XnView Software

I want to make use of Windows' Environment Variables to help with portability.

Example:

Under the Output tab, I select "Folder", and in the textbox use: %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\Converted

I want it to replace %USERPROFILE% with whatever path is in that environment variable,
which for the above example may look like:

C:\Users\Kacey\Desktop\Converted

Right now it outputs folders exactly as the string put in the path. It literally creates a "%USERPROFILE%" folder.

using Version 1.92 - windows x64 (Jul 1 2021) - Libformat version 7.91

currently you can't use env vars

Can you pls add it soon? It's super important for my usage.

See issue for current status and some details.

Thank you SO much!

I'm using XnViewMP 0.99.1
but this line that in xnview.ini doesn't work

OpenWith=%PortableDir%/GIMP/GIMPPortable.exe

Are there any tricks or did i do something wrong?

I installed XnViewMP 1.01 (Windows, Terminal Server) and we are using the ini file in the program files folder.
I've set the option to open XnViewMP to %USERPROFILE%\Pictures, but this doesn't work. It loads c:\program files\xnveiwmp instead.
I see that if I edit the path over the GUI, it is written into the ini file to the customPath entry. It isn't loaded within the program.

Is there any other syntax, I could set the path to each userprofile (or its pictures folder)?

The default pane at startup from the general options.
