2.

Unregistered users: A nag screen will appear. After 3 seconds, the continue button will become active. Click the continue button to be taken to the JPEG Japery main window

Registered users: The JPEG Japery main window will open

Select Root Folder


4.

First you must select the drive and folder that your files are on. Left-click down the folder tree to find the folder that your files are in.

Target Files


6.

Right-click on the file list. From the pop-up menu, select "Target All Files". This will display all files in the selected folder.

If you want to extend all file operations to include files in sub-folders, check (tick) the "Include Sub Folders" check box.

Note: For reasons of efficiency, files contained within sub folders will NOT appear in the main window file list even if the "Include Sub-Folders" check box is checked.

You can use the "List" feature ("Quick-Find/List" menu item) to list all targets.


File Sort Order


7.

You can sort your files by name, size, attributes or date. When you perform an operation on files, they will be worked on in the order that they appear in the main window.

For example, if you sort files by name and then list files using the "List" feature, they will be listed alphabetically.

Right-click on the file list and select the "Sort By Column" menu item to sort files.

You can target files by pattern, date and size. To activate these filters, click on the "Use Filters" arrow at the bottom of the main window.

If you are including files in sub-folders, the filters that you enter will be extended to encompass all files in your sub-folders.

filter files pattern

Example: If you only want to target .jpg files, check the "File Pattern" check box and enter a pattern of *.jpg

You can use a combination of the above filters to target files. For example, you could target all visible jpeg files smaller than 1 Megabyte that were created yesterday.
