Hello

I continue my previous messages here in english

I am trying to insert the "Creation Date" of a list of pictures inside the pictures as a text

After having made several tries (seeing how xnview does with conversion/Batch)
here is what I am trying to do:

SET PRG="E:\Program Files\XnView\NConvert"
SET SRC="IN-##.jpg"
SET DST="OUT-##.jpg"
%PRG% -npcd 2 -size 256x256+0 -ctype grey -corder inter -out jpeg -n 0 23 1 -text "<Creation Date [d/m/Y H:M]>" -o %DST% %SRC%

But it does not run, it inserts the text "<Creation Date [d/m/Y H:M]>" itselft instead of the date like XnView does

I certainly make mistakes. But, I do not know what parameter(s) I can use to do the same thing like xnview does

Thanks

Currently nconvert doesn't support <...> info like xnview

Ok, thanks
I will try something else

I will try to develop a BAT which retrieves the DATE/TIME of the file and then insert it as a text in the picture using Nconvert

With a batch file this might be possible. There's ways to extract parts for the date and string them together, an example which uses the currrent date:

Code: Select all

set CREATION_DATE=%DATE:~6,4%-%DATE:~3,2%-%DATE:~0,2%

I did something like that
