oldPIC format and pp.exe file to convert

[lalberts]

Hello,

i have an old DOS-box which runs a good old measurement software and the screen output are saved in a *.PIC file.
but none of the formats which xnview or irfanview can handle.

I have a own dos pp.exe file to convert those files to a *.pcx. then it is fine to load it within xnview
and do whatever we want.

how can I make my "plugin" or "read-script" for those files?
I want to double click the *.PIC and the conversion should run before the image comes to xnview as a pcx.

somewhere into the options and run scripts..?
what i tried did not run because xnview first want to open and then run the pp.exe?

i am not a computer genius.. as you may have recognized.

thanks for your help

The only way is to make a plugin with PluginSDK
You can perhaps send me some samples, too?
