Batch processing runs forever if parallel processing is checked

[guenni1972]

Hi,

i tried to convert 20+ photos with the batch processing feature. I left the checkbox for "parallel processing" checked. The processing run forever and my only option was to kill affinity photo V2 over the task manager. I used a self created macro which generally added all four "Auto processing" features (Auto white balance, Auto colors, Auto levels, AUto contrast).

To reproduce:

1.) Open New batch job
2.) Add photos
3.) Leave parallel processing checked
4.) Add the newly generated Macro described above
5.) choose jpeg as output format
6.) Choose a different folder for storage
7.) Hit Ok --> Baaaaam the operation runs forever and produces no output

If the checkbox "parallel processing" will be unchecked the processing works.

Here is my system info (unforunately only in german...):

Prozessor    AMD Ryzen 9 3950X 16-Core Processor               4.10 GHz

Hey guenni1972,

It went straight through on my Intel i9. However, I do believe that we've had issues in the past with Ryzen CPU's and Parallel Processing. I'll find the bug report and attach your info to it.
