Hi! This is my first post. I do not know where exactly to post this, so sorry if this is a mistake.
I would like to suggest 2 changes:
1) There is a variable for the filename generation in the output settings ("#") that adds the number of processed images. The problem with that is that if you choose to do a sub-folder processing, the counter is updated in a random order (see attached picture):
I would love a feature that allows to reset that counter for every sub-folder (let's say "%" or something like that), so that every subfolder analyzed has its own counter. The current implementation is especially useful when you only work with one folder. Even more, I've tried the use of the # counter with a single processor, and multiple processors configurations, and the result is the same (maybe just add the feature for single processor in case there are problems with multi-threading?).
2) The main page (https://www.xnview.com/en/xnconvert ) features an old Linux screenshot. It really looks awful. If the front-end developers could please spare some time, effort, and update that image it would be nice for us Linux users (maybe too update the Windows and Mac images too?).
Thanks in advance, I just discovered this program and it's really useful.

Re: New count variable for output filename and new screenshot for Linux in main site
Your suggestions totally resonate with me—I've been there, dealing with those pesky filename counters going haywire in sub-folders. And don't even get me started on that outdated Linux screenshot on the main page. As a fellow Linux user, it's kind of a bummer to see our OS represented with an old, janky image. Updating it would definitely give the site a fresher vibe. But hey, it's awesome that you're speaking up about these things. It's those little tweaks that can really enhance the user experience for everyone. And if you're still on the lookout for solutions, Huntly AI (at https://huntly.ai/employers/developers/front-end/html/) might just have the talent you need to spruce up that front end.

That could be the expected behaviour, but as an option as some users might need the present numbering.xnview wrote: ↑Sun Sep 03, 2023 6:21 am I would love a feature that allows to reset that counter for every sub-folder (let's say "%" or something like that), so that every subfolder analyzed has its own counter.

you would like that counter restart with 1 on each subfolder?
And maybe a pop-up when clicking Convert 'Always test with copies of files!'...

I think you can get that with the following Output tab settings, at least for my folder structure, if you can follow it:Ronanscotts wrote: ↑Mon Apr 29, 2024 12:47 pm I would love a feature that allows to reset that counter for every sub-folder (let's say "%" or something like that), so that every subfolder analyzed has its own counter. )
This is the result:
And these are my test files, delete the files in the Project_output folder, then load the Project_input folder on the Input tab using Add folder. Seems to work for me...
