Running Blat in the automatic mode allows sending images by email immediately after processing without any interim actions by the user.

Please note that the external application is called up after processing every image in the automatic mode. Thus, each processed image will be sent in a separate email.
Let's demonstrate the operation of Blat in the automatic mode.
Since here we'll attach only one file to the email (unlike the example with the manual mode), let's change this parameter in the bat file.
More details on the contents of the bat file may be found at the beginning of the example.
Now we return to IDPhoto Processor and set the Execute after processing setting for Blat.
The [post-processing] parameter has appeared next to Blat in the External tools list. It informs us that the automatic running after processing is enabled for the application.
text
Execute after processing setting can be set only for one application at a time. If you assign Execute after processing first for one application and then for another one, then at the moment of setting the parameter for the second application, it will be automatically disabled for the first one.
Let's select several images and run the processing process, for example, through Process to File.
Further application behaviour depends on the processing process settings. Please note that they are located in the File menu > Options > Processing tab.
Thus, if the Show processing window setting is set to Always, the setting dialogue will be called up for each photo being processed.
With the Show if necessary value set, the setting dialogue will be called up only for photos with processing requiring a user's participation.
If the Never value is chosen, the dialogue will not be called up.
More details may be found in the General Settings section.
When executing the batch file, IDPhoto Processor will display the waiting window for the completion of the external application operation.
The wait window will close automatically after the operation of Blat has been completed.
As we have run processing for several images, IDPhoto Processor will display statistical report upon the process completion. Please note that after processing of a single image, the report will not be displayed. The report informs on the total number of images processed, on the number of those processed successfully, of those on which no face has been detected, and on those for which the processing has been cancelled.
Let's check the email after the IDPhoto Processor and Blat operations have been completed. As planned, 4 emails have been received to the email address indicated in the bat file, each containing the processed image.
