    command line substitution for /scan

    I am not sure if this is a bug or a feature request...
    Command line substitution does not seem to work for /scan.
    eg for:

    i_view32.exe /scanhidden /convert=c:\scanned\I_$U(%d%m%Y).jpg

    #2
    There seems to be a more general problem with using /convert from the command line. Using additional placeholder options doesn't seem to be working.

    The following example works fine:
    i_view32.exe "test.jpg" /resize_long=1280 /aspectratio /resample /jpgq=80 /convert=E:\PhotoTest\out\$E36868-$F

    but I get strange results if I try to use additional placeholder options:
    i_view32.exe "test.jpg" /resize_long=1280 /aspectratio /resample /jpgq=80 /convert=E:\PhotoTest\out\$E36868(%Y%m%d)-$E36868(%H%M%S)-$F

    Similar things happen using the additional placeholder options for the $U placeholder.

    I am using 4.00

    My workaround is to rename afterwards but it would be nice to do everything in one step.

    Cheers,

    Sean

      Try putting the parameters with the odd characters - $, %, etc. - inside quotation marks. The command line has ticklish spots.
      Its: Belongs to "It"
      It's: Shortened form of "It is"
