Descript.ion file format

[Wolfgang Ziegler]

Hi,

I would like to use the Descrip.tion file generated in XNview in my own program - is there a summary of the file format available? What are the limitations as far as number of characters, number of entries?

many thanks,
Wolfgang

i don't think that there is a limitation of characters, here is

Pierre, XnTriq

thanks a lot - this is what I was looking for.
Is it correct that the quotes around file name are optional and must be used to allow "liberal file names" with spaces etc?

regards,
Wolfgang
