### 7.1.13 Functions/Batch Converting

This function is used for converting/editing whole picture directories.

Source Directory is the path that contains the pictures, which you want to convert. If you turn on Include Subfolders, the directories inside the source directory will be converted, too. Please not: If the destination directory is inside the source directory, you can’t use Include Subfolders.

You don’t have to convert all files in this directory. You can restrict the source to a certain Picture Type. For example you can choose to convert TIF-files only.

Convert Action defines what to do with every picture. You can select one of the existing actions (see chapter 4.26). It is possible to select No Action, if you only want to convert the file format.

Destination Directory is the destination for conversion.

Picture Type rules, what file format to use for saving. If the destination type is not ȀSame as import, you can directly adjust the settings for that file type. The settings made here do not affect the global file format settings.

All settings can be saved as preset (see chapter 3.8.2). If you turn off the switch Apply Folders, accessing a preset won’t change the source and destination directory.
