Why no "after get_resolution"?

Use the call command. Without using this command, the batch file will "replace" the current one.

In your script, you'd put call i_view.bat "%1" /info=info.txt.

cmd.exe /k is equivalent.

Here's part of the help text from call /?.

Calls one batch program from another.



CALL [drive:][path]filename [batch-parameters]



  batch-parameters   Specifies any command-line information required by the

                     batch program.



If Command Extensions are enabled CALL changes as follows:



CALL command now accepts labels as the target of the CALL.  The syntax

is:



    CALL :label arguments



A new batch file context is created with the specified arguments and

control is passed to the statement after the label specified.  You must

"exit" twice by reaching the end of the batch script file twice.  The

first time you read the end, control will return to just after the CALL

statement.  The second time will exit the batch script.  Type GOTO /?

for a description of the GOTO :EOF extension that will allow you to

"return" from a batch script.
