Prepare Asset

With this node you can prepare the asset so that it has a thumbnail and complete metadata.

It has the following configuration options:

File to prepare: here you can specify the file to prepare. Select the pencil to open Expression Builder.

Previews etc

Generate Thumbnail: if you select this checkbox, a thumbnail of the file is added.
Generate Always: if you select this checkbox, the thumbnail is generated in all cases (for example if you changed the JPEG quality). If you leave this checkbox unselected, the thumbnail will not be re-generated if it is already available.
JPEG quality: here you can specify the JPEG quality of the saved thumbnail.
Generate (Separated) Preview: if you select this checkbox, a separated preview for the file is added.
Generate Always: if you select this checkbox, the separated preview is generated in all cases (for example if you changed the anti alias setting). If you leave this checkbox unselected, the separated preview will not be re-generated if it is already available.
Anti Alias: if you select this checkbox, the separated preview is generated with anti-alias.
Enable Extra 'no update' output: if you select this checkbox, an output Not Updated is added to the node. In case the node did not update the asset, this output will be followed.

Calculate Area Coverage: if you select this checkbox, the metadata for the file is completed with area coverage information. This area coverage is only by (regular) metadata processing when it is directly available in the file itself.
