Options in files
Posted: Sun Jan 14, 2007 8:41 am
Hello,
I'm still trying to use NeatImage's command line to do some automatied batch post-processing. I think I'm pretty close to the finish line, but now I'm stuck because it turned out that I really need to change NI's options on a per-call-basis. This would be no problem if the options could be saved to and loaded from a file (preferrably a bit human-readable), but currently the options reside solely in the registry, in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ABSoft\NeatImage and HKEY_USERS\<key>\Software\ABSoft\NeatImage, where I don't really want to change them on a per-call basis.
It would be great to have buttons 'Save options to...' and 'Load options from...' in NeatImage, along with a command line parameter to load a specific option file. I think there would be many usages for a functionality like that, and it should be easy to implement.
By the way, I second the feature request for a smarter sharpening algorithm. It is clear that stronger noise reduction requires more sharpening applied afterwards. It would be great if NeatImage made direct use of its knowledge of where and how strongly noise has been reduced. Especially users of the standalone version (like me
) really need that kind of feature. The problem of finding suitable amounts of sharpening for each situation is a major reason for my need of being able to change the options.
Best Regards,
