Command line options
Posted: 02 Nov 2020, 01:43
Hello,
I am evaluating this SW, I still have the status "common".
Now what I am trying is the following:
I have a folder with lets say 2000 Pictures of 30 different sets with different amount of pictures each set.
Sets are named
- Set001_001.jpg … _031.jpg
|
- Set030_001.jpg … _025.jpg
I want to make preview Sheets of the different sets at the beginning of the folder.
- !Sheet_Set001.ptx
|
- !Sheet_Set030.ptx
My hope was that PTM was smart enough to detect where one set starts and ends and then creates separate preview sheets for each set. I understand that this is not so easy to make in code.
So my second idea was to do this separation myself. I.e. I would mark all pictures in the MS Explorer and send them via Batch to the PTM, giving them directly the right set-name.
Currently this seems not to be feasible. or I have not understood the command line options well.
I have tried as follows.
"C:\Program Files\PicturesThumbnailsMaker_64\PicturesThumbnailsMaker.exe" D:\picturefolder\subfolder
or
"C:\Program Files\PicturesThumbnailsMaker_64\PicturesThumbnailsMaker.exe" D:\picturefolder\subfolder\Set001_001.jpg D:\picturefolder\subfolder\Set001_002.jpg D:\picturefolder\subfolder\Set001_003.jpg
but both options did not create anything. There is no error-message
-> Is it because I still have status "common" or did I make a mistake somewhere?
Thanks, Gonzo
