Batch conversion

[stevenormanx]

Is there a way to batch convert from .afphoto format to jpeg or others.  I have done a lot of editing work and all of my photos saved as .afphoto and now I would like to convert without doing one at a time.,

Hi stevenormanx,

Welcome to the forum.

 

Use File > New Batch Job, select your files that are stored in .afphoto formats, select the option to save as JPEG and specify the location they should be saved and click OK.

This did not work for me. I selected six png files as a test and followed the instructions above. The screen would not allow me access the OK button.

I have the same question, but for .wmf files.  Can any of the affinity programs do a batch convert of (say) .wmf to .svg?

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums, brotman

Simply, no.

Awwww, shucks and thanks for the welcome.  

Are you aware of any (preferably free) apps available at the Mac app store that CAN batch convert wmf to other image formats? I’ve tried a few but most seem to not work. . .

A batch conversation would be very usefull. I have created a lot of AFDDESIGN-Files and would like to convert them into printable JPG and PDF. Currently I do this file by file - which is time consuming (and boring). Are their any command line parameters like
 

Designer.exe [INPUT FILE] [OUTPUT FILE] -profile [EXPORT PROFILE]

Sorry, but I'm a Windows user. Perhaps a Mac user will know.

No, there are no command-line options like that.

But Affinity Photo can do a batch conversion to JPG for you. And it's on sale right now

Here is a workaround   Open Batch, select all photos, select location to save, select save as jpg but then also select the most benign macro that will essentially make little to no change to your photos - such as strip metadata or perhaps a very slight auto adjustment that wouldn't change the images all that much (if at all).  This will enable the "ok" button to where you can run it.  Unfortunately unless you select an actual macro to apply - it will not enable the "ok" button.  Which - Affinity....How hard would it be to make the export to jpg process a standard macro; and why disable the ability to macro an export? Makes no sense.  Not very.  Please fix. 🙂

It is not necessary to select a macro to enable the OK button; however, if in "Output" you have enabled either "Save into original location" & not clicked the "Authorize" button or selected "Save into:" but not specified a location to save into, the button will be greyed out.

If you can post a screenshot of your "New Batch Job" window with at least 1 source file selected we may be able to determine why the button is greyed out when no macros are applied.
