I've been working on a sk in in inkscape and found a handy trick to make things less tedious when testing out a skin. Inkscape only exports png files, so I need to convert them to jpg before I can see them in LFS. Irfanview can batch convert from the commandline.

First make a .bat file. Right click in your skin folder, select new>text file. name the file whatever you want, but remove the txt and put bat.

Next open up the bat file in notepad, I have XP and when I right click on the file and select edit it automaticaly does this. Type in:

Quote :

"C:\Program Files\IrfanView\i_view32.exe" "C:\<enter path>\XFG WIP.png" /convert="C:\<enter path>\XFG_WIP.jpg"

"C:\Program Files\IrfanView\i_view32.exe" This should be the path to the irfanview program, if it isn't change it to what yours is.
"C:\<enter path>\XFG WIP.png" This is the path to the file you want to convert.
/convert="C:\<enter path>\XFG_WIP.jpg" This tells irfanview what to convert the file to (based on the extension) and what to name it, and more importantly where to put the file. Make the path your skins folder.

Now, save it and close notepad. Export your drawing from inkscape (as the filename you put in the batch file) and double click the .bat file you made and then open up LFS and check out your skin.
