Edit - Replace pictures

[maraudar]

First off let me say I love Calibre and the editor option has become one of my favorite tools.

The question I have is when I am editing a book I often export the pictures and then reduce them in size then bring them back replacing the originals. No problems works right every time.

Is there a way to bulk select the images and export them or am I doomed to doing each one individually? I can do it that way but it takes longer than I like and I really am a lazy person ...

Rather than do this in the Editor:

Unpack (that is a built in function) 'U': Explode Book: (in the OEPS folder. Alternately the images may be the Images sub folder).

Have at it. Just remember : No deleting or name changes,

Click Rebuild, when done

Also note that you can resize images in the editor itself. Simply double click the image file and use the resize tool.

Thank you both for all the information. Off to do my edits...
