Batch processing images

This extension provides a command to batch process uploaded images in the directories you normally watch for image upload (see General settings).

It is particularly useful if you let users upload images outside of TYPO3 (e.g., using FTP), thus bypassing upload post-processing to automatically resize them according to your rule sets. The command may be invoked from the command line using:

./vendor/bin/typo3 imageautoresize:batchresize

As such, when you create a new scheduler task, you need to choose "Execute console commands (scheduler)" and then "imageautoresize:batchresize".

This command will process all images found in the directories you are monitoring but you may optionally override this with two options:

• --defaultDirectories: a comma-separated list of directories to process instead of the one(s) you are monitoring.

• --excludeDirectories: a comma-separated list of directories to exclude from processing.

Important

As the scheduler task will process each directory found in your rule sets, make sure to exclude directories you normally do not show to your editors (e.g., 1:/templates) which may contain large image assets that should never be processed by this extension.
