Can affinity Designer run an action like photoshop ?


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I have loads of wmf images I need to convert as Microsoft have stopped wmf from displaying,

rather than have to open each one, one by one select export gif and save, I wish I could record those actions, then apply the named actions to a chosen folder with the wmf files in, as one can in photoshop.

Is this possible ?

else how does AD carry out such mundane tasks on hundreds of files in a folder ?

In APh you would use Batch Processing for the bulk conversion of images, to those batch jobs also simpler macros (not the same level as Actions in PS) can be applied. - See:

For macros see:

☛ Affinity Designer 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Photo 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Publisher 1.10.8 ◆ OSX El Capitan
☛ Affinity V2.3 apps ◆ MacOS Sonoma 14.2 ◆ iPad OS 17.2

I have AD but not APh which I presume is Affinity Photo, but wmf is a vector file and I have it open in AD a vector prog.  I use Pshop for rasters.

Would I need to buy Affinity Photo just to convert wmf files ? Can I get AD to batch convert or not ? I can export individual wmf files from it, but batch convert would be quicker.

Yes only Affinity Photo offers that Batch Processing and macros usage so far. - And NO Affinity Designer can not Batch process a bulk of files!

@Steve1 On Win you can use for batch conversion also other free tools (just ask the Google search engine) ...

A very fast and good one is IrfanView here which also can bulk convert WMF into other formats ...
