Thank you jmac, the point is obvious to most, I'd even call it a no-brainer. At a minimum it should have the ability to DISABLE the feature, or better documented workarounds. It's more than frames, of course -- not all statements are clip/frame related.

Stainless's dismissive attitude is not unique, it's one which has plagued software engineering for decades. The result is we often see software designed with limited regard for how others will use it because it's often designed by people with limited regard for others.

I'll check out ImageMagick. My first attempt with it didn't run, but I didn't troubleshoot it when I learned it wouldn't solve the subdirectory problem.

I appreciate the responses.
