Commandline rendering user presets ... ?

So ... 4 days later, not a single dev is able to explain, how user saved presets can be rendered via commandline ... ?!
Do we really have to do it all by ourselfs when it comes to this?

You didn't provide much information,

OK, maybe you missed the part where I wrote:

I would like to use the commandline renderer and I was successful with the build in presets of the filters. But somehow, I can't commandline render saved user presets of filters.

Is this enough information or do I miss something important?

and from what I see everything works as described in the help file.

No, actaully rendering a user preset is not covered in the help file and again, no, it is not working as described, because obviously user presets can not be rendered when using command line and posting here would otherwise be pointless if it would work as described.

Looking at the (FF)XML files confirm, that it can't be done natively and I would like to know if there is an easy solution for this. Otherwise commandline rendering would be pointless if only filter presets can be rendered.

You're rendering the default preset (#0) of the "Bill's Old Newsprint" filter which involves loading a standard image. You can try loading this particular preset via the GUI and you'll see the same result.

This is an other issue, but maybe you missed again the point I was writing about:

Somehow, the use of an image isn't working. I tried to commandline render a filter over an external image, but it doesn't load it, instead using the default livesaver image.

So, when I use a filter which involves an image I think it's obvious that I want to use my own image and not the standard one. While this is possible via Photoshop and Standalone, with the commandline renderer it's not possible, so I want to know why

Code
<Image value="O:\TEXTURES\cloudlet01.png" />

is ignored by the renderer.

<Image value="path_to_the_source_image.jpg" width="number" height="number"/>. Specifies the parameters of the source image to which the current filter will be applied.

So what? This is not the official place to ask for support.

Command-line renderer renders filter presets. I think it's obvious that you need to create a preset with a custom image before rendering it.
