Script call for batch processor should behave like script call to renamer

[ubacher]

The new scripting access for the renamer allows an empty preset name:

Preset Name: The name of the Renamer preset to run.
If you use an empty string for this parameter, IMatch displays the standard Renamer dialog box and the user can select a preset to run or make other modifications.

Could we have the same behavior for calling the batch processor. Would be consistent and convenient.

Implemented for 5.3.2

A big jump from 5.2.18 - do you mean 5.2.2? 

[Mario]

No. 5.3.2 is correct. I upped the minor version number from 2 to 3 and the build number starts at 2 again.

Fine!

OT: sometimes I read in the IT-world (Intel, Android and so on) from names instead of numbers for versions like "panther, Andromeda, Sandy, Jelly Bean ...".

Also in the automobile-industry like "Opel Omega, VW Passat, Ford Mustang" and so on.

I was lately in a hotel, and the rooms called (and were written) instead 244 "Zugspitze" or "Bodensee". Mutch better for guests to remember, I thought.
I guess, in the IT-world something like this is not desired?!

That's typical marketing bla-bla. Put too many people wearing black clothes and hipster glasses into one room and you'll end up with things like "JellyBean" to name a software version.

I'll stick with numeric version numbers like 5.2 or 5.3 any day, thank you. Everybody knows that 5.3 is newer than 5.2 - without the need to look it up somewhere.

That is a good argument!  Thanks.

names instead of numbers for versions

The use of names for Windows did not last long. It seems that Microsoft learned the hard way what Mario has known all along.

Put enough folks in black clothes with hipster glasses and white ear plugs into a room and you'll end up with rubbish like that

Ouch! That hit home. Due to my bad hearing I have to wear white ear plugs just to be able to understand what is said. They only come in white.   

[Mario]

You're exempted. Unless you also wear black clothes and hipster glasses

Hmmm, Richard ....  do you? 

[Richard]

I wear a black sweat-suit. Does that count? No hipster glasses though.

All joking aside. I am sure we all can visualize the persons of the type to which Mario refers. It is akin to something designed by a committee. It is supposed to do everything but in fact does nothing well.
