Stokestack Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 I followed the instructions in the Help file, but I can't process a batch because the OK button is greyed out. I have "authorized" the destination. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff stokerg Posted February 22, 2022 Staff Share Posted February 22, 2022 Hi @Stokestack, Click on the Authorise button, next to Save into original location, then on the window that pops up, click on Authorise and you'll then be able to click on the OK button and start the batch job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokestack Posted February 23, 2022 Author Share Posted February 23, 2022 Thanks for the reply! But I did that... Quote I have "authorized" the destination. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff stokerg Posted February 23, 2022 Staff Share Posted February 23, 2022 Hi @Stokestack, The fact the Authorise button is still clickable, points to that it hasn't been clicked. Once authorised, that button should be greyed out, as in my attached screenshot and the okay button clickable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stokestack Posted February 23, 2022 Author Share Posted February 23, 2022 Thanks, but nope, just a normal directory under my local home directory. I'll try it again on my other system and see if it's an anomaly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 What happens when you click the Authorize button? Also, are all the input files in the same directory?

Stokestack Posted February 24, 2022 Author Share Posted February 24, 2022 It presented a file dialog and I pressed OK or whatever the confirmation button was. Yes, all the files were in the same directory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iconoclast Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Could the image files possibly be "read-only" protected? Don't really know, just an idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Bruce Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Are you perhaps going from JPEG to JPEG and trying to overwrite the files in the current directory? I am not sure that would work.

The only one I have is more of a question than a solution: on my Mac, I cannot duplicate the blue outline around the "Preserve spect Ratio" box next to the "Save as JPEG" format item, so I wonder why it is there in your screenshot. Is this is maybe a Windows only thing?

Stokestack Posted February 26, 2022 Author Share Posted February 26, 2022 Thanks for the replies. I'm on a Mac. I was going from PNG to JPEG. I'll try again when I have access to a second system, on which I've never tried batch processing before. I'll record a screen grab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
