export in emf or wmf
At the moment, the export function is only capable of exporting the cliparts into raster file format. Is it possible to enable the export function to export into vector file format like emf or wmf too? I have a lot of cmx files and I am unable to find a good converter. Can XnView fill the gap?
Re: export in emf or wmf
No, XnView cannot do vector conversion. XnView can read some vector formats, but it cannot write them.
Some more detailed info:
Internally, XnView uses bitmap graphics, only. With the help of plug-ins and tools like AFPL Ghostscript, XnView is capable of reading vector graphics. Actually, the plug-in reads the vector graphics and converts it into bitmap and then XnView uses that bitmap graphic for display and further handling. With that concept in mind it's obvious that XnView will never be able to convert one vector graphic format into another vector graphic format.
Batch conversion using Corel scripting
cmx is a Vector format of Corel and Corel Draw can export WMF and EMF. So you could let a Corel VB Script do the batch conversion. I've written up a VB script for Corel Draw 10 that allows for converting the images located in a specific folder with all its subfolders. If you are interested in the VB Script send me a Personal Mail.
