file export

[rfuerman]

Happy NY!
PW 8.0.447
a) file | export -- export raw file <DSC02560.ARW> to jpg with same name creates <DSC02560.ARW.jpg>
b) file | export exports correctly (except as to a)). Note that the export dialog does not have the [apply] button. Cf: Transform | file | export - this transform does not export to jpg. Note that the export dialog *does* have the [apply] button.
Thx, Bob

Setting up the Export in a batch process. How to get the 'Export' transform in the image browser for the batch?? Menu | file | export dialog disappears when selected file is exported. HA - I see - use the export dialog on the transform menu! This is less than clear. Suggest that menu | transform | file | export might be labeled as ..file | batch export ?

The Export transformation has an Apply button but the Export command does not -- this is because the Apply button only works with transformations as it is the same as OK followed by propagating the changes to any affected downstream transformations.

Possibly in the main menu Transformation/File should be renamed Transformation/Batch for clarity -- lots of doc to rewrite however.

I fixed the extension problem for the next release.

to rename multiple <DSC02560.ARW.jpg> image files to remove '.ARW' :
go to DOS command line; change to the folder with image files; enter :
ren ??????????.ARW.jpg ??????????.jpg <ENTER>
