Dopus 12 commands

Hi There,

I'm having trouble with this command:

Image HEIGHT=90 WIDTH=100 CONVERT=jpg QUALITY=110 as "{dlgstring}"

From local HD to FTP site, with Opus 11 works great but updated to Opus 12 don't work?

I use it a lot there are few others that don't work, but I use this command a lot so I at to downgrade back to Opus 11.

Hope I've posted this right place, if not sorry.

Thanks in advance.

That command seems to work here. What isn't working for you?

Note that it will write the new image to the destination folder, if you have a dual display or multiple windows open. If you expect the new image to be in the same folder, add the HERE argument to the command.

(Also, QUALITY is a percentage from 1 to 100 so 110 doesn't really make sense, but doesn't seem to make the command fail either, at least here.)

Hi Leo,

Thanks for reply, all these years first problems I have had also trying to save dual display as file & Time sort seems not to save anymore?

I have dual display it will write the new image to the destination folder local HD to local HD, but not local HD to FTP in Opus 12, it will however when I downgrade back to Opus 11 works fine?

I thought at first I backed up my full configuration v11 then restored it to v12 so I deleted whole Dopus from my system and installed Opus v12 the made a new button with Image HEIGHT=90 WIDTH=100 CONVERT=jpg QUALITY=100 as "{dlgstring}"

But still error.


Like to stay with the latest DOpus but just can't do without the above and save current format seems not to save anymore.



Using image conversion with FTP as the destination will fail because the file cannot be re-opened to write the EXIF data into it. (FTP doesn't allow that kind of thing.)

This was a problem on Opus 11 as well, but Opus 11 didn't report the failure while Opus 12 now checks for it and tells you if it went wrong.

FTP is only really suitable as a destination for things which can write the entire file in one go, which won't always happen for image conversion if something like EXIF data has to be updated as a second step.

Just Downgraded back to Opusv11.19 and have no problems with any of the above, as soon I restarted my PC and ran Opus v11.19 all the saved formats for certain folders are there and new button with Image HEIGHT=90 WIDTH=100 CONVERT=jpg QUALITY=100 as "{dlgstring}" works?

I have used DOpus since Amigo days, so not new to config to my hearts content. I have buttons setup for everything you can do with images to external apps to convert music formats etc.

Just wanted you to no I'm not new to DOpus.

Thanks again and hope to sort these couple of things out?

It "works" in Opus 11 because Opus 11 silently ignores the part which fails (writing the new EXIF data to the file).

Image conversion wasn't really designed to be used with the output written direct to an FTP site.

We might be able to make it detect this situation and output to a temp file which is then written to the destination, but I'll have to look at the code to see how feasible that is.

Thank you looking into Image HEIGHT=90 WIDTH=100 CONVERT=jpg QUALITY=100 as "{dlgstring}" for me.

I still have the other problem save dual display 'saved formats for certain folders' don't seem to save?

Please start a new thread with details of that problem and we should be able to help.

Please include a description of what you're doing (e.g. opening X type of window, clicking on Y and then clicking Z to save a format), and what happens vs what you're expecting.
