Negative conversion of multipage tif files

is there a quick way to select a multipage tiff file and have ALL the pages convert using the 'negative' function (Image\Map\Negative - type of conversion) and remain with the same everything else - including file name and location. Files are black and white, Group 4 compression.

Maybe drag and drop the file on a script file which was set up to do this. Or a right click option from within the XnView browser. Which right now will do this to only the first page of a multipage tiff and will delete the remaining pages.

If a script file can do this - please provide me with a working sample script that the file can be dropped on and which will convert it to its negative.

Here is the NConvert script I got from the process which only did the first page and deleted the rest:

nconvert -npcd 2 -size 256x256+0 -ctype grey -corder inter -out tiff -negate "H:\GovtBids\TDP BY NSN\1560+\1560-01+\1560-01-068-8093 160D512000 160D512000-113\160D512000+.tif"


Using XNview v. 1.66 on XP Pro SP2 with XnView installed at "D:\Program Files\XnView"

TIA for any help on this
