Batch Filter Image task
Filter

Description Lets you process only images that match the given condition(s). Step-by-step filtering images explained

Parameters:
Expression The condition for further processing. If the result of the expression is 0, ImBatch will skip the current image, otherwise the image will be processed by the following tasks.

 

Filter task works as follows:

If the result of an expression in the Expression field is 0, then the tasks processing of current image is aborted and a the processing of next image begins. You can use following in the expression:

  • standard arithmetic operators such as: +, -, *, /;
  • non-standard arithmetic operators: integer division (div), modulo (mod);
  • comparison operators: less (<), less or equal (<=), more (>), more or equal (>=), equal (=), not equal (<>), an also cmp operator, that returns 1, if left number is more than right number, 0, if both numbers are equal and -1, if the left number is less than right number;
  • boolean operators: 'and', 'or', 'xor' (exclusive or), 'not';
  • bitwise operators: bnot, band, bor, bxor, shl, shr.

Also you can use more than 100 additional functions in the expression. Most of them returns information about the image (width, height, bits per pixel, different EXIF/IPTC tags), information about the file (name, extension, folder, index, date etc). Other functions works with strings and date. All functions accepts and returns 4 types of data: number, date and time, string and boolean. For convenience, the name of the function ends with a letter, that indicates type of a value that it returns (N(Number)/D(Date and time)/S(String)/B(Boolean)). Also all functions, that starts with a "Get" don't accept any parameters and just returns some information (about file/about image/EXIF/IPTC). Functions that starts with a "Func" may require some parameters. The number and type of parameters can be recognized by a combination of letters after the "Func" (on the same principle as that for the return type). All string const must be enclosed in single quotes.>

Example of using:
The condition for images that have 'DCM' phrase in it name is as follows: Func_SS_StringHasSubString_B(Get_FileName_S, 'DCM')
