Single files and whole directories that you want to convert have to be listed in the list of sources. Depending on whether you want to do a simple conversion or more or less complex processing of your images, you can activate additional effects. Thanks to the ARexx-support these can be of nearly unlimited complexity. The results are then saved in a directory and in a format of your choice. On demand fxCONV can also adapt the file suffixes for you.
The options in detail:
Input
Add all files and directories you want to convert and/or process
into the source list. When adding directories via "Add source", just
leave the file field empty in the requester.
Effects
Activating "Perform effects", the pictures will get processed
before being saved again. Therefore you can give a scaling in percent
and a rotation in degrees. If you tick "Use ARexx-script", fxCONV
temporaraly will open a project in fxPAINT for every image so you can
use all effects on them via ARexx. As fxCONV then executes
ARexx-scripts in a closed box, every fxCONV-compatible script has to
end with "FX_EXITBOX". For examples on how to make your
fxCONV-(un)usable script compatible, see the sources of the scripts of
e.g. "Border_filmproj.rx" and "Tool_CenterPos.rx".
Output
Under "Output dir" you specify where the converted pictures shall
be saved. ATTENTION: Equally named files will be overwritten! Choose
the format you want to output your files in at "Output format". When
choosing JPEG, you can additionally set your desired quality. If the
suffixes should be adapted to the new format, activate "Adapt
suffixes".
