Multiple Exports
You can configure SynthEyes to produce several exports simultaneously from a single operation using File/Export Multiple and File/Configure Multi-export. The multi- export configuration dialog lets you create a list of exports to be run. The multiple-export list will be used automatically, if it is present, for Batch exports.
The multi-export system uses the name of your sni file to create the names of all your exports. The exports get placed in the first of the same folder as the last single export you performed; in the folder specified by the default export preference folder; or in the folder of the scene file if neither of the above are available.
When the multi-export is run, the parameter dialog for the individual exports will not be shown, as with Export Again. Accordingly, you should pre-set the options you want for each export format, by running each export manually the first time and configuring their options.
If you are producing multiple different exports that have the same file extension (for example .py for Python, which is used for a number of applications), the exported files will overwrite each other, so you will lose all but the last without further direction. You have two methods to keep them separate: file suffixes and subfolder prefixes. Both options are set by double-clicking an exporter in the multi-export configuration dialog, bringing up a dialog that allows you to set the subfolder or suffix.
TIP: Use the subfolder method when exporters produce multiple supporting files, such as meshes, texture maps or vertex caches.
