.. ================================================== .. FOR YOUR INFORMATION .. -------------------------------------------------- .. -*- coding: utf-8 -*- with BOM. .. include:: ../../Includes.txt .. _batch-processing: Batch processing images ----------------------- This extension provides a scheduler task to batch process uploaded images in the directories you normally watch for image upload (see :ref:`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 (see figure :ref:`myfigure`). .. _myfigure: .. figure:: ../../Images/scheduler-task.png :alt: Scheduler task to batch resize images Configuration form of a scheduler task to batch resize images .. 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., :file:`fileadmin/templates`) which may contain large image assets that should never be processed by this extension.
