Batch File Droplet

Question

I have a droplet that uses imagemagick "convert" to compress multiple files that I drag and drop on to the droplet. I have scavanged the code from other sources online and don't really understand what it is doing. My problem is, I can only drag and drop 82 files at a time, any more and the script will not work.

Here is my code:

if not exist "%~p1output\"NUL mkdir "%~p1output\"
:nextFile
   if "%~1" equ "" goto exitLoop
   convert "%~1"* -quality 70 "%~p1output\%~n1%~x1"
   shift
   goto nextFile
:exitLoop

Any help is appreciated.

No, it just terminates the script and doesn't process any of the files. — user3044309, Nov 28 '13 at 04:31

The batch gets the dropped file names via command line. The length of the command line is limited to 8191 characters. So I think more than approx. 80 names exceeds the limit.

You can use a batch file with wildcards to process a folder full, or a branch of folders. – foxidrive Nov 28 '13 at 11:45

For drag and drop the limit is only 4096 – jeb Dec 02 '13 at 21:23
