Hello everybody,
what must I change when I will only convert files where is "_wm_" in the name ?

Now I use %device%%in% -ext png -ext jpg -ext tif but then all files are converted ans a file names _original is theire (which I not want).

Thanks for your help
Micha

Hi Micha,

It sounds like you want "*_wm_*.png *_wm_*.jpg *_wm_*.tif" on the command line.
However, you won't be able to use the -r option when processing
files with specific names like this.

What I have suggested will work on Mac/Linux, but apparently
Windows handles wildcards differently.  There should be a similar
method that would work for Windows.

I'm duplicating this post because it went to the wrong thread:

An alternative is to add a -if option to your
original command, so it looks  something like this:

Code:

... -ext png -ext jpg -ext tif -if "$filename =~ /_wm_/" ...
