Every file that is in the filelist of XNConvert is immediately analysed - size, thumbnail etc. Works fine for some dozens of files, but with some thousands of files it's no fun.
So the question is: I searched a long filelist with different criteria with TotalCommander, and now I want to use the results with XnConvert.
Version a): Drag and Drop - it's a too heavy load.
Is there a way to use it anyway?
Version b): Save the filelist as textfile and load the textfile with XNConvert.
What do you think about the implementation of this new(?) feature?

As said above - with really many files it would be fine if all calculation would be reduced to a minimum. And when I convert some hundred or some thousand files - thumbnail and imagesize don't make sense, it's only time and CPU consuming.

so perhaps having a list view without detail?

Detail view with "normal" columns (i.e. filename, path, type, file modified date, and size like Windows Explorer) would be good. Image info like width / height isn't needed in this context and determining image data would slow down things.
If a way to handle many files is added it would be good to add this to all dialogs that support bulk action - see Unified way for creating file list. XnView could automatically switch to this new special detail view whenever many files are selected / uploaded / ....
