Introduction

The files tab lists the source files. File name, extension and path are listed. The file name will be preserved for the output, the extensions will of course change to match the output format. The extension of the input file is used to select the load function for the source file.

Select files for the conversion

There are multiple possibilities to add files for the conversion. The files are by default appended to the current list:

  • drag and drop files from any Windows Explorer window or some other file manager that supports the same interface as windows explorer
  • use the Add File button and select one or more files in the standard open dialog that is opened. Press SHIFT or CTRL to select multiple files (SHIFT for contiguous file selection, CTRL to select separate files)
  • use the Add Folder button and select a Folder. You can add images in all sub folders or restrict to the selected folder
  • right click on the files in Windows Explorer and select "Open with AZImage". This will open a new AZImage window and add only the selected files to the list
  • load a previously saved list

Once added, the files can be removed using the Delete button. Only the selected files will be removed. The list can also be cleared by selecting Clear List (the user confirmation is needed).

If the same files are to be converted later, the list can be saved by clicking "Save List" and entering a file name. The list can be later loaded and processed with another format. In the case one has started compiling the file list and has no time to start the conversion, the list is automatically saved on exit. It can be later loaded simply by clicking "Last List". The same procedure can be used to create a list of files to be used later in a batch process.

The files in the list can be previewed. By clicking on the "Preview" button you open the preview window. The files are displayed scaled to the size of the preview window. The preview can take up to some seconds, depending on the size of the files and the performance of the computer.
