I did this as I realised it's going to be really useful. I popped in a JPEG and came back a moment later to find I have 75 PNGs. How do I restrict it to a single run? 😃

Automator and AppleScript are seriously underrated . It could make your life a lot easier.

You can choose that when setting the folder up, but I believe Desktop is the default location.

Did you pick the same folder as the output location? In that case each new file will automatically get converted upon its creation.

I have much to learn! 2 folders on the sequence now, and I have something really useful for quick batch conversion.
