Extremely Specific Image Editing Problem

[ardosos]

I'm looking for a way to automate a sequence of image editing actions. I've looked around but I'm not quite sure what to look for, I've never really understood computers. Basically I'm looking for a way to automatically do the following steps:

•Recognize a folder of images, take the images in alphabetical order
•Get the value, in pixels, of the width of the widest image
•Get the value, in pixels, of the total height of all the images
•Arrange the images vertically within those dimensions
•Save the result as a single image file with the dimensions that were set above, with transparency or something where an image wasn't wide enough to fill the full width of the final result

I'm sure there's some way to do this on a windows machine, but I don't know it. Batch file? GIMP plugin?

Does anyone have any ideas?

If you know C++ try programming something using the OPENCV libraries.

Going to take a while even with C++ knowledge though.

Sample output:

Normally I'd put it on Github but it's tiny so pastebin it is. [URL="http://pastebin.com/bFmJD0AM"]Program.cs[/URL] [URL="http://pastebin.com/9EuQXQDa"]Imaging.cs[/URL].

This is exactly what I needed, thank you so much!
