Hi
I'm looking for a way to batch copy and resize .tex files and I'm not sure what is the best way to go about it. I did toy with txmakein the Renderman bin folder and was able to have it do a simple copy with the terminal: ./txmake ~/foo.tex ~/bar.tex. But if then when I try to resize bar.tex ./txmake ~/bar.tex "resize down"the image size stays the same. Also, I would like to set an absolute power of 2 and not a relative one.
I notice there's a txmake.py in Houdini python folder, under .../pdg/job but don't seem to be able to import it.

So here are a few of questions:
- Can I use python to invoke txmake instead of having to use the system console? Why would the resize not be working?
- Could I by chance use a COP Network? I tried a network with a PNG and it worked but with a TEX it gave me an error.
- Is there anything in PDG to do this or is there any use to the python under ../pdg/job?

Thanks
