Still fighting with batch process bugs...

[Massi]

Morning,

I can't batch process anymore now, any kind of command lead to the "thinking wheel", the program doesn't respond and I have to force it to shut down. In January I had the same issue, came here and someone said to turn the parallel process off in order to by-pass the bug; it worked and kept it that way because no fix was around. 4 months have gone and this new bug is happening for a few days now, yet no update available and wondering how can I deliver my client this 40+ pics batch without spending my morning to do it one by one...

def need an update guys

Have you tried it with smaller batches

E.g. does it work with just 2 images?

Also, is there a macro involved in the batch process?

[Massi]

I have a macro and sometimes (maybe 20% of the times I tried)  it's working with one image. Still, working with no macros or less images is not a solution, just another slooooow work around for a well known and crucial issue that's been around for quite some time now.

A few months ago I asked for any info about updates and fixes but I had no answer at all.

So again, any update to the software, still have 1.6.7 

[carl123]

The 1.7 beta is available.

It installs separately to the 1.6 version and does not interfere with it.

Make a copy of your 40+ pictures and try using the batch function in 1.7 (you will need to export then import your macro in the beta version)

It will do not any harm trying this and may save you some time

 

(turn parallel processing off as before)

[Massi]

ok thanks I'll try that. Any idea of what parallel processing is meant for anyways and what's the big difference when checked or not?

 

 

[carl123]

Parallel processing should make the batch job run faster but it's caused hanging in the past so always try it with it switched off if the batch job does not run initially
