I'm being particularly dim ("no change there" my other half would say!).
How do I "point" DXO PhotoLab to the batch file? When I "Export to Application" in DXO it asks for a .exe file?

DXO is not that helpful; only allows .exe. Thank you for the detailed explanation which may work with some other apps I use.

@BPMH: I'm sure that @john30is right (I don't have DxO, so I don't know), but on the off-chance that it's something this simple, I'll show you how it works for Adobe Lightroom. Lightroom also "demands" an .exe file when setting up an external editor. This is the file open dialog when you try to add a new editor. It's preset to .exe.

 
But at least in the Adobe LR case, this is just a suggestion. You can change that dropdown to "All Files" and select your .bat. Like this:

Again, this is just Adobe, and I'm sure @john30 is right about DxO. In either case, good luck!
 

There is no way, unless DxO changes the export  to allow export to non EXE files. The only way is to remove the level of security on the apps folder which works but I am told could have security risks  (and also been told MS updates might take off the changes as well as they increased security on the apps at some point due to the risks as they were.

I always have Rasterise ON and set to 360ppi (the resolution the rest of my pictures are printed at).

Hello BPMH,
I just did this 'excercize' with the difference that i do not own an Epson 3880 but a XP-55. I can only confirm that the printing results are very different indeed. Cannot explain this, however.
 

Chris, Just tried it on the latest beta and no problem, works as expected! Thanks for checking in and consider this closed. Stay safe. Pete

Open an image, draw a circle, blur the circle with Gaussian Blur, clip the image to the blurred circle (you should now have a circular cut out of the image with blurred edges). If you print this image the blur is removed and you get a hard edged circular print, if you rasterise the image before printing you get a blurred edge circular print which is correct. Hope that makes sense!

Excellent work both of my issues sorted (Marquee not snapping and remembering Print Profile in the Print Dialogue)! My first print run just completed. Thank you.
