Do NOT "ask" XnViewMP

Well, it is very good to 'ask'. But not XnViewMP. In Batch Convert, that is.

In Batch Convert there is a setting called 'When output file already exists' which defaults to 'Ask'.

When one has to convert many files and, let's say, 100 of them already exist on destination folder (because of various reasons) - 'Ask' forces us to answer to 'Overwrite?' question with 'No' 100 times.

Pierre, it is outrageous.

Please add a checkbox to the 'Overwrite' dialog saying 'Accept this answer to all conflicts from now on'.
If the checbox is checked, then the pressed button (Yes, No etc.) will became the overwrite answer for all files in the batch list.

If you want implementation details please drop a line.

Yes, I agree too and understand.

So that it would be like how Windows does it (the option it gives):

Sure! Of course! And more: I can live without the counter of conflicts (it needs a more complex logic - prefetching the file list in the target folder which can have subfolders etc.).
