Description Unknown 2010-09-01 10:55:15 UTC
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.0) 
OS:                Linux

btw. my Gwenview version is 2.5.0., but I cannot select this in Bugtracker, the max is 2.4

When selecting batchprocessing/resize, then selecting files from several different folders, then selecting overwrite all, the resulting files are all written into the first folder found, overwriting those that are in the folder but leaving all other folders untouched. 


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Select files from several different Folders, select overwrite all.

Actual Results:  
writes all the files in the first folder found and leaves all other folders untouched.

Expected Results:  
overwrites every single file in all the folders since I selected "overwrite all"

It's not writing the files in the first folder found, it's writing the files in the target directory (there is a field that defaults to the directory of the first picture selected). That is indeed problematic for processing files in different folders since you can on ly set one directory target..

I'm just wondering if it's not more kipi-plugins related than gwenview related?
Comment 3 Unknown 2010-09-02 01:55:38 UTC
This may be, I filed this here because it said "Gwenview and KIPI-Plugin integration". I have not tried this with other software that uses the KIPI plugin. (offhand, I do not know any)

On the matter of the directory, I would have assumed that once overwrite (or anything else, for that matter) is selected, the full path of the original file is transmitted to the conversion and used, for each file individually. Thus why i wrote the bugreport.

I guess the problem with the default target folder is on the gwenview side. When using kipi-plugins from kphotoalbum, the default target folder is always $HOME. 

As for the behavior of overwritting,  I guess that is totally the job of kipi-plugins.
