XnConvert as command line tool?

NConvert has not all the features of XnConvert, so is it a good idea if XnConvert could convert files by passing a .xbs file

Is this possible? Much easier than trying to make NConvert files work

XnConvert a.xbs a1.jpg .... a9.jpg


Also if you could run a batch on completion it would be great too

I think useful. I can make a bat file that calls

XnConvert a.xbs %*

Then drag jpg files to the bat and it converts all

Will the function of XnConvert as a command-line tool still be developed?because NConvert cannot meet my needs, and I hope this function can be added.

Your question didn't get the attention it deserved, Pierre.
I'd say, most certainly Yes - that XnConvert should be a companion to NConvert and be capable of performing all the functions of the GUI.
It's very useful to be able to pass parameters to programs, of course, so if both your converters were developed side-by-side, we would have excellent usability options.

A definite Yes.

Output should be in a dialog or in console?

I believe this command line output should be by default in the stream output of the process, but as convenience it could have a command line option to enforce a dialog instead.
