Not all of the options are available as command line parameters. We will add more in the next release.
You can create a profile with your options though, and call that via command line.
For example:

Code: Select all

resize.exe /profile="my profile"
Depending on the image content and output dimensions, setting the file size can lead to bad image quality in some cases. Keep that in mind, especially when overwriting originals.

Code: Select all

"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\ObviousIdea\Light Image Resizer 6\Resize.exe"
When I Run This command in Command Prompt then it's run Light Image Resizer fine But When I Run

Code: Select all

"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\ObviousIdea\Light Image Resizer 6\Resize.exe /profile=coverart"
This command in CMD then it's returns "The directory name is invalid."
My Profile name is "coverart"
What the wrong I am doing

You need to enclose the path in double quotes as it contains spaces. This is also recommended for the profile name.
This should work:

Code: Select all

"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\ObviousIdea\Light Image Resizer 6\Resize.exe" /profile="coverart"

It means no profile with this name was found. You need to make sure the profile exists and name is correct.
You can check the exact name and/or rename the profile by clicking the "..." button, and selecting "Rename".

Are you adding your images via command line as well? In that case you can add the /run parameter to start processing directly.
Please see this reference for all the parameters: https://www.obviousidea.com/windows-sof ... arameters/

If your other question is related to command line use, feel free to post it here. If not, better create a new topic.
