how2 actual filename from the filelist for parameter -text ?

Post by tom*de »

Hallo,

how can I get the actual filename from the filelist or the parameter -text?
"%" only works with parameter -o "i.g.: -o %.jpg", not with parameter -text "i.g.: -text %"

Code: Select all

nconvert.exe -resize 320 320 -text_font Verdana 14 -text_color 200 200 0 -text_flag bottom-left -text_pos 5 0 -text "%" -out jpeg -o "%.jpg" -L "TEST.LST"
only puts "%" into jpg, not the filename.

Any idea? Thanks, Tom

Are any time-variables or EXIF-variables available to insert it with "-text"

if anybody would like to know:

irfanview knows such variables in listfiles too, but i prefer nconvert and I solved the problem with totalcommander (button) and lst2run.exe:

Code: Select all

cmd70=%COMMANDER_PATH%\lst2run.exe
param70=?-e "%%COMMANDER_PATH%%\..\Foto\xnview\nconvert.exe" -s " -keepfiledate -resize 320 320 -ratio -q 85 -text_font Verdana 14 -text_color 200 200 0 -text_flag bottom-left -text_pos 5 0 -text #f -out jpeg -o "%T%%.jpg" \"#p\#f.#e\" " -l %L
menu70=nconvert: markierte Dateien konvertieren (320x320, Dateiname als Text ins Bild)
It converts all marked the files into target dir with options and insert each filename as text into picture. The disadvantage is that nconvert is started for each file (slower than nconverts internal -list)

Is it possible to give the text only a frame or a border instead of -text_back?
