by default, if file exists, NConvert rename the output file

Hi. I'm also looking for this command.
I have a folder with many pictures, which I convert to a lower resolution and copy to my mobile. What I'd like to do is to only convert the files that have not been convertedf before.

An nconvert switch like xnconvert's "skip if destination already exists" would be great!

Thanks,
Zurdo.

Hi Zurdo. On Windows you could use batch file similar to this.

Code: Select all

@echo off
for %%i in ("C:\Source Directory\*") do (
if not exist "F:\Destination Directory\%%~nxi" start /wait nconvert.exe -o "F:\Destination Directory\%%~nxi" -resize longest 199 "%%i"
)
pause

You're welcome. It works only while your files have none of characters % # $ in their names.
