Project description
# Pics2Word
A command line program to copy pictures into a word document.
Usage can be found using
$ pics2word -h help
## Installation
Installing the Pics2Word software:
Install Python (Latest version of 3.X series, NOT 2.7). This is a dependency that is required for the program to work and allows us to install pics2word with pip. (Pip is a recursive acronym for pip installs packages)
When that is installed, open the command line (or PowerShell) and then type:
$ pip install pics2word
This installs the latest version of pics2word onto the system.
From the latest Windows 10 update, the PowerShell can be opened from windows file explorer > File > Open Windows PowerShell From Linux you may need root privillages. If the above does not work, try
$ sudo pip install pics2word –user
You can now run “pics2word” from the command line anywhere. Type:
$ pics2word –h help
for information on how to use it.
Note: pics2word can be updated to the latest release with:
$ pip install –upgrade pics2word
note the two dashes before upgrade.
Useful supplementary third party software:
[Caesium](https://saerasoft.com/caesium/) – image compression software. Useful if dealing with a large number of pictures to reduce the file size of the word document and speed up image processing.
[Bulk Rename Utility](http://www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk/Download.php) – allows large numbers of files to be renamed automatically. Especially useful if following a format such as “Photo 1, Photo 2… Photo X”
## New to this release 0.9.2
Picture files are now sorted more intellegently by picking integers from strings then ordering by number.
