Batch Convert and file paths (windows)

Post by uraeus1618 »

Giday mate,
Does xnview allow retaining of file paths during convert? I've got a big directory tree structure by category name filled with meaningless image file names. I'd like to be able to convert these files (resize) and have the output in the same directory structure but somewhere else.

I can't find an option that does this, instead the files are just dumped (nicely resized) in my chosen output directory. I also searched the forums. No mention.

Big thanks for for great work!

I think Batch operations with a "Retain sub folders" option would be really useful.
