veach /d *.bmp /x resize * /scale 50%
is more or less the same as
FOR %i in (*.bmp) do resize %i /scale 50%
(use %%i when used in batch files)
from a batch file, FOR has also lower memory requirements although
this is most likely irrelevant for FDI
unfortunately this turns up a bug in FOR:
for %i in (*.*) do echo %i
works as expected, also echoing the command itself.
E:\FREEDOS\SRC>echo SOFTIC~1.IMA
SOFTIC~1.IMA
however
for %i in (*.*) do @echo %i
E:\FREEDOS\SRC>@echo SOFTIC~1.IMA
Bad command or filename - "@ECHO".
bug report filed
Tom.
