Is is really to permit execution XBS files from viewer command line, or as a task for nconvert?

Somthing as
>xnview -ex File.xbs

What is the export command line from XBS file?

[helmut]

For exporting your .xbs file to a "real" batch script which can be executed from command line using nconvert you...
1. ...open the dialog "Batch processing" in XnView (Menu "Tool > Batch processing")
2. ...in "Batch processing" dialog press button "Load..." and choose your XBS file using the file dialog. Confirm the file dialog with "Open".
3. ...Press button "Export..." and choose a directory and name for your batch script.
Done.

Please note that for executing the batch script you might need to include nconvert in the search path (PATH) for program files. Or you edit the batch script and add the full path for nconvert.

Thank you, helmut.
This way is very bad for debugging operating sequence.
May be it's a bug. But adding a new operation not correspond with exporting bat file. If i want to add an operation, i have to initiate the new dialog/ It's very uncomfortable.

I don't quite understand what you mean.

In "Batch processing" dialog you can save and load your script quickly. So you can save your transformation and export it. If needed, you can reload your transformations (using the drop down list box), change it, save it, and export it, again. Simple and fast, I think.

If that's not fast enough and you want to do more batch scripting, you will have to learn how to use nconvert.

Right. A pity that XnConvert is still in beta testing stage, I hope this will change once XnView MP is finished.

I think that this version will not be supported anymore. But a new version of XnConvert (dialog from MP) will be available...
