KMZ Images

alexschreyer

I got a lot of KMZ files (exported from SketchUp) that are very large (the people that made them didn't care too much about texture size).
Of course this is mainly a texture problem. Has anyone figured out a quick way to resize textures in multiple KMZ files?

The following procedure works well, but it needs to be scripted somehow:

Open folder containing KMZ files
Rename files as ZIP folders
Open all folders and resize containing images to max size (e.g. 800 px max width) and re-save with low compression
Rename all folders as KMZ files

Has anyone figured out an automated way to do this? I am thinking Automator scripts would work well. I think I could also write a Ruby script for this. This could also be implemented easily as a web app. I just wanted to check what's out there before I embark on it.

Seems prog like Irfanview, Fastone...make that very easily in one pass (rename, resize or reformat etc)
And it's free

Do they work with ZIP files, too? That's what the KMZ is, after all. I can do the resizing of all images in a folder in Photoshop, too, but I want to make the ZIP decompress / compress steps automatic, too.

For unzip some files in the same time use this

But normaly CTRL + a --> Extract here in a folder must extract all zipped files in one pass !
With WinRar there is no problem!
But if some files have same names better extract in separated folder (asked by WinRar)
