Topic: Scale entire map of elements

Hey,
I was wondering if it's possible to scale an entire folder of elements at once.
I'm aware of the QET element-scaler from plc-user on github, but i'm not able to get this to work. (Guess i'm not smart enough nomicons/smile.
Any other easier options to handle this?
Thx in advance

1 get binary https://github.com/plc-user/QET_Element … /0.4beta10
2 get zip tarball https://github.com/plc-user/QET_Element … master.zip
3 extract tarball
4 put binary in the extacted folder
5 edit scale.sh or scale.cmd dependy of your OS
6 run scale.sh/cmd in a terminal



Hint:
Get familiar with the command line before using this software. General support for using the command line for the various systems cannot be provided here.

usage:
QET_ElementScaler [options] <file>
(as used in Batch-File "scale.cmd" and shell-script "scale.sh")

Re: Scale entire map of elements

Maybe "we" should update the information on QET-Website:
QET_ElementScaler is available in version 0.5.0beta19 already...
https://github.com/plc-user/QET_ElementScaler/releases
What do you think, Laurent? nomicons/wink

What exactly is the problem with calling of the program?
What lies where (program and elements) and what have you tried?

Now, that QET_ElementScaler can be used from Element-Editor ...

The versions available from QET-Homepage seem to be very old, too.
We don't want to unnecessarily confuse users with old junk, do we?  nomicons/angel
Maybe you can upgrade the versions there too, Laurent?

Re: Scale entire map of elements

Does it work for macOS ( intel or arm )?

Re: Scale entire map of elements

Salut Laurent !

Thank you for the quick reaction!  nomicons/smile

I guess it should be enough to have a w64-version on QET-Website:
QET is only available for w64 so there is no need for w32, when it is called by QET.

The w32-Build is mainly meant for educational- and standalone-use.
... and for promotion of the great project "ReactOS" (no, I'm not involved there)

I guess it should work.
But as always with free software:
No guarantee!  nomicons/wink

EDIT:

Can you compile and run QET_ElementScaler on your macOS-Systems from commandline?
Then it should also work in combination with QET.

Best regards

Yes it tried it when I build intel OSX bundle and provide by the same the x86_64 osx binary, not time today to build osx arm64 builds.

On macOS the problem with the dialog box to open elmt to resize does not display hidden files like the .qet/ directory by default, Yes I know a workaround exists but I forgot...

Re: Scale entire map of elements

Personally, here's how I do it with the little time I've spent on it:
I click on the element I want to convert, then I enter to the element editor, I press crtl + a and delete all parts, because at the moment the external plugin only opens an elm file, not the element in focus in the editor, otherwise we'll have two elements on top of each other.

Then I import an element to resize/flip mirror with file dialog, I look for where it is in the qet user folders and I choose my options. If I'm not happy, I just do an undo or click on the refresh icon. And re try it...

After off course you can use it on the terminal for batch lot see the QET_elementScaler readme file and use convert scripts and adapt these.

Salut Laurent !

You can of course create a totally new element without needing to delete anything...

Re: Scale entire map of elements

FYI I compile QET_elementScaler under windows 10 VM based on C.Gilles DigiKam bundle VCPKG  https://invent.kde.org/graphics/digikam … type=heads
Work fine.
ps: I've tried other Windows compilations than the usual MXE cross-compilation, so here it's not static but in shared mode with *dll files.
