Description Warren Werner 2007-07-01 20:48:38 UTC

Version:           0.9.1 (using KDE 3.5.6, Kubuntu (feisty) 4:3.5.6-0ubuntu14)
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.20-16-generic

If I try to batch-resize images from various folders at once, I get problems: I can't save them each one into its own folder. Or I hvae to convert them folder by folder, or I have to save all the pictures into one single folder. 
There should be the possibility: "Save into same folder" or similar, so that You can batch-resize pictures from several folders in one step.

I came here today exactly for that reason! I think that batch operations should have an option to apply the transformation directly to those files, without the need of sending the transformed pictures to other folders. That would save me A LOT of time!

I back your wish up :)

I would like to bump this one up. I'm trying to batch resize all the unimportant photos in my collection, in order to save space, but I need Digikam not to move them to a single folder (the target).

Batch resize (and batch anything, to be honest) should have a "keep in original folder" option.

The alternative to this is to batch resize one folder at a time, but with hundreds of folders, that's impossible!

This feature is now implemented in digiKam Batch Queue Manager...
