I have RIOT 0.4.6 with IrfanView 4.28. It is a great addin.
I use the Batch conversion frequently. However I can find no option to overwriting or deleting the original files! I would like a Save As.... option within Batch, so I could give the converted files a different name, and retain the original. Have I missed how this is done? If not, could it be added to the next upgrade?

The optimized images go to the specified Output folder.
Open Settings on top and you will have there options for overwriting, deleting originals.
Thanks for your reply. However, Settings does not give me the option of providing the RIOT processed file with a name different from the original, and also save the original. My only choices are: overwrite existing files; delete original file when complete; keep original date/time; and report file size changes.
Have I missed something?

You can't rename the output files, but you can save them in a different folder and use another utility for renaming. In the future, renaming will be also available.
Thanks. I shall look forward to the renaming option in a future version.

Hi there, as I've posted already at "Batch optimizing" topic 2 months ago, a mask for the destination file name might be a good solution (as used e.g. by Nero for naming the particular MP3 files when grabbing an audio CD). For example, "%n%" for previous filename, "%e%" for previous file extension etc., so that having set "%n%_riot.%e%" or "%n%_small.%e%" as the default destination and processing e.g. "IMG23421.jpg", RIOT would propose "IMG23421_riot.jpg" as the default output name. Would be nice and helpful.
With regards,
Piotr
