A developer reported that a program failed with an error when launched from a batch file but ran fine when double-clicked in Windows Explorer. Microsoft's Raymond Chen explained that Explorer automatically sets the current working directory to the folder containing the launched file, while a batch file calling the program by full path does not change the directory at all. The customer fixed the issue by using pushd and popd commands to set and restore the working directory within the batch file.
Samsung has released Gallery Assistant, a Good Lock module that adds seven new tools to the Gallery app on Galaxy phones, including size reduction, rotate and flip, image clipping, watermarking, image comparison, and PDF export. Many of these tools support batch processing, letting users apply the same edit to multiple images or videos simultaneously instead of repeating actions one by one.
