Process filelist

[Hacker]

Hi Pierre,
Could you please add an option for XnView to read filenames from a filelist? A filelist would look like this:

c:\long name\file.jpg
c:\long name\file2.jpg
d:\another dir\another file.bmp

A parameter like "-l <filelist.txt>" or "-list <filelist.txt>" could be used.

TIA
Roman

I highly support this request.

A parameter like "-l <filelist.txt>" or "-list <filelist.txt>" could be used.

And the parameter "-l" would be available, so Roman is well prepared - as usual!

This is really a good and very important suggestion, Roman. Currently, scripting is a bit hard since file lists cannot be passed easily. Adding this will make nconvert much more flexible and mighty and scripts simpler.

I think the mid- / longterm consequence is having both an option for including a file list and another one for including a process list. The process list will be a plain text file containing processes which should all be applied on the image files. The process list will make things more flexible and make sure that files do not have to be saved and opened over and over again for applying several processes. This should improve performance and improve quality of the results since nconvert can apply all processes in one step without intermediate saving. (Currently, if you use a lossy image format quality will decrease whenever applying a process and saving).

Any news on this?

As far as I can tell (looking at -help), there is still no option for this.

I'll add this option in next release...

After a long time - thank you!

However, when I execute

Code: Select all

nconvert.exe -l listfile.txt

all files are processed correctly but at the end I get an error message saying:

Error: Don't know how to read this picture (listfile.txt)

Any ideas?

TIA

Hi,
You already can do this kind of thing in XnView by slide-file.sld
And you have juste to put you file liste:
c:\long name\file.jpg
c:\long name\file2.jpg
d:\another dir\another file.bmp
...
At the end of this .sld file.
(Timer = 0 or 2 or more)

--------- slide-file.sld -------------
# Slide Show Sequence
Timer = 2.000000
Loop = 0
FullScreen = 1
TitleBar = 1
Fit = 0
StrechVideo = 0
High = 1
CenterWindow = 1
ReadErrors = 1
RandomOrder = 0
ShowText = 0
Text = <Directory><Filename> <Width>x<Height>||<Date>||ISO <ISO> - F<F> - S <Exposure>||Focale <Focal> <Focal>||<Make> <Model> <Flash> <Flash>||
BackgroundColor = 0
FontName = "Courier"
FontBold = 0

Well, in the original post I meant NConvert of course.

Yes, but maybe Nconvert can generate and launch this kind of file With a futur parameter -slide_list <filelist>?
It's only a suggestion !
