B1: Batch Convert - Output dir. improvements

[Dreamer]

What about these improvements http://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.php?p=19490#19490 ?

At least easier way to use original path should be find for 1.82, I think. Many users don't know about it and ask how they can do it...

XnView 1.82 <x>

Brr, it's getting worse with the place holders. This is something for experienced users, but nothing for novice & normal users.

What we really need is a direct acces to original folder name. Various solutions have been discussed in the topic mentioned above.

Nice feature. Perhaps a new text file "command.txt" would be useful for placeholders and other advanced features.

Yes - and the best for normal and advanced users* and probably also easy to implement is this one:

...single button with dropdown menu and these items (with explanation) - same as Insert button in Batch Rename:

- Use org. path for images (it would empty the dir. path)
- %
- .
- \
...

* - normal users could use drop down menu, advanced users just symbols

Note: Options/symbols above my be incorrect, more options could be added, in 1.82 just few of them could be added...

Batch convert dialog (2 lines) could look like this:

Code: Select all

Directory [          ] [Insert >>] [...]
Format    [          ] [    Options    ]

X.

I think this is quite important, for novice (but also for advanced) users. We had many questions about this existing/hidden option.

At least some tooltip should be added, or it could be added to the "Tip of the day" maybe...

Moved back to "New/Open".

OK, postponed.
