XnView Software

I've received a request by Harald, a German XnView user and could really help him. Perhaps other people stumbled over the same problem and have a solution.

Mail to multiple recipients does not work
In XnView browser you can select images and then send them via e-mail (Tools > Send by emaill or context menu "Send by email).
In the dialog "Send by email" you can specifiy recipients. When specifying multiple recipients using the standard separator "semikolon" (;) and then sending the mail, Outlook 2007 will open up. But when trying to send the mail out Outlook tries to find a contact using the whole text (not the parts separated by semikolon). Sure enough, such a contact does not exist (e.g. "recipient1@abc.com;recipient2@abc.com") and you cannot send out the mail until you have edited the "To:" field in Outlook.

This handling is cumbersome, therefore I'd like to know what the correct way of specifying multiple recipients is. Is this just a problem of Outlook 2007? Or the way XnView passes the parameters to the mail client? Could people please check with mail programs other than Outlook 2007?

Hello Helmut,
For me the best way is to proceed by 2 steps and use an *.xbs custom script.

1-) Select or tag(for "multi-folders") Pics, ...Batch Processing, ...build your custom script (directory=4email, transformations etc...) and ...save it, and ..."GO".

2-) Open your favorit email client software, ...joint all Pics from "4email" folder, ...and proceed as usual....

I do this way (XnView & XnViewMP).


PS: It will be interesting to also have an option for .xbs script: Actions = Compress files/Pics as zip file

I'm just browsing and came upon this post . . . . In my case, I leave the recipients box blank and after preparing Subject and text message then hitting Go, I get directed to my email agent - ready for me merely to choose the recipients from my address book.
