Notes:

You must install the Java JRE to use this program.
See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/jgloss/jre.html

This program can only be used from the command prompt, (or via an command
line style icon shortcut) e.g. under Windows command.exe or JPSoft
tcmd.exe, formerly called the DOS box. Just clicking the programs in a
directory listing will not do anything useful. Just typing the program
names at the command prompt will not either.

This program requires a manual install! See below.

This program works with vanilla text files, (e.g. ASCII files or UTF-8
Unicode files). You will need a text editor to create and view them, not a word
processor. e.g. notepad, Visual Slick Edit or other suitable text editor
http://mindprod.com/jgloss/editor.html. You must use a monospaced font
http://mindprod.com/jgloss/monospacedfonts.html (aka fixed pitch, aka
programmer font) to view your files, or they won't look properly aligned.

I put out an avalanche of free software into the world, and submit PAD
files to hundreds of distribution sites, but I rarely hear back from
anyone.  What's happening?  Does it all just work fine?  It is so
complicated nobody can figure out how to use it and they give up on it?
It is it useful?  Since everyone has the source, do people just fix the
programs to their liking themselves?  Did you have trouble installing?  Do
I presume you know too much?  I would be happy to hear from you about your
experiences, positive or negative and your requests for improvements.  A
one-line email to roedy@mindprod.com would be great.

===> Free <===
Full source included.
You may even include the source code, modified or unmodified
in free/commercial open source/proprietary programs that you write and distribute.
May be used freely for any purpose but military.
For more details on this restriction, see
http://mindprod.com/contact/nonmil.html
If you include any Canadian Mind Products code in your own applications,
your app too must be labelled non-military use only.

All Java jars and source code are included. If you need the class files or Javadoc, you will have to build them yourself. To streamline the zip downloads, class files and Javadoc have been removed.

Prerequisites:

This program runs under any OS that supports Java,
(e.g.W2K/XP/W2003/Vista/W2008/W7-32/W7-64/W8-32/W8-64/Linux/LinuxARM/LinuxX86
/LinuxX64/Ubuntu/Solaris/SolarisSPARC/SolarisSPARC64/SolarisX86/SolarisX64/OSX/AIX...)
so long as you have
<><> Java version 1.8 <><> or later installed (32-bit or 64-bit Java).
See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/installingjava.html for details.

----

Installing on a PC:

Download source and compiled jar files to run on your own machine as an application.
First install a recent Java JDK or JVM.
See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/installingjava.html.
To install, extract the zip download with WinZip
(or similar unzip utility) into any directory you please,
often J:\ --  ticking off the <span class="click">use folder names</span> option.
To run as an application, type:
java.exe %JAVA_OPTIONS -ea -jar J:\com\mindprod\rightsize\rightsize.jar {put any parms here}

adjusting as necessary to account for where the jar file is.

----

Installing on a MacIntosh:

Use Safari to download source and compiled jar files to run on your own machine as an application.
Safari will automatically unpack the zip into ~/Downloads (version 10.5)
[or on the Desktop (version 10.4 and earlier)].
First install a recent Java JDK or JVM.
See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/installingjava.html.
You may optionally move the download tree to a permanent home.
I don't have a MacIntosh, just a PC, so I can't test my Java programs for Mac compatibility.
In theory they should work without problems, but in practice that does not always happen.
If you have problems please, let me know, preferably with screenshots and complete verbatim error messages.
To run as an application, without parameters, just double click the jar file.

To run as an application with parameters, in bash shell type:
open Terminal.app
cd ~/Desktop
java.exe -ea -jar com/mindprod/rightsize/rightsize.jar {put any parms here}

adjusting as necessary to account for where the jar file is.

----

Rebuilding:

The zip already contains the necessary jar files, so unless you modify
the program, there is no need to recompile the source or rebuild the jar.
Configure.java basedir="E:/" in rebuild.xml to the drive where your files are.
Use ANT and rebuild.xml, not build.xml, to recompile and recreate the jar.

----

Use:

RightSize checks that .png, .jpg, .jpeg, .gif and *.webp files are the
size you expect.  By that I mean the size of the images in pixels, not the
size of the files themselves in bytes.  In particular, you might use it to
check that all your PAD icons are precisely 32x32, or screenshots are
between 200 x 200 and 800 x 600 or to find all the very large or very
small images in your collection.  It will also check that files are
consistent, e.g.  that you have not stored a gif file with a png
extension.  You can check single files, lists of files and even multiple
directory trees.  To check a single image file is between 32x32 and 64x64
inclusive , type:
  java.exe -jar C:\com\mindprod\rightsize\rightsize.jar 32 32 64 64  lemon.png
You can also list several files on the command line:
  java.exe -jar C:\com\mindprod\rightsize\rightsize.jar  32 32 64 64 pear.jpg C:\mydir\peach.gif
you can check an entire directory of files:
  java.exe -jar C:\com\mindprod\rightsize\rightsize.jar  32 32 64 64 .
Sorry no wildcards, just .  , and ..  DON'T USE WILDCARDS unless you
deeply understand how they work.  See
http://mindprod.com/jgloss/wildcard.html.  Windows expands them, not
RightSize, and feeds them to RightSize (or any other program) as a giant
list of all the directories and files in the current directory.  RightSize
will thus tend process all the files in your directories, when you just
meant to process the files in the current directory.
The -s switch makes all subsequent directories searched
recursively to include all their subdirectories.
e.g.  to check that all files in the directory tree in the size range 16x32 and 128x100
  java.exe -jar C:\com\mindprod\rightsize\rightsize.jar 16 32 128 100  E:\mindprod
If you have the jar extension set up as executable, you can
abbreviate:
  C:\com\mindprod\rightsize\rightsize.jar 16 32 128 100 .
If you have Jet that will collapse further to:
  rightsize.exe 16 32 128 100 .
It tells you only about the files out of range.  If all you want to do is
get a list of how big each image is, just ask for limits: 9999 9999 9999
9999 and every image will fail and tell you its size.
There is a companion utility called cropper that bulk crops images to a
desired size.
Why the bowl of porridge icon?  It is reference to the children's story
Goldilocks and three bears.  She tasted the three bowls of porridge, one
was too hot, one too cold and one just right.  RightSize makes sure images
are "just right" too.
