Hello,
some days ago I updated IrfanView to version 4.36. Soon I realized that having the $ sign in the output directory path when batch converting causes the following problems:
The problems only occur in the batch conversion; saving an image via "File -> Save as" works fine. Simply a rollback to version 4.32 (which I used before) solved the problem, nothing else I could think of helped.
OS and hardware:
- Windows 7 Professional 64 bit
- CPU: i5-2500K
- 8 GB RAM
- GPU: NVIDIA GTX 660 Ti
- Crucial M4 SSD & Western Digital WD5000 HDD
Please let me know if the problem is me or if it is really the new version.
Cheers
some days ago I updated IrfanView to version 4.36. Soon I realized that having the $ sign in the output directory path when batch converting causes the following problems:
- the amount of the $ signs in the output path is divided by half, rounded up; e.g. if I want to save some batch converted images (the extension doesn't matter) to D:/$$$$/ they will be saved in a newly created folder D:/$$/ instead
- if the path of the "$-folder" contains an umlaut, a new folder with different character encoding (UTF-8?) will be created instead; e.g. D:/ö/$$$$/ becomes D:/ö/$$/; trying to save to D:/ö/ (without $ signs) does not cause any trouble
