Lymphatus / caesium-image-compressor

Ability to choose an action to perform after the compression #205

Also being able to choose an action to perform after the compression would be great (like shutting the app down, putting the PC to sleep or turn it off...)

+1 for this. What's the status?

Lymphatus commented 1 year ago

I wanted to start the development of this for the 2.6.0 version. It's a bit tricky because it's OS dependent, but I think I'll start with Windows, with macOS/Linux after. I'll probably start with shutting down the app/PC after compression. Any ideas of other options that might be useful?

BlackGrimReaper commented 1 year ago

Few options that are coming to my mind are

Shutdown
Hibernate
sleep
close caesium app
Run a .bat file or a custom program/script. This choice is valuable as it opens up many options for post-processing tasks, making things simpler for you in the long run. You won't need to create more custom solutions, and users can take care of it themselves. It would also be helpful if the app could remember the last 5-10 programs/scripts used (drop down history list) for a smoother workflow.

Added all of the above except for the run of a custom script, which is a little more complicated. I'm still planning it for the future.
