Processing is typically done on a file by file basis, with each file being selected separately. Alternatively, entire folders may be processed, merging all files into a single, new file or placing individual processed files in a new folder. Another, potentially faster, method of processing is through the use of user-definable input and output folders. Choosing the “Process Input Folder” menu item causes A/S to scan the chosen input folder for TEXT files and begin processing them, placing the new files in the output folder. If no output folder is defined, a new folder can be created. Hold down the option key when choosing “Process Input Folder” to process all files in the chosen input folder. Be aware that if a file with the same name as the output file already exists in the chosen output folder, it will be overwritten with no warning. Input and output folders are adjusted via the Preferences window.
