[Fixed] Quick Converting files from var. folders in browser flat view results in wrong named folder structure

Post by porg »

1) GraphicConverter > Menu > File > Browse Flat > Single Folder:

Code: Select all

/Users/jondoe/Documents/Web/designdriven/media/work/
2) In the flat listing I selected those files:

Code: Select all

/Users/jondoe/Documents/Web/designdriven/media/work/Event-Equipment-Management/Equipment Rent 0b then add equipment.png

/Users/jondoe/Documents/Web/designdriven/media/work/Event-Equipment-Management/Equipment Rent 2 add to shoppingcart.png
3) And used a QuickConvert with the target set to "Other Folder", when prompted I chose:

Code: Select all

/Users/jondoe/Documents/Web/designdriven/media/exports/mixed-selection-from-gc-browser-in-flat-view/
4) Batch outcome:

a) Preferences > Convert > General > Section Convert & Modify: Copy folder structure is OFF

✅ Creates a flat file structure as expected.

b) Preferences > Convert > General > Section Convert & Modify: Copy folder structure is ON

ℹ️ Expected: Folder structures created at chosen "Other Folder" destination.

❌ Actual: A broken mix of both worlds: "Chemicals…" files got into root. Other files got exported into wrong named folders "ement" and "n":

Code: Select all

/Users/jondoe/Documents/Web/designdriven/media/exports/mixed-selection-from-gc-browser-in-flat-view/n/Employee File v2019 like HRSW Design Variant 1a.webp
/Users/jondoe/Documents/Web/designdriven/media/exports/mixed-selection-from-gc-browser-in-flat-view/n/Employee File v2019 like HRSW Design Variant 1b.webp
Note: I can stabily reproduce both outcomes 4a and 4b. So this is a reproducible bug.
On your side try to reproduce with a similar filepath structure.

✅ Build 5651: Now works correctly both when copying folder structure or when saving files flat.
