XnView Software

I'm new on this forum here, coming from Cologne, Germany. Sorry about my bad English, but I'll try to explaine my problems. I'm using the Ver 1.94.2 (2008) and would like to operate several jobs in one single action:

1) reduce jpg's size by percent steps
2) bringing jpg's to lower resolution
3) sharpen
4) creating IPTC data
5) rename files

So, I found for No 1) and 3) a way to create and save scripts under "tools" ---> "multiple convert". No 2) I didn't find yet - but I will, and 4) und 5) I also found.

Is it possible to operate all five steps in one single action by creating a script? And how does that work? And is it possible to do that for a complete folder, means several pictures in a batch mode?

Thanks in advance for helping und kind regards,

Gerhard

Hello,
First update your XnView version.

All in one step is not possible yet (xnview v1.97-3), but for at least 1, 2, 3, you can.

for No 1) and 3) you already have the solution,
For Number 2):
Mouse Select (or tag) several pictures (the same) \ "Crtl+U" for batch processing \ select in Output-Format:Options --> JPEG... quality, DCT method, etc... --> OK \

Then create and save you custom scripts for the future.

For item 4) creating IPTC data:
Mouse Select (or tag) several pictures (above transformed) \ "Crtl+I" \ Add Keywords ... \ Write All selected

For Item 5) rename files:
Mouse Select (or tag) several pictures (above transformed) \ Tools \ Batch Rename \ ...

So I think you have to do 3 steps .

But it is a good improvement request to have inside the "batch processing function" these 2 others functions (batch creating IPTC + batch rename), to do all in one step.

Thanks for that at first! Seems that I was rigth with my suggestion that it doens't work in one single step.
