Virtual copies of images, so that it will be possible to apply different processing parameters to the same source image, and export two differently processed images in one go. A really simple way of implementing this might be via a conventional symlink of the source image on the file system. RT’s second corresponding sidecar file could then point to the symlink but be a traditional file. - Right now, of course, this can be achieved by leaving RT and creating symlinks in the operating system, but it would be more convenient if this were integrated in RT.
User-definable export/output presets [for file format, file template/folder location, quality and Subsampling]. This would (a) make it much easier to switch, for example, between 8bit-JPEG and 16bit-TIFF exports without having to manually redefine all parameters and (b) should also make it possible to output multiple file formats [such as JPEG and TIFF in one go] simply by activating multiple presets in the GUI and having RT consecutively go through them when exporting. - Another possibility would be to provide some scripting interface for the export module which would, for example, allow to run Imagemagick shell scripts on every exported image.
As always, there’s the possibilty that I’m overlooking something that already exists in RT; in that case, please bear with me…
Yeah, this is one feature I do miss from LR. A somewhat cumbersome workaround that I’ve used has been to save a Processing File for the version I want to keep, then go back to it when I need to. That’s not nearly as convenient as I’d like it to be, though.
RT is maintained by unpaid developers who use their spare time for improving and developing. You should volunteer to implement things, then the changes that you get what you want to see will be higher. I never missed things like virtual copies.
Dear Karlheinz, don’t need to explain the obvious! I know that RT are developed by unpaid Devs. ok, don’t need to do that, I ain’t no naive nor an idiot.
It was just a question, you simple could answered no.
I might be missing something, but I think you can apply one preset to an image, add it to queue, and apply another preset, add it to queue again, and then export them all? A bit tedious but should be workable to me.
