I'm not quite sure how I stumbled onto this.  
I had some idea in mind that is now rapidly becoming Quickfilter button.

But I did happen to find this.  
The idea was to make a button that converts a bitmap image with today's date as the first part of the filename that resides in a remote directory not currently displayed to a png also in the same remote directory not currently displayed.

```auto
Image CONVERT=png FROM "lib://Documents/somepath/{date|yyyy-MM-dd}*.bmp" TO "lib://Documents/somepath"

```

Yeah, I abandoned the idea soon after in favor of a Quickfilter button.  
And yes, I understand that nobody knows what my end goal really is with this.

But here is the bug.  
The button is shaded out unless a file is selected in the Source, which naturally has nothing to do with the paths of the image conversion. Those tabs are not present at all.

Yeah, I don't know why anyone would want to do this either, but the code exists.

Try starting your button with

```plaintext
Set NOOP=success

```
