    Reported problem with batch conversion/rename

    Discovered when using batch conversion on directory that contains text file will cause program to lose ability to output file but still continue processing.

    example files in directory (source):
    1.jpg
    1.jpg.txt <--- this is simple text file with "hello" inside.
    2.jpg
    3.jpg
    4.jpg

    Output result:
    x1.jpg
    ** the remaining files are missing **
    version: 4.36
    OS: Windows XP sp3

    Other discoveries:
    1. If the directory does not have the file "1.jpg.txt", it will work correctly without problem and convert all files required.

    2. If converting files manually, all files will work. Including the text file "1.jpg.txt"

    3. if doing batch and selecting everything EXCEPT the text file, all files will convert.

    4. if doing batch and selecting everything, and moving text file down to bottom of list, it would work.


    The attached file is an example of a problem configuration.

    When adding files to the batch dialogue, to avoid adding non graphic file types, select the graphic type you want, or "Common graphic files."

    It came as no surprise to me that an overwrite warning was shown when I tested this, but all three JPG were successfully converted to the output folder.

      in previous versions, it would still convert text file into .jpg.

      What I have also discovered in the current version 4.36 is that in the batch process, if I were to move the .txt file to the end of the list, it would convert everything.

      example files in directory (source):
      1.jpg
      2.jpg
      3.jpg
      4.jpg
      1.jpg.txt <--- this is simple text file with "hello" inside.

      Output result:
      x1.jpg
      x2.jpg
      x3.jpg
      x4.jpg
      x1.jpg.txt.jpg
