Skip files of the same name when duplicating batch conversions to avoid reloading files repeatedly

Post by szfz »

For batch conversion, if you choose "Skip" when the output file already exists, the program will load the file being converted before detecting whether the file with the same name already exists in the target folder and then perform the skip action, instead of comparing the file names first and then loading the file being converted after there is no file with the same name, which will take a lot of time. This repetitive loading process is very unnecessary after a program crash or when performing the conversion again after a stop.

It does so for me too, I've had to manually remove the items from the list. I came on to post about it, but see it's been mentioned here already.
Version 1.8.6 64bit W10
Certainly for filenames that don't use meta info from the picture I think it would be trivial, for those that do I presume there will be several options to approach the skipping without much overhead.
