The Batch Window 25 Processing Order It is often helpful to control the order in which files in the batch are processed. For example, if you have a very long file and a few shorter files, you might want to see the results of the shorter files before waiting for the results of the long files to finish. You can sort the batch to make this easy. When processing files, Cleaner always starts at the top of a batch and works its way down. Therefore, placing files at the top of the batch causes them to be processed before files lower in the batch. For details about processing order with Watch Folders see "Watch Folders" on page 232. To sort the batch list: 1. Click a column title in the Batch window to sort the batch list by that column. For example, to sort files alphabetically, click the Project title bar. You can click the Reverse Sort button on the right side of the column header to reverse the sorting order of the list. Sort Order 2. To sort files by their status, click the Status title bar. 3. To change a file's priority, double-click the file's priority to display the Priority menu. 4. To change a file' priority, double-click the file's priority and choose the priority you want to assign to that file. The lower the number is, the higher the priority for the file to get processed. By default, Priority is set to 5. 5. To sort files by their destinations, click the Destination title bar. This is useful, for example, if you need to encode and upload a group of files in your batch to a folder on a server before Cleaner continues processing the rest of the batch. Skipping Files If you want to exclude an item that is in the Batch window from being processed, select the file and choose Batch > Skip Selected Projects (a K). This marks the file so that Cleaner skips it the next time you process a batch.
