.bat file not working as intended

[cutebanana]

hello,

I have a small problem wich is the following:

when I try to execute the command:

c:\Irfanview\i_view32.exe c:\images\scv.bmp /pos (550,801) /hide=15
through the command line it works perfectly
yet when I try to use it in a batch file with the following content:

c:\Irfanview\i_view32.exe c:\_sc2\scv.bmp /pos (550,801) /hide=15
echo test
pause

the batch file stalls on the first line, it does show the image but the rest of the .bat file isnt executed. It does execute the rest when I close irfanviewer.

EDIT:
some additional info:
running windows 7 (64 bit)
and Irfanviewer 4.28


any idea's on how to fix this?

Hi,

try to use the start command for that:

start c:\Irfanview\i_view32.exe c:\_sc2\scv.bmp /pos=(550,801) /hide=15

Whenever you want to execute your commands asynchronly.

1.
The correct syntax for this parameter is:

”/pos=(x,y)”


2.
[...] the batch file stalls on the first line, it does show the image but the rest of the .bat file isnt executed. It does execute the rest when I close irfanviewer.

That’s the correct behaviour and not a bug or something else.
