collage_maker's Issues

No PIL package available in pypi

Please find the above issue while using PIL , please see if your code can work with some other image library other than PIL and Image

[Feature] Process archive files. similar to folders

Had anyone tried to process zip other type of archives in same manner as folders currently?
By default script uses paths to gather file list, and so far my attempts to create such list for files in zip work not as I'm expecting.

Switch from optparse to argparse

As the optparse module is deprecated, switch to argparse.

There are only jpg but, I get this after a while:

Resize only, not crop

Hi, loving this.
Is there a way to make sure that all of the image is included even if some are very small. But not missing information. The title says it, resize not crop?

Really appreciate it

Limit the height of the image with another parameter

Hi
Is it also possible to limit the height and not only the width?
I tried to implement it myself and add another parameter but I didn't really find out where to add the check and resize the images after. I know the repo is quite old, but if you still have knowledge about this script, would be awesome.

thanks in advance
