That is the only way I know to launch exiftool, ffmpeg, etc. without typing the whole path.

As with Linux, you may add your directories to the Windows path. That way, you are able to install your files anywhere and have a more organized system. Steps:

1 Search env.

2 Go to Environment Variables…

3 Edit path under user variables.

4 Done! Now, commands can be typed without the full path and extension; e.g., gmic instead of long-path-to\gmic.exe.

Do you know windows analog for linux’s %f , %F, %u and %U by chance?

PowerShell has more scripting capabilities than CMD. For reference on CMD or PowerShell, I often go to https://ss64.com/.

@snibgo’s IM site https://im.snibgo.com/ has lots of CMD scripts on image processing. Be warned: they tend to be too much for my poor heart. I think bash is so much easier.
