severe batch convert bug

Post by toyotadesigner »

OS X 10.11.6 (15G31) El Capitan
Xn View MP 0.92

I have set up a process to convert JPEG images of a size of 1.500 x 1.000 pixels to a size of 660 x 440 pixels.

Set the 'Output Folder' to 'Source Folder'.

Saved this as 'blog.xbs'.

Now I open 'Batch Convert', select the 'blog.xbs', and the 'Source Folder' is no longer selected, but some weird folder:

No matter what I do, 'Batch Convert' always uses the weird folder instead of the 'Source Folder'

If I don't check all settings, my converted images end up somewhere, but never in the 'Source Folder'.

Would you please be so kind an correct this annoying bug?

the pathname in 'Folder' is an old used folder, it's not in the .xbs
But the bug is that 'source folder' should be selected

I restarted Xnview.
I deleted all *.xbs files
I recreated the action
I selected 'Folder'
I saved the action

Problem is still there. Something must be stored somewhere in the programm, but I don't know where.

When I edit the *.xbs file with BBEDIT and remove in the line '<Output ' the element 'folder="" ', everything is ok.

Pierre,

I've edited the xnview.ini - now everything seems to be perfect.

There were two paths to folders in History= which I deleted.

In the folder I've found a hidden .xnviewmp folder. I moved it to the desktop and restarted xnview - it still works. So it seems that the hidden folder is not needed any longer (from a previous version?).
