A DAM would make me so happy. I'm using Irfanview plus directory management and it is a terrible workflow.

Ran a batch of 1000 photos, failed around photo 960 this time. Grabbed the dump, but it's 55 gigs (yikes!). I've held onto it for now, but not sure if I want to try uploading that. Did a second batch of 1000 photos, this time lowering the maximum RAM I allowed Photo to use to 32767 megs (out of 64 gigs). This time all 1000 photos finished processing despite me forgetting and leaving the parallel processing box ticked. I think that's consistent with a hardware problem (maybe RAM being flaky?), which makes it my problem and not Affinity's problem--and probably unrelated to the problems ashers is reporting.

Will do. Although I just retried and this time it hard locked my computer. At this point I'm beginning to suspect a driver or hardware problem, and Affinity may just be exposing the issue with how much memory/CPU/bus pressure it puts on the system when running through the batch processing.

I'm running into the same issue. I have ~2200 files (~50 gigs) that I'm trying to run through. Eventually, Affinity Photo locks up. I kill Affinity photo, restart it, requeue the files that haven't been processed yet, and restart the batch processing with the unprocessed files. Eventually...it hangs again. Details: Affinity Photo 1.8.3.641 Parallel processing is OFF Batch process is simply to open an NEF (Nikon Raw), apply auto levels, auto contrast, auto colors, auto white balance, then export to jpeg resizing to 1/2 of the original size on its longest axis. Each NEF is 5600x3728, 14 bit lossless compressed raw, typically 20-25 megs. JPEG settings are resampling: Lanczos 3 Non-separable, quality 85, embed metadata is not checked. Typically somewhere between 200 and 300 files will complete before Affinity Photo becomes unresponsive and I need to end the task. Running Windows 10 Pro 64 bit, on an i9-9900K with 64 gigs of RAM and 1 gig of swap. Additional information: crashpad_handler.exe seems to stop working simultaneously with Affinity Photo going down.
