Batch Processing Folders with Sub-Folders

[pummelfee]

Hello!

How can i tell Affinity Photo to batch process a whole folder with several sub-folders? If i choose a folder, the OK button is greyed out.

You must select specific files to open for your batch job. You can't tell Photo to process an entire folder.

Oh, i was afraid of that answer. Sorry, but this is not really a batch processing. 
Then i have to go with an extra app again and again and again... Affinity have so much funny features, but so much is missing that i already had 20 years ago with free software.

yes - please add sub-folders. Kinda useless otherwise (in production enviroments)

I was very pleasantly surprised that affinity photo offers batch processing. However, I regret that you have to select the individual files as sources. My suggestion would be that you can select a directory as the source for batch processing and then all the image files in it with all the subdirectories are processed. 
Batch processing without selecting a directory with subdirectories is like a motorised car with the accelerator on the bumper.

The batch processing feels more optimised at the software level than photoshop, but having to select images in subfolders 1 by 1 kind of negates the speed gains from the good codebase. Can we please get a checkbox to batch process a folder and any subfolders?

That's a good suggestion, but it will go nowhere posted here in an old topic in the Questions forum. Suggestions need to be entered in the Feedback and Suggestions part of the forums, where the developers and planners look for them.
