v41 - picture conversion window - description: keep original

[masterjp]

In the Conversion window, there is a checkbox labeled "Keep Original." I find the description is a bit misleading if you're not familiar with the program or don't work with images very often. Instead, I might rename it "META-DATA" or "EXIF Data."

It's not for metadata, but to keep original file

'Keep Original' mean original size or what do you mean?

'Keep Original' mean original size or what do you mean?

'Remove original file' will be better?

[masterjp]

Now I understand what you mean with 'keep original'.

I would describe it with 'keep original file'.

Then it's self-explanatory to me.

'keep original file' or 'Remove original file'?

[Kadet]

I think if it's going to be confusing, maybe it's better if there was no choice and always kept the original.

[masterjp]

People who work with images professionally or who are passionate about photography in their free time would never delete the original files after converting them. After all, the main reason for converting them is often to upload them more quickly to the Internet (including social media) or to share them with family, friends, acquaintances, etc.

'keep original file' or 'Remove original file'?

wording should be like this:
- remove - a non-destructive action that removes an item from the current list,collection,etc.
- delete - a destructive action that permanently deletes an item, eg a file

it is fine to delete the original as part of the workflow,
but the command should be 'Delete original', not 'Keep original'
