I have a small 200x200 slideshow and I need to convert my set of large/wide/tall pictures into this exact format so they are not stretched/squashed when displayed on my web page. I've tried NConvert, but found I could not get what I want. I then tried XnView and it Batch Processing does give me the results I need, but I want a batch file that I can integrate into my build environment. Here is what I do in XnView Batch Processing:
1) Add a Resize operation using width=200, height=200, Keep Ration=CHECKED, Fit Over (W or H)=CHECKED, Follow orientation (switch W/H)=UNCHECKED, Only Decrease=CHECKED, Only Increase=UNCHECKED, Resample=Lanczos.
2) Add a Crop operation using X=0, Y=0, Width=200, Height=200
When I click go on my image which is 3008x2000 I get a nice 200x200 image that was cropped correctly to the left side of the wide picture and it is NOT squashed.
However, I click the Export button to generate the NConvert batch file and run it on the same file, it does not work. The resulting image is 200x132 therefore when it gets displayed in my slideshow, it gets expanded to 200x200 and it looks bad.
1) Does NConvert support the same feature set as XnView?
2) How can I configure NConvert to honor the Fit Over (W or H)=CHECKED option?
I'm using the latest version of both tools (Nov 18th, 2011).
Thanks for your help

Does NConvert support "Fit Over (W or H)" features?
