I run an online business that sells digital designs. Before uploading these designs to my website, they need to be compressed.
Instead of right-clicking>Send To> Compressed Zipped Folderfor each file, I wrote a simple Powershell script to bulk compress all the .png images into individual folders. I just drop a few PNG’s into the “designs” folder, and run it. The script runs perfectly when ran within the Powershell ISE console, but when I save it as a .ps1 and run it, it zips the file without any contents inside.
Any suggestions?
Here’s the script:
Script to compress transparent PNG’s into .zip files
gci C:\users\ADMIN\desktop\designs -recurse *.png |
ForEach-Object {
$zip = $.fullname -replace “.png”,“.zip”;
new-item -type File $zip -force;
((new-object -com shell.application).namespace($zip)).copyhere($.fullname)
}
