Title: Batch processor does not process file - says so but not why.
Post by: ubacher on April 07, 2015, 04:37:03 AM
I have a file which the batch processor does not process - see screen shot.

How do I go about investigating the cause of this.?

I have 16 files, only this one does not process.
Preset I use is also attached.
( It generates a dummy file, no image (well, a 1 pixel image), text,
file name starts with the text stored in an attribute. Sample attached)

Detailed information is written to the log file in this unusual case.
Search for W> or E>.

No errors or warnings in the log file!
( Started fresh, ran the batch job, looked at the log file.)

I then tried to run it a second time and it ......encountered an error and needs to close.
I will log this under bugs.

Further investigation: It is related to the preset. Other presets work ok.
The file failing is somewhat bigger than the ones which process OK.
I will email the jpg in case needed.

Before anything else, try to process the same file with a different preset. If this works, re-create the failing preset.
If the failing preset works with other files, try re-saving the problem file in your image editor. Maybe it's corrupted.

If the problem persists, open a bug report and send me the file in question and your preset. If it's a RAW, also state the WIC processor and version you use.
Please expect a couple of weeks before I look into this.

Found how to make it work:

I was resizing the image to 1 pixel the long side. This because I do not want an image, I just want
a canvas with text on it - like a title page etc. This worked for all other files, used many times.
This one particular file failed. I changed the side to 2 pixels and it worked.

Does not explain why, nor why there was no error message.

As far as I'm concerned you need not spend time on this unless it intrigues you.

When I developed the preset a size of 0 was not allowed - this why I used 1.
I just tried it with 0 and the particular file still fails.????
