XnView Software

Hello guys!
I have a bunch of pictures and their alpha images.
They are named like this: picture.png and picture_alpha.png.

I need to batch combine the image and it's aplha mask into one file. It works just fine by using "Add mask" action, but the problem is, i can't use a wildcard as the name of the mask in the XnConvert to use the different masks for each file. What i'd like to do is to input the {Filename}_alpha.png in the mask name field. Is it possible?

Or maybe there is another way to do it? Via command line batch file or something like this?

sorry but it's not possible

I think it should be possible using a batch file, but I don't have the experience to try it in the time available...

You could try posting the question on one of the programing forums...

Thanks for the answers guys. Looks like i'll have to resort the imagemagick + bat file to do this.

Or NConvert + bat file, I didn't mention the XnView command line utility explicitly, unless you prefer imagemagick...

Edit:

Looks as if Add mask hasn't been added to NConvert yet, as of 7.00...

Yeah, i've looked at nconvert first, but it doesn't support Add mask yet, unfortunately.
