I had an image and I wanted a smaller version to email. I was looking at the file in the lister and saw 'Image Conversion' so I tried it. I expected it to give me an option to name the converted file and/or the converted file location. Instead it replaced the file. 'Undo' did not undo the operation. Is my original picture now gone? If so, I strongly recommend improving the interface here. I also tried to check the box 'Write converted images to destination folder' but it is greyed out. Why? That statement is ambiguous - it's not clear what is meant by the 'destination folder'. I now take it that the folder path listed just under the image is the destination, but why can't I edit it by clicking in the box? Why not label it? Why not offer an option for where the conversion should go?
Also, is there a way to create a function to resize a photo and save the resized photo in a specific folder (say C:/desktop/pics)? Thanks for the help.
The "Write converted images to destination folder" is greyed out if there's no destination folder showing in a lister.
You can edit the command which runs the Image Converter to remove the arguments HERE and REPLACE which will result in the conversion prompting you for a new filename (unless you are resizing and have checked the "add filename suffix" option.
Thanks. Can you tell me how I can view the Image CONVERT command in order to edit it? I don't see that info on the linked page. I understand how to make a new button but I want to replace the default behavior of the 'Convert Image...' context-menu item.
Maybe a DOpus dev will comment on my other issues, such as how to improve the interface. Why not show labeled 'Source' and 'Destination' paths? Why have the default 'Image COVERT' behavior to be 'replace' with the high chance of accidental overwriting rather than default to 'rename' which would eliminate that risk?
Also, why did 'undo' not undo my image conversion? Thanks.
You should then be able to navigate based on the screenshot below. Double click the Images group, select the Context Menu tab and double click the Convert Image... option.
(Note: My system may be fairly different to the standard install (don't have a basic install to look at here) but this should point you in the right direction.)
