NConvert with latest plugins

[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

could you try this version

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

it doesnt work with latest exr dll?

Hello Pierre,

it doesnt work with latest exr dll?

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.

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.

Problems also occure with *.dds files.

always?

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

which command line?

Hello Pierre,

thanks for your quick reply and thanks for taking time looking into my problems.

(1) @ *.ora files
Here I have to say sorry. I regret, but it was an error in my application that caused the problem.

(2) @ *.dds files
It is hard to answer your question because my test-file collection contains only 1 *.dds image.
Please find this image attached.

(3) @ *.xpm files
I mostly use NConvert with my application. It uses the following generic commandline

Code: Select all

-ignore_errors -page 0 -overwrite -out jpeg -q 100 -o <path to outputfile without any space> <path to source file in quotes>

I hope my answers help a little bit.

it's an indexed color picture, so you need -32bits

[herb]

Hello Pierre,

thanks for your analysis.

I thought it is an error in NConvert, because XnViewMP 1.11.5 and also IrfanView can read the image and store as *.jpg image.

Is there any chance that also NConvert can store it as jpg.
Please keep in mind that I am looking for a generic command to be used for all formats.

you need -32bits

What does this mean in detail?
Is it option -32bits?
If yes, can this option be used as part of a generic command?

Best regards

-32bits convert in RGB/RGBA the picture, the only problem is if you have a 8bits grey image

so no new problems?
