Mass Scan

[bbi]

Hi,
I have a Question regarding "How to use ..."

I am using XnView to scan all my documents (Paperless (private) Office).
Once a month I scan 50-100 documents in a bunch. Then I have the
same number of pictures open in XnView.

Now I want to save all pictues by using the standard name (scan 1, scan2, .....).
Afterwards I change the file names accordingly.

Question: How can I save all open pictures without accepting every pictures?

I found the possiblity "Copy all open pictures", but then the file format .png is used.
Question: How can I change the default file format to jpg?

Many Thanks for your help!

Question: How can I save all open pictures without accepting every pictures?

Could you post a screenshot, or two if necessary?

Could you be looking at your scanner control interface via the XnView TWAIN interface?

That is possible, but then I have to press the button "OK" 50-100 times.
And this is my problem.

yes

yes

By using the function "Copy all open pictures", I can avoid to press the button "OK". But the new created file has then the file format "png".

How can I change the default file format from png to jpg? (Currently I am running afterward a batch process to convert from png to jpg).

Many Thanks für a answer.

Regards, Boris

A screenshot might help...

If your XnView interface is set to a language other than English, a screenshot in the language you are using might still be of some use, or you could possibly set the interface language to English temporarily to check the English text for the option to which you are referring.

Edit: Is this possibly the problem?

Image_1.png (13.5 KiB) Viewed 2176 times

The File > Save opened image(s)... window is titled Copy ...

Image_2.png (22.49 KiB) Viewed 2176 times

And there is (surprisingly?) no option to select the file format to be used...

Just prepared the screenshots, but you were faster - Many Thanks.

Yes that is my problem. I searched in the settings a possibility to define a default file format, but I was not successful.

[xnview]

you can change it in [general] section of .ini

Code: Select all

FormatSaveAll=jpeg

Hi,

unfortunately I was not successful.

After changing the INI location under "Menu/Tool/Options/Systemintegration"
I found the xnview.ini file under the following location:
C:\Users\XXXYourUsernameXXX\AppData\Roaming\XnView

As I did not found a "General" Section I included the following:

[General]
FormatSaveAll=jpeg

Saved ini file, restarted xnview.

1. Test: Does not work. Therefore I changed the .ini to:

[General]
Code: Select all
FormatSaveAll=jpeg

2. Test: Does not work. Still the png file format is used.

Any help appreciated.

Regards,
Boris

FormatSaveAll belongs in the [Start] section.

[quote="xnview (Re: "save opened images" png -> jpg)"]

In [start]section of xnview.ini, add

Code: Select all

FormatSaveAll=jpg

[/quote]

You must add

Code: Select all

FormatSaveAll=jpeg

for example in the [Start] section of your xnview.ini

FormatSaveAll

• Changes the file format XnView uses when saving new files with the 'Save opened image(s)...' option.
  Value: String, default value is PNG
  Example: FormatSaveAll=jpeg

Hi,

many Thanks!

Unfortenately it does not work.

I included "FormatSaveAll=jpeg" in the Start Section.
I restartetd XnView. I rebooted the PC. But it does not work.

I do not understand the sense of "Code: Select all", therfore I tried to
include it also in the Start section, but with same effect.
