Organize your files

Keep original Mac assets separate from exported files

The problem

An image can be exported at several sizes and audio in several formats. Mixing outputs with originals makes it easy to feed a previously compressed result into the next task.

A practical answer

Use distinct Originals and Exports folders and explicitly choose the output location in GJ File Manager. Retaining a reliable source makes another export possible.

Step by step

  1. Store original material separately and record its source in names or project notes.
  2. Check the conversion queue's input paths so you are not using an earlier export.
  3. Choose a separate project Exports folder, with purpose-specific subfolders when useful.
  4. Open completed outputs to inspect them; return to the original input when making another version.

Know the limits

Separate folders are not a backup. Repeated lossy encoding can lose more detail, and renaming an output Original does not restore its quality.

Common question

Must I duplicate the original for every export?

No, but retain a reliable original and arrange an independent backup rather than relying solely on folder separation.
