Export - Open in Other Application

[Destonian]

This is probably not a bug, YET it should work, and it does not. I would like to execute a batch file after completing an export. I have specified the batch file in the Post-Processing parameters of the export function. Now, I was thinking that it would pass the filename to the batch file (As it would pass it to any other 3rd party exe) the batch file would disregard it, as it would with any other paramter, and just execute normally, but it does not, in fact, it does not do anything? Any advice?

What version of Lightroom? And when you say "batch file", do you mean a .bat file in Windows, or something else?

LR2.' will be installing LR2.1 now, and post if the problem is fixed. Yes, I have a simple .BAT file to distribute work into seperate folders.

It could be the number of files you are trying to send to the bat file, and the limit on the cumulative length of file paths. Export to a folder with a short path, eg d:\test\ to maximize the number of files.

I tried to shorted both the image and batch file folders, but still experience same problem. I manage to hack a solution by creating an executable that calls the batch file. Not ideal, but it patches up the problem.
