Title: Batch processing Post by: Oldfox on January 31, 2013, 11:51:56 AM Ok, here the task.
I have 660 images in 48 folders. I have made a template to print 6 images/page with folder and image names. Is there any way to print the 660 images with the template in a batch with Qimage?

Is there any way to print the 660 images with the template in a batch with Qimage? Sure, just keep adding images. When the first 6 images have filled the Template, it will automatically start page 2 of six more images in an additional template, and so on for page three,,, etc. Fred Title: Re: Batch processing Post by: Oldfox on January 31, 2013, 12:20:26 PM I would have to do that for 48 folders. Is there a simpler way?

Are all 660 images different or are you needing to print 110 copies of the page with 6 images? Fred Title: Re: Batch processing Post by: Oldfox on January 31, 2013, 01:20:06 PM The images are all different. The number of images in a folder varies from 3 to 20. There are 660 images in 48 folders. Thats why I have the folder and images names in the template.

Not unless you copy all the images into one folder.Otherwise, I wouldn't think so; it's the same with any application, you have to open the folder(s) where the files are. I would suggest that as you load the queue, you save as a session or job at regular intervals in case something goes wrong.

I was about to add..... The beautiful part of Qimage is that it will allow you to load the images into the queue, from various folders at the same time. Simply load the images from one folder and when that is done, change folders and add those images. You can also create an Album with the 660 images to keep them together Fred Title: Re: Batch processing Post by: Terry-M on January 31, 2013, 01:40:18 PM Quote You can also create an Album with the 660 images to keep them together Of course, I forgot ::), I do that all the time.Terry Title: Re: Batch processing Post by: Oldfox on January 31, 2013, 01:46:30 PM I could do that. But then I would lose the information of the folder.
The 48 folders are results from scanning old negatives from 1950s. The folder name tells me something about the subjects and the approximate year, there is no exif info in the negs ;). So it vital to keep the folder name. Thx, for your help anyway. /fox Title: Re: Batch processing Post by: Fred A on January 31, 2013, 01:55:29 PM Quote The 48 folders are results from scanning old negatives from 1950s.

Use Annotated text or Floating text, and name the folders Use INFO including Path.... that will give image name and location. Fred Title: Re: Batch processing Post by: Oldfox on January 31, 2013, 02:02:50 PM Thats exactly what I have in my template.
I was thinking something like a call from the OS like this: qimage.exe "Drive" "Folder" "Template" for example qimage.exe "C:" "\scanned\folder1" "6_Square_Images" qimage.exe "C:" "\scanned\folder2" "6_Square_Images" qimage.exe "C:" "\scanned\folder3" "6_Square_Images" and so on /fox |
