Based on this, I didn't want to do that. But will do so now. I agree, pretty disruptive here.

Or maybe we should move it over to the programming forum?

Yeah, I maybe should remove that. I added that because a few years ago when there was more activity here I'd get a few of those a week at least, people wanting me to solve their problem via PM instead of the forum, or asking me to read their thread. I just want to read the forum and answer the ones I feel like answering.

Anyway, it's my fault for posting so much here. I would have stuck with PM except you can't have attachments.

Just happened upon this thread again so I thought I'd post that we did actually get this working eventually, and it's available here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=318291 . It requires ImageMagick to work, but my understanding is that even some shared hosts have that installed, you just need to figure out the path to the executables.
