XNConvert - Load scripts and batch files

Post by mariopac »

Hi,

I want to avoid photoshop actions (expensive program), and I'm searching a freeware software.

This is my batch file:
nconvert -out jpeg -resize 190 0 -ratio -q 60 -o C:\CNV\190_%%.jpg *.*
nconvert -out jpeg -resize 121 0 -ratio -q 60 -o C:\CNV\121_%%.jpg *.*
nconvert -out jpeg -resize 75 0 -ratio -q 60 -o C:\CNV\75_%%.jpg *.*

For each image I want to create 3 thumbs all in ONE STEP(important), but in a GUI or XNConvert is better to me because I have more control about "Add files" and "Output Directory".

Suggestion for XNConvert: Why not load batch files and interpret only nconvert syntaxes ? :) Macros ?

Do you have any idea or alternative for this, other tool ? Maybe GIMP script-fu but complicated.

Yes, currently it's not possible to have many output files!
