I somehow did this ages ago, but it all looks like Chinese arithmetic to me now.
I have read and re-read the instructions, but all of that %this and %that just doesn’t make any sense to me.
Could someone please type what my template should look like for the following path?
I just stumbled around and blundered into the answer all by myself.
In Windows (and I guess Linux also) just forget about the % business, copy/paste or type the path normally, then make sure to replace every \ with a / and you can send a file anywhere from the Queue, regardless of where it originated from.
I can sort of understand the % business so long as files are being sent back down the same path from whence they came; however, other than just typing in the entire path as I figured out I could do, what should the template look like when an image originated from drive A and is being sent to drive B?
Also, I can understand the %d1/%d2/%d3/%d4 where %d4 is the “root”
What if I have many more variables in my path, like eight or nine sub-folders deep; do I still follow the same basic principle except that %8 or %9 would then be the “root”; so, in theory, I could have a template that looked like %9/%8/%7/%6/%5/%4/%3/%2/%1/%f_RT ?
Thanks for reading and all help is appreciated.
Actually, I took them from the file browser tab (show date and time entry) of the setting menu in RawTherapee. I just assumed that if it works in the setting of date and time, then RT will recognise it anywhere. Does not seem to be the case.
Thanks ! Now it is beginning to make sense to me; or should I say sink into my thick skull…
So, %p3 is in direct relation to %d3; and, I can divert my path at any one of the %d by using the corresponding %p; and, %p at any particular point includes all of the %d up to that point so that each and every one of them need not be typed out.
