Optimizing files using the NXPowerLite application
Launch the application and click on the "Add files" button in the top left of the window.
This will open an add files dialog like the one below. Simply browse to the files you want to optimize, select them and click 'Add'.
Alternatively, you can select and drag files from Explorer onto the NXPowerLite window.
Your chosen files will now be displayed in a list in the main NXPowerLite window.
Check that you are happy with the following:
- the "Optimize profile" - marked in blue. Determine the optimization compression strength. The default setting profile is fine for most purposes but you can create your own compression profile here too.
- the "Save setting" - marked in green. Choose whether optimized copies or backups are created, or originals are files replaced
- the "Create copy in / Create backup in" control -marked in Pink. Choose where newly created files or backups are saved.
When you are ready click the "Optimize" button marked red to start NXPowerLite reducing your files.
When it has finished you will see the results screen, showing how much it has reduced your files. There is a range of options for ongoing actions available for each file in the menu bar at the top.
If a file isn't reduced for any reason the details of why will be displayed below the file name in the list. View the full list of possible warnings/errors.
