Batch Convert Dialogue

[Brother Gabriel-Marie]

Hmmm, this isn't really a bug, but I don't know if you would call it an "improvement" - it has to do with the way things work, really.

Okay, so I have a handful of images that I run the batch-convertor upon.
I set them to resize and apply a new name.
So I run the convert process.

My beef is that the browser window does not populate the new images until I close the batch-convert dialogue.
I know the dialogue is modal, but (waaaaaa!) I want to see that it did it's job before I close out of the dialogue.
Maybe I want to go run the batch-converter again on those same files (and don't want to go through the parameters again), but I need to see that the results of the first round.

and if you open the batch convert as a tab?

What do you mean "open as a tab"? How do you do that? When I choose "Batch Convert" from Tools > Batch Convert, it opens a modal dialogue.

There is a way, albeit not an obvious one.

1. Go to 'Tools'
2. Press {Shift}
3. With the {Shift} pressed, click on 'Batch Convert'

Now you have the Batch Convert engine not in a dialog but in a tab. ...and you can do other jobs while the "service" is running.
