Hello Wolff:
Write a batch file making use of "replaceable parameters", as in the
following example:
------ begin DOIT.BAT ----
I_view32.exe %1:\Pictures\image001.jpg /fs
----- end DOIT.BAT ---
In the example above you run DOIT.BAT with a command line parameter where
%1 is the name of the drive letter. Of course you will want to add to your
batch file some routines for displaying error messages and syntax help also.
All the best,
Sam Heywood
