XnView Software

To reproduce, copy say 10 image files F of size to a temporary folder T. Then batch convert F to T selecting skip and you'll find they are processed slowly and the end log reports them being loaded but the save action skipped.

The problem is that the output filename is only known after reading ...

'Automatic crop' is in Batch convert, and in edit mode

This continues to be a problem for me. If you're converting 10000 images and have to stop it, then to resume it you'll want to do the same images again but skip the existing target ones.

... press Ctrl+C, then Ctrl+V to copy the image; the thumbnail doesn't display.

2) Press F5 to update and it should display correctly.

Blender 5.0 (open source) allows HDR visualization of HLG and PQ encoded content.
Google's libultraHDR allows to convert Gain Map images to PQ or HLG.

By default I can only select a unique folder for all images in all folders.

Use Batch Convert, and select "Source Folder" as the folder option.

with 'Batch convert'?

'Batch convert' has this feature but it's not always OK because it forcefully converts images
