To get the latest build (.jar or .exe file), check the release page on the github project: https://github.com/redwarp/9-Patch-Resizer/releases
The .exe file is just a wrapper around the executable .jar file, use it if you don't feel comfortable with a java archive ^_^
What is it exactly?
Let's face it : juggling with densities for Android is a bit of a pain, especially when dealing with 9 patch png.
And then comes this tool, that takes a xhdpi PNG file, or 9.png file, and generates ldpi, mdpi and hdpi png files automatically.
As simple as drag and drop can get.
And here is the changelog
Current version : 1.3.3

Anyway...
If for some weird reasons, some of your PNG files aren't resized properly, don't hesitate to send them to me, so that I can investigate !
I hope it'll prove as useful to you as it is useful to me. If you like it, and have too much cash in you hands, don't hesitate to donate : I could use a few beers.
