NConvert with latest plugins

Post by herb »

Hello Pierre,

I just installed XnViewMP 1.11.4. Thanks for this new version.
Looking into (sub)directory plugins I have seen that almost all *.dll files are enhanced to latest versions and openEXR files have another filename.

Can we have NConvert_unicode.exe that also works with these "new" plugins.

Thanks in advance.
Best regards

Hello Pierre,

thanks for the new version 7.240.
I started the tests, but please be aware I have not finished.

Here are 2 comments
- with gpr.dll also *.gpr files can be converted. Please add this dll to plugins
- *.exr file can be converted using the "old" dll files (with "3-2" in filename).
I hoped that the new version will be working with the enhanced exr dll file (with "3-4" in filename)

Thanks again
Best regards

For me the latest exr dll have all "3-4" in filename.
This was my mistake. Also Imath-3_2.dll (with "3-2" in filename) must be available.

So it works now for exr file.
I will continue my tests.

Hallo Pierre,

during my test I found that XnViewMp 1.11.5 does not display all *.psd images and also NConvert 7.240 does not convert it to *.jpg
(see: viewtopic.php?t=50936).

I also found that NConvert does not convert *.ora images. The libora.dll is available plugins directory.
But XnViewMP 1.11.5 does display my testfile.

I get the following:
Error: Can't open file () ( 4 times)
I will send the testimage via mail.

Best regards

Hello Pierre,

Problems also occure with *.dds files.
They are converted properly - BUT NConvert does NOT send the message (to stderr)

Code: Select all

Converion of ... into ... OK

And also with *.xpm images.
NConvert gives the following error message:

Code: Select all

Error: This picture cannot be written using this format <path-to-jpg-image>
But XnViewMP does this file store in jpg format without any problems.

Best regards
