MoveOriginalTo=

Command Line Examples

imagecom *.jpg prefix="my" moveoriginalto=x:\originalfiles\

imagecom *.jpg resizemethod=1/2x savein=x:\resized\ moveoriginalto=x:\originalfiles\

imagecom *.jpg resizemethod=1/2x savein=x:\resized\ moveoriginalto="x:\[source directory]\originalfiles\"

The MoveOriginalTo switch enable you to define the directory to move the original image files to after processing.

In conjunction to the recursive function, batch image commander allows you to save original files using the '[source directory]' macro. By doing so, all original files would be saved in the path within the source directory.

Note : This is equivalent to copy original images to a new directory and delete the original files in the source directory as such adding deleteoriginal switch would not have any effect.

Do not set moveoriginalto switch if you want to process the images using different parameters.

For example, if you want to create thumbnails and add text caption to the original files. You can achieve this through a two-step process.

Step 1

imagecom *.jpg resizemethod=1/4x suffix="_thumbnail" savein=x:\picture\thumbnails\

Step 2

imagecom *.jpg textcaption="Copyright 2002" textalignment=bottomright savein=x:\picture\ moveoriginalto=x:\archive\
