[Bug 497594] Re: performance: check for existing files *before* doing the processing on a picture

 

@Ken

That is what I had in mind with 2. Some minor changes:

- I would store the session information in Phatchs user cache folder
- The session info should always be cleared if:
   - The whole batch process is done
   - The user does not resume a previous session
- The UI could be implemented like this if session info is present:
   1) Add dynamically a 'Resume previous session' checkbox to the execute dialog box, which is checked by default
   2) Same as above, but leave it unchecked by default
   3) After batch in the execute dialog box is pressed, show a separate 'Do you want to resume previous session?' YES-NO dialog 

@Ken, Jean-François Fortin Tam: Which of the 3 UI solutions above do you
prefer?

Status in Phatch = Photo & Batch!: Confirmed
Status in “phatch” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed

Bug description:
Binary package hint: phatch

Currently, if you uncheck the "Overwrite existing images" option, phatch still processes the image before trying to check if it should be saved or not.

I know this is not easy to fix, but ideally, when I have a thousand images to process and launch the batch job multiple times, it should just continue where it left off, without reprocessing images that already have an existing output file.
