I started a new project, comments are welcome.

I like this. In concept at least. I'm having difficulty. I run the script, choose a photo, go through the options, and after I enter a selection for mode, nothing happens. I'm not sure if I'm missing something, and I am fairly new to Python so that is possible, but if I am, I haven't figured it out yet. It is a good idea for a script though.

Hi the_buch

1.) Are you running the camera_roll_resize.py script?<br>
2.) Nothing happens mean you can't see the line "Picture is in process...", can you?<br>
3.) Please post the complete script output.<br>
4.) Which version of pythonista have you installed?

[the_buch]

The most recent version. I downloaded it a couple weeks ago. And yes, camera_roll_resize.py. There is no output after mode: 0. Like I said, I may have missed something, so perhaps it takes a long time on my ipad for some reason, but I let it sit a few minutes, maybe three, and nothing still. I'll look at it again here in a few when I get finished with what I'm doing, and follow up. Thanks for the speedy response.

For a quick check you could try this script:
https://github.com/humberry/scene-tutorial/blob/master/intermediate001-1.py

The script only open a photo from the camera roll and shows it.

Sorry for the delayed response. I found a similar, though much less featured, script that took a photo from clipboard and resized it to an already specified size. Looking at your script, I implemented implemented the photo picker and got it to save the photo, so I know that aspect of it is working on my iPad. It just seems to do nothing past the mode selection. However, I tried yours a few more times last night. For consistency, I tried the same photo, with the same options down to mode And I only got it go complete once, on black and white. Here is basically just how it looks every time:

For consistency, I tried the same photo, with the same options down to mode And I only got it go complete once, on black and white. Though other tries with that weren't successful. Here is basically just how it looks every time:

Picture-Information: resolution = 1936 x 2592 (5.0 MP), mode = RGBA

!!! Changing the resolution is time-consuming !!! Resolution higher 6000 x 4000 (24MP) can cause an abend!

0 = Auto processing (Resolution = 1936 x 2592), quality = 95%, mode = RGBA
1 = Same resolution (1936 x 2592)
2 = Define resolution
3 = 3MP (2048 x 1536)
5 = 5MP (2592 x 1936)
Resolution: 2

Changing the ratio causes picture deformation!
Width: 500
Height [Enter = 669]:500

Quality (0 - 100): 95

0 = no change (RGBA)
1 = black/white
2 = grey
3 = RGB no transparency
4 = RGB with transparency
5 = CMYK
6 = YCbCr
7 = 32bit Pixel
Mode: 1

I am going to try bringing the script in again. I can't imagine how I could've changed anything accidentally, but I suppose it's possible, though I don't see any outright differences. Can't hurt to try.

I'm puzzled, because I've run this script so many times without any trouble.</br>
Do you wanna try this:</br>

1. Maybe it's a matter of memory? Have you closed all other apps before running pythonista?</br>
2. I had some trouble with the "Inbox", so I always move my script to another place.</br>

What device are you running on and what version of iOS and Pythonista?

Also try putting some print statements into the code to isolate/discover exactly which line it is failing on.

[the_buch]

Good idea, I'll try that too. I'm running the current iOS 7 on an iPad 4. The latest release of Pythonista. I haven't tried it with all other apps closed yet though and I haven't had a chance to re-enter the script and give it a go. It's nearly 3am and I'm finally able to get to bed, so I'll try all of these ideas tomorrow and try to nail the problem. Thanks folks!
