rene Posted April 19, 2021 Report Share Posted April 19, 2021 Hello Community, is it somehow possible to use Daminion Server to Batch convert TIFF files and replace them with JPG files? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daria Kotilainen Posted April 19, 2021 Report Share Posted April 19, 2021 Hello Rene, You can use the Export to Folder option to convert your TIFFs and the reimport the exported JPEGs Kind regards, Daria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilfriedB Posted April 20, 2021 Report Share Posted April 20, 2021 17 hours ago, Daria Kotilainen said: reimport the exported JPEGs I am also hoping for the future that the export provides an option to automatically import the exported image. Not only when converting to another format like in Rene's case, but also for duplicating an image as a starting point to create several variations of the original image. (Version Control with check in, check out and Item Audit History does something similar, but it is a bit cumbersome to Save revision as, if you want to keep all versions visible in the catalog) Re-importing manually has the disadvantage to loose those tags, which are not written to metadata. One more thing, I would like to see with Export->Copy to Folder ... F7: Currently the Destination Folder shows the most recently used folder. An additional option "Use source folder as destination" would be very helpful. Also in the case of re-importing (as long there is not automatic way), because you only need to click the icon for Locate folder (of the original item) and press F6. Currently you need to search for the folder you exported to - and if you exported to the wrong folder, you can search for a long time 😞 . Also when browsing for another destination folder, it should locate the folder of the source file as starting point, rather than the most recently used.

Daria Kotilainen Posted April 20, 2021 Report Share Posted April 20, 2021 Hi Rene and Wilfried, Feel free to set the export folder to Auto-Rescan to automatically import the exported files into the catalog Daria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot about it, because I normally don't use it, since I usually want to decide, when a scan should happen, but in these kind of situations, it might be helpful.

I have reasons for not to use Auto-Rescan with the upper level folders and for the lowest level, I need to remember to set the option. So it's only a minor improvement compared to pressing F6.
