Important notes: - Only lower case options are supported (don't type any UPPERCASE letters) ! - Input file name (if required) is always the first parameter! - Use "" for file names/paths with spaces, example: "c:\images\dummy test file.j pg" - Write always the FULL paths for file names (incl. drive letter) - You can combine several options in one command - Wildcards supported only for /convert, /multitif, /panorama, /print, /info and /jpg_rotate - Maximal command line length is limited by Windows, so use shorter names/paths. - Most settings are loaded from the INI file. Using prepared INIs and /ini optio n, you can extend the possibilities. - IrfanView exit code is 0. If /convert or /print is used, there is 1 or 2 also possible, for load/save error.
