"Open With" input box to type the value.

[FKCapitalism2]

For use with ExifTool for instance i want to tag series of images with EXIF ImageDescription tag, i select images then right click Open With > select line that i use to populate image description tag with ExifTool.

Problem is that to put new value inside image description i have to always go trough Configure programs menu to change actual command line, which is very slow.

Code: Select all

-overwrite_original -progress -ImageDescription="Hello World!"

Would be so much faster if you allow to specify variable trough popup box.

Code: Select all

-overwrite_original -progress -ImageDescription="{%input_box}"

Then when running command XnView MP shows input box where i type description of the image and it will populate the value of input box instead of {%input_box} and execute command.

For instance you enter New Years Eve 2022, so following command will exectue

Code: Select all

-overwrite_original -progress -ImageDescription="New Years Eve 2022"

Another use case could be to query certain EXIF tag from image

Code: Select all

-{%input_box} -K

After you enter ImageWidth to text box, following command will execute.

Code: Select all

-ImageWidth -K

I support this suggestion.

Perhaps this example would work :
Name : : Program : : Parameters
Look_for_folder : : cmd : : Dir D:\Photos /s /ad /b | find /i "(%input_box)"

Enter a word in the input box, and this CMD script will look for folder names in D:Photos containing this word....
