0.94.1 - batch conversion - does not keep folder structure

Post by masterjp »

XnViewMP will not keep the folder structure in batch conversion, if you select one folder only!
If I select two or more folders, everything is fine!

I have the following folder structure:

Source folders:

C:\Test
Demo_1\
Pictures1
\ (pictures files)

Demo_2\
Pictures2
\ (picture files)

Demo_3\
Pictures3
\ (picture files)
Destination folder:

D:\Test


I did the following steps:

1. Start XnViewMP Browser window
2. Open the folder C:\Test
3. Mark and select the Folders "Demo_2"
4. Start batch conversion
5. Select keep folder structure in output tab only and the settings from the lower screenshot
6. Start batch conversion!

Result:

XnviewMP does not create the "Demo_2" folder in the destination directory "D:\Test"!
It directly creates the subfolder "Pictures2" within the destination folder!
That is wrong!

XnViewMP should create the Demo_2 folder within the destination folder "D:\Test" and then create the subfolder "Pictures2".

If I select two or more folders for batch conversion, XnViewMP correctly create the folder "Demo_2" within the destination folder "D:\Test".

Even if you enable 'Keep parent folder'?

Batch convert when using 'Keep folder structure' search for common base path, so if you choose Demo_1 & Demo_2, base path is c:\test, and if you choose Demo_2 only, base path is c:\test\Demo_2
