ok im figuring it out bit by bit, but i ran into a problem when i create a second watch folder in the monitor, using the same folder as before to create a different resize task to a different output folder, instead of going to the folder ive directed it to it goes to documents/pictures, yet the first watch folder of the same initial folder outputs to the resize folder that i created for that size.... what now

Hi,

Thank you for using BatchPhoto Enterprise.

For your setup you need to create three jobs, one for each image size & output folder combination. So for example create the following jobs:
* Job1 for Size1 and Output1
* Job2 for Size2 and Output2
* Job3 for Size3 and Output3

Now regarding your problem with the output folder set as Pictures: This is the default output folder so you need to edit the profile corresponding to the second job and set your output folder, then save the profile. Each Job has a different profile with your settings.

Hope this clarifies your concerns, let me know if there is something else.

Hi,

To learn the details about setting up Jobs for BatchPhoto Monitor please read our help:

For the second Job, you need to edit the profile associated and select the Output Folder as your destination folder, instead of Pictures.
