XnView Software

This is new to me too but I would assume that you may need to specify the full path to each ini, and that possibly an ini will be created at the specified location when the program is run. But some trial and error might be needed to test different possible solutions.

And that you can probably ...

Me again
where is my mistake: "C:\Program Files\XnConvert-01-S\xnconvert.exe" /-ini size-s.ini
There are two .ini-file in the folder C:\Users\xyz\AppData\Roaming\XnConvert but only the xnconvert.ini is used.

Thanks. That should solve my issue

Thanks for your reply Pierre. I didn’t find a ini-file inside the zip-folder or a description to save the settings into an ini-file.
Where do I have to safe the ini to? Do you have a example-ini? So I could try to change it for needs.

Do you mean that only one Hot folder was monitored, which would suggest that the second XnConvert instance overwrote the Hot folder address set by the first XnConvert instance?


Correct cday, that´s what I was trying to explain. I started two .exe-Files from different folders but both instances ...

Thanks rmatthew for taking your time to think about it.
If I would own a Mac I could try ... but I don´t

Thanks for that. Using four instances might be a solution. :D
Is there a way create four auto-start-shortcuts starting with the four configured profiles?
The PC restarts automatically every 24 hours at night so I cant start the four instances every day "by hand".

My first test starting two ...

Hi together,
hopefully i´ll be able to describe my issue:
I want to add 4 watched (or hot) folders to reduce the measures and file-size from .jgp that will be copied into these folders.

Folder 1 should generate Size-S-files like 640 x 480 px
Folder 2 should generate Size-M-files like 1280 x 960 px ...
