The NConvert help file give the following syntax for the filelist option:
But using the option, the correct syntax seems to be:
That is uppercase L, as used in various early posts such as
this one.

I'm getting different results with
-l and
-L ...
The following code works correctly with -L but
not with -l when using the filelist below:
Code: Select all
nconvert.exe -o binder.tiff -multi -out tiff -c 7 -L Filelist.txt
Code: Select all
Input\1.tif Input\2.tif Input\3.tif Input\4.tif
When using the following filelist format with the above code neither
-l nor
-L work, I'm not sure whether it should?
Code: Select all
Input\1.tif Input\2.tif Input\3.tif Input\4.tif

Resolved I think:
The issue seems to have been related to the detailed format of the filelists used, correct output is now obtained with either
-l or
-L.
For reference the following filelist, with each filename on a separate line, works:
Code: Select all
Input\1.jpg
Input\2.jpg
Input\3.jpg
Input\4.jpg
That is the filelist format produced using the XnView MP
Create > File Listing... function, and by the XnView Classic
Create > File listing... when the
Copy to Clipboard option is
not used.
The following filelist format
also works:
Code: Select all
Input\1.jpg Input\2.jpg Input\3.jpg Input\4.jpg
That format is produced when the XnView Classic
Copy to Clipboard option is used, with the list items separated with three spaces, although only one seems to be required.
A possible complication may occur when the text file 'word wrap' option is enabled, effect not determined but a possible cause of the earlier confusion.
