Call external program with several pictures

Post by Guest »

Hi,

I wonder is there any way of calling an external program from XnView with several pictures? I'd like to call the command line tool "align_image_stack.exe" with all the images marked in the XnView browser. At the moment, I can call "align_image_stack" from XnView by using the "tools --> open with" command, but it seems as if align_image_stack is invoked several times (once for each picture marked in the XnView browser) and not once as it should be with all the pictures as parameters.

Cheers,
Frank

Right, must be fixed

Thanks :D
Sometimes it would also be nice to add parameters via the command line - maybe this could be done by an optional "command line string" that is sent to the external progam in addition to the filenames. Would it be difficult to implement that?
