Outputing to different folders

Cristiana2
I think I might be missing something as this should be easy to do. I would like to have different process recipies that output to folders on different places on my computer. For instance I might want a low res JPEG to be processed to a folder on the desktop while the TIFFS I want to remain in within the C1 file structure in the Output folder.

I can of course do this but each time I change the output location for one recipie it changes it for all recipies. I understand (I think) the advanced tab where you can create sub folders but this does not really address my concern.

Anyone know of a solution?

Thanks

Cristiana

    Cristiana,
    Look into the "Advanced" tab of the process recipe, it lets you customize the output folder to suite your needs.

    Thanks Drew. I do understand that I can set the output folder to be anywhere on my computer. The problem is that when for instance, I set the JPEG recipe to go to a folder named Low Res on my desktop, C1 sets the same output folder automatically for the other recipes in my list.

    I want to have a JPEG recipe that always goes to the LowRes folder on my desktop and have a TIFF recipe that always goes into the C1 output folder without having to reset the output folder each time.

    I hope this explains it. I do use the Advanced Tab in the process recipe area but maybe I'm missing something??

    Thanks, Cristiana

    Cristiana,
    Take another look at the advanced tab. In each recipe you can designate a specific folder.
    5 Different Recipes = 5 Different Output Folders, all different from the session default.

    Drew, maybe you could explain the difference to me between the "Root Folder" and the Path in the Advanced tab. You are correct that I can set the Root folder to any folder I wish. This stays fixed and I can have different Root Folders for different recipes. However, in practice the file follows the path that I have set in Output naming box in the "Output to" selection. This seems to where the issue is in that when I change that it changes the output destination for all the recipes.

    Thanks

    My mistake, I think I've gotten it to work now.
