'batch save path relative to current directory' removed?
In the previous version you could have batch jobs automatically put output in a subdirectory of where the original image was. This has been removed? Can we have it back? Now I have to remember to clear and re-set the dest directory each time I change which folder I am working in, to keep my outputs organized with my raws. Huge PITA and significant downgrade to my workflow

It still works, have a closer look...
For some unfathomable reason Corel decided to make the batch settings less intuitive.

As helpful as it is to know it still works, I thought it might be useful to explain how to make it work.afx wrote:It still works, have a closer look...

- Go to the settings for your output batch.
- Select "Source Folder" as the "Export To" setting. The field where you expect to enter the relative directory will become inoperative. That's what had me stumped for a while but it IS the right setting.
- The trick is then to select "Output Name and Location" in the list of Settings and enter your relative location in the "Save in subfolder" field. For me, that meant "../edited" which isn't technically a subfolder, but it worked.
