mate ;)
My previous posts were about (the lack of) the "Keep Original Format" option and not about (the lack of) the "Keep Original File" option.
In other words I do not want that during the resize/rename process my png, jpg, bmp, gif (etc.) files get ALL converted into .jpg files.
In the previous line (just above this one) ".jpg" is merely mentioned to indicate ONE single format (i.e. "jpg" could be just as well "bmp" or any other format/extension).
Bottom line: This is not about keeping (a backup of) the original files with their (original) size and name*** but rather about preventing that the file format/extension of all the processed file gets arbitrarily modified and converted into one single format/extension.
I hope all misunderstandings have now been cleared
***(that is obviously also very important but I am unaware of programs which do not include that very essential feature)

@spicydog to clarify re shopping around, I meant look at each software option in case there are ones where the batch resizing tool deletes or overrides the original images. Apologies for any confusion, hopefully this clears it up.
V3.1
RIOT plugin: http://luci.criosweb.ro/riot/
V3.1
The best software is:
1. Irfanview with the RIOT-plugin (not everyone has detected 'save for web' option). Batch size --> 1/10 or 1/20 with no loss in quality (slowest option)
2. DB sizer is also quite good. It has a sharpning that is actually quite good.
V3.1
@ Ruby = Thanks pal, I know XnView ;)
What I did not understand was the comment by Amy Bradney-George ("my suggestion would be to shop around a bit more, it's terrible losing the originals (or going to much more effort to work around the software)")
Probably you missed the "@ Amy Bradney-George" on the 1st line of my post :)
