Setting Conversion Preferences

Let's say you want to keep all your inline files in a particular format, such as .rgb. However, GIF images are easily inlined by all browser and are much smaller than RGB files. You can accommodate this with the conversion preferences.

Cosmo Create comes with a large number of conversion mappings already configured. It's possible that the conversion you want is already taken care of. Check the list.

To create a new conversion:

  1. Choose File > Preferences...

  2. Open the Conversion Preferences panel

  3. Click the Add button

  4. Enter the file type you want to convert from in the Original File Type text field, or drag an icon of the file type from the desktop and place it in the drop pocket.

  5. Enter the file type you want to convert to in the Published File Type text field, or drag an icon of the file type from the desktop and place it in the drop pocket.

  6. Enter the suffix in the Suffix text field.

  7. Enter the command line to use to convert the files in the Conversion Command text field.

  8. Click the OK button.
