Saving a BATCH JOB

[DNA Pianist]

Hi

How can we Save and then reload a "Batch Job" ?

I have a couple of different Batch Jobs that I have to do on a regular basis.
It would be far easier to save the setup, than having to check all the correct boxes again.

 

Cheers

Hi DNA Pianist,

Welcome to the forums

Unfortunately there's no option to save Presets for Batch Jobs currently, however this is something we may consider adding in a future update!

Thanks Dan...
It would be very useful!

+1 one for the ability to have a preset for batch jobs. I currently use it anywhere between 10-20 times per day. Having that preset will help massively. Thanks.

I've also been using lots of this feature and getting the settings every time again is taking quite much time.

Can we get Batch Job templates?

Agree, having the ability to save a batch job would be super helpful and a time-saver, which is why we use the batch job.

+1 as well. I use batch jobs for compressing and resizing images. Would love to see a "set short/long side to xxxx pixels" option as well so that landscape and portrait images can be resized in the same batch job. Right now my process is to manually select all portrait images from a folder, input the dimensions, jpg quality, resampling algorithm, then repeat this for all the landscape photos. Batch presets would help a lot with this.

If you are wanting all the images to be resized to say 400 pixels for the Height of the Portraits and 400 pixels for the width of the Landscapes then this will work. It will take the images on the left and resize them so they look like the right.

I'm surprised it is not possible to save the initial setup of a batch job. It would be a time saver to have the format and sizes set to go, then define the to and from.

I was able to make a Keyboard Maestro macro to get the basic setup entered. It does all to this point:
