Batch Convertion-Set in a "one-button-macro-action"

[Gerald_Ire]

The Batch Conversion in XnViewMP has lots of good function. It would be lovely/perfect to combine afew standard fuction under "one button macro-action" - instead of marking images and starting batch converter and running thru single options again...

Hi,
If I understood your request, it's automating the batch conversion, I talked about it here.
You can create a button associated with the script.

[Gerald_Ire]

Hi Franky, thx for reply. Yes that is the idea and you are not the only one... (regarding to your link in your post)
Q.: How do I get the *.XBS as a button into the ToolBar? Couldnt find the answer in your link/post. How did you made that pos.?

[Franky]

Hi

In the Settings/Interface/Toolbar, add --COMMAND-- and assign it an XBS file that you have created in Batch Convert.

[Gerald_Ire]

Hi Franky,

did a setup but it doesn't work

What I've done so far and I add some screenshots - for everyone who follows this idea:
I can add in Settings/Interface/ToolBar/... more than one "--COMMAND--" into (both) ToolBar. In this case it is the ViewMode.

Found as well in this window on the lower right "Set comman..." and "Set label.." option.
With "Set command..." I add *.xbs and *.bat saved files out of the "Batch Convert".

This is how it looks like in my "foo.bar" (my own ToolBar file):
...

Code: Select all

<!...the important lines  ... >
_cmd_=XBS_TEST;D:/XBS_TEST.xbs;D:/XBS_TEST.xbs
_cmd_=BAT_TEST;D:/XN_BAT.bat;D:/XN_BAT.bat
_cmd_=;; <!... this is not assigned to commands ... >

The "Convert"-button in the "Batch Convert"-GUI does the whole job, but the two buttons in the "ToolBar" don't...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Button XN_BAT.bat (the bat-file doesnt hold all options / missing is: iptc, transport file)
nconvert -dpi 260 -autocontrast -autolevels -o jpeg -q 90
...so does not work as intent!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Button XBS_TEST.xbs (the xbs-file keeps all the options)

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><XnView_script version="1.0" name="XBS_TEST">
    <Set_DPI x="260" y="260" keep="false"/>
    <Automatic_contrast/>
    <Automatic_levels/>
    <IPTC-IIM_XMP id_40="Test" id_105="XnViewMP FTP" id_120="test image xnviewmp ftp" id_122="Test" keepKeywords="true" replace="false" mode="1"/>
    <Output folder="D:/XnViewMP_target_folder" filename="{Filename}_{DstWidth}_{DstHeight}" case="2" startIndex="1" format="JPEG">
        <Options overwrite="0" orgDate="true" keepMeta="true" keepICC="true" keepFolder="false" keepParentFolder="false" keepExtension="true" delOrg="false" multipage="true" allPages="false" openExplorer="false" openBrowser="false" clearItems="false"/>
        <JPEG quality="90" progressive="false" optimizeHuffman="false" rebuildThumb="true" orgQuality="true" DCTMethod="2" subSampling="0" smoothFactor="0"/>
    </Output>
</XnView_script>

...could work as intent but I cat run it...

Where I am wrong with _cmd_=XBS_TEST;D:/XBS_TEST.xbs;D:/XBS_TEST.xbs

did a setup but it doesn't work

Do you have always the problem?

[Franky]

Hi,

The button opens the batch convert with the defined options but you have to start the conversion manually.

[Gerald_Ire]

Hi Franky, aaaah, ok...
Yes, if I add the --COMMAND-- in the ToolBar/Browser Mode... it actully opens the "Batch Convert" menu ... and yes, then I can press the "Batch Convert" button to run the script / convertion...

Thx for that and sorry for my missunderstandings...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

My idea was to add "--COMMAND--" in the "ToolBar/View Mode:
click on image (images) and using the simplest function (dpi, auto color, auto contrast, standard iptc, send by ftp ... ) in a *.xbs

... and this I cant get it run...

Q.: Could it work? Any hint?

[xnview]

so the same as browser mode in viewer mode?

[Franky]

I just put the same button on the View mode and it does not work, nothing happens.
On the other hand we can open the batch convert with Ctrl + U but without the defined parameters

[Gerald_Ire]

No, not realy the same:
The idea was in "viewer mode" to execute only a "standard *XBS" - with fixed : optimize, mark iptc, send ftp - that is hold in this "standard-xbs"
So there would be no need to reopen the "Batch Converter" - like it does in the "browser mode"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The "browser mode" version of the --COMMAND-- is good as well - never checked this out (thx)!
This might gives you the chance to change some options... if all the other options stays as intented (have to check this "plan b")

Slán!

[Gerald_Ire]

as Franky said in his post befor: it doesnt work in the "viewer mode"...

Thanks to your detailed description I can reproduce the problem.

So there would be no need to reopen the "Batch Converter" - like it does in the "browser mode"

so you would like to execute without opening the batch convert dialog?

Yes
It would be nice if it was an option
