Installation

pip via python -m pip the python recommended way

If python is your command

If python3 is your command

python3 -m pip install psgresizer

Usage

Open a command window and type:

psgresizer

Create a Shortcut To This Program

If you're a Windows user, then use the psgshortcut application to make a shortcut to this program so that you can then put on your desktop or pin to your taskbar (or any other use that stops the need to type psgresizer ever again).

To get psgshortcut, like all of the other psg application projects, pip install it. (e.g. pip install psgshortcut)

To do this, follow these steps:

1. Open a command window (I promise, it's the last time you'll need to for this program)
2. Type - where psgresizer
3. Copy the line that where psgresizer gave you into the first input of the shortcut maker program
4. Run psgresizer by typing psgresizer in your command window
5. Right click and choose "File Location"
6. Copy the file location results, but change the extension from .py to .ico and paste into the Icon file input of the shortcut maker
7. Click "Create Shortcut"

This will create a shortcut in the same folder as the target file. You can safely move this shortcut file to any place you want (like to your desktop). Double-click the shortcut and your program should launch.
