filelist to crash nconvert

Hi,
i'd like to use nconvert with a filelist, but it just crashes completely on Windows (showing the dialog to send information to microsoft)
filelist has just one entry:
C:\hello.jpg
command line following:
nconvert.exe - v -out tiff -o "C:\#.tiff" -l C:\filelist.txt
its also not working without the -o switch
Is this a known bug, or am i doing something wrong?
converting without filelist works well.. also tried different versions of nconvert...
thanks Sebastian

Yes, i have the latest version, and i tried older ones too.... seems to be just a problem on one of my machines at home.... works fine on the other.... is it of any use if i send you the error report?

Strange, it's the windows version?

Yes, it's the windows version... got a lot of installed codecs and graphics programms...but should be no problem, though normal converting works.

I confirm this using nconvert (not xnconvert), nconvert crashes when using e.g.:
Code: Select all
c:\Programy\XnView\nconvert.exe -l "c:\Documents and Settings\Hacker\Local Settings\Temp\CMD489.tmp"
The listfile contains only one line, without spaces or any special chars.
A console window opens:
Code: Select all
** NCONVERT v4.95 (c) 1991-2008 Pierre-E Gougelet (May 1 2008/17:48:32) **
Version for Windows NT/9x/2000/Xp/Vista (All rights reserved)
** This is a freeware software (for non commercial use)
then the standard "send information to Microsoft" crash dialog appears.
Using nconvert 4.95.

And if you add for example -v ?

Confirming on:
Dell D820 - Core 2 Duo 1.83Ghz, 2Gb RAM
Windows XP Service Pack 3
NConvert 4.95
- Confirming with and without -o argument
- Confirming replacing -l with -L
- Confirming with 1 file listed in filelist
- Confirming with >1 file listed in filelist
- Confirming with multiple -out formats (png, gif, jpeg)
- Confirming no output with -v argument
- Cannot reproduce with existing but empty filelist
Would love this to be resolved VERY soon, as I am evaluating solutions for my employer to deploy multi-remote-site image conversion/resize batch processing, and we WILL be paying for it. This is all that stands in the way.
I am willing to work with the developers and send in crash reports/dumps if we can arrange a debug build or enable minidump output.
I will be keeping an eye on this post for the next week or so, please report back here if you're keen to get this fixed and ill register an account

Error using listfile with -multi option

I can't make listfile work with -multi option. In the example below I am using new test version of NConvert, but I haven't been able to make any version of NConvert work with -multi and -L options
Works:
C:\XnView>Nconvert -in fmag -o $#.pdf -out pdf -L listfile.txt
** NCONVERT v4.98 (c) 1991-2008 Pierre-E Gougelet (Jun 4 2008/21:16:39) **

Conversion of C:\XnView\00000008.MAG into C:\XnView\1.pdf OK
Conversion of C:\XnView\00000023.MAG into C:\XnView\2.pdf OK
C:\XnView>
Doesn't work:
C:\XnView>Nconvert -multi -in fmag -o $#.pdf -out pdf -L listfile.txt

The only option I added was -multi
I don't know if it's related to the other errors with listfile processing.
Thanks,

hi there,
I have the same problem too: even with a single (correct) line, the "-L <filelist>" crashes, no matter how hard I try.
In my case I used a DOS command as workaround:
FOR.
Here it is how:
Code: Select all
for /R %i IN (*.iff) DO nconvert -in tdi -out png -D "%i"
Now, this is the command line version. If you want to use it in a batch then the synthax changes a little: just substitute
%i with
%%i and you're done.
In the example above, starting from the current dir, it looks up everywhere (subdir included) for IFF and convert each one of them at time into PNGs, deleting IFFs when done (-D function).
If you want to specify a different starting location to start from, just do it right after "/R", like this:
Code: Select all
for /R c:\mydirectory %i IN (*.iff) DO nconvert -in tdi -out png -D "%i"
I hope it helps.

The "for - loop" is a good workaround, but I'd rather use nconverts v4.95 parameter -L but it doesn't work on my windows xp professional.
I think there is something wrong with this parameter.
My workaround is using unfortunately an old nconvert v4.79 ... but it works... see:

Do you have tried the 4.98?
