Batch Copy Output

Batch Copy Output makes copies of the Master Files and all associated Sidecar Files and saves them to the destination folder. This is great to use an an archiving tool, copying the Master File and settings to an external hard-drive or other redundant storage location. A Copy batch can optionally import the images that it copies into a Bibble Catalog once the copy is complete. This is ideal if you want to copy images off memory cards to a Pictures folder, network drive or other storage location, while importing them by Refer to Original Locations or Refer to Original Files.

Copy Batches will ignore non-Master Files that are sent to the batch (because the sidecar files that are copied with Master Files contain all the information necessary for the alternate versions derived from that master.
