Batch method conditions

Configure batch method condition When a batch is configured with multiple methods, it might be necessary to limit the use of some methods for certain files. The batch method condition window can be used to configure a pattern for including or excluding certain files. Any subsequent methods will still be executed on all files. Each method can have its own condition configuration.

To activate batch method condition, click the {if} button next to the Apply To field.
