Description

Absolutely love image resizer and use it all the time. Has all the features I want and need, except for the ability recurse through a directory tree. Possible to get this on the list for consideration?

Use case is this: I am re-sizing my library of photos to 1920x1080 to copy to a digital picture frame (to reduce the file size so it all fits on the memory stick, and to match the native resolution of the display). Currently going through nearly 1,000 subfolders one at a time!!!

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the Image Resizer module's context menu implementation in PowerToys and explore how to add recursive folder processing. Look at the existing context menu handlers for files and extend them to handle folders with an option to apply recursively.
