> Is the batch selected? If you mean have I defined a batch action, yes. But no matter which of the three Converts I choose, the No Batch Action still shows and I still get no changes in the files . When i choose to convert to a sub folder, it does create a folder called Converted Files and it does put the selected files into the folder but with no change in the files. I have tried insert text, a change in the brightness\contrast, and a crop batch actions. I have trashed the preferences The other possible bug..the Open Recent->Clear Menu still does not work. The Browse Recent-> Clear Menu DOES work. keith On Thursday, October 23, 2003, at 12:13 AM, lemkesoft@t-online.de wrote: > Am 22.10.2003 15:12 Uhr schrieb "keith" unter <sailorman@cfl.rr.com>: > >> Thorsten, >> >> The "browser supports now direct file conversion with actions" is a >> super new addition to GC. >> >> However, I can't seem to get it to work.

When I double-click on the text tool, the "text" window appears for a few seconds (with transparent title bar, and highlighted "OK" button but nothing else visible) and the cursor is the spinning beachball, then it quits.

Have not figured exactly under what conditions this occurs, but using GC 4.8, on a Mac iBook 600mghtz with 256 mg of memory, running OS 9.2.2, lots of memory set aside for GC 4.8 --- every once in a while after editing JPEG photos, the image will save as a totally black picture. --- weirdly, the preview thumbnail looks OK. Have not had time to figure if I can resuscitate the black boxes, but it sure is unnerving. Also, I think 4.8 is more unstable than recent previous GC's, even though I have pruned my extensions pretty thoroughly in recent weeks. (Doing a clean install after a total system failure tends to have that effect.) I'm not a digital image professional, but have taken and catalogued close to 10,000 photos in the past three years with GC, so these are not novice errors. (Stupid errors, maybe, but not a stupid novice.) bruce potter -- Island Resources, 1718 "P" St NW # T-4, Washington, DC 20036 Fone 202/265-9712 fax 202/232-0748; E-mail: <bpotter@irf.org> -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- EPA Environmental Quality Award Winner for 2003!

Does it work now? If yes -> there is a corrupt font in the system. Thorsten

Thorsten -- Left out another, similar sort of error that occasionally happens --- sometimes onle one-third of the THUMBNAIL gets saved? not reduced size, but a cropped image --- usually a one-third vertical panel of the whole thumbnail. Will try the 4.9.6 beta, but it will be a while before I can report back --- I'm traveling again bruce At 8:08 AM +0100 10/26/03, lemkesoft@t-online.de wrote: >Am 25.10.2003 21:59 Uhr schrieb "Potter at Island Resources" unter ><bpotter@irf.org>: > >> Have not figured exactly under what conditions this occurs, but using >> GC 4.8, on a Mac iBook 600mghtz with 256 mg of memory, running OS >> 9.2.2, lots of memory set aside for GC 4.8 --- >Please use the latest beta: >http://www.lemkesoft.com/beta.html > >What happens now? > >Thorsten > > > >To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to: >graphicconverterforum-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com > > > >Your use of Yahoo!

I had the same problempartial picture, not black picture, with the osx version preview until a very recent fix by Thosten. I encourage you to get the very latest version, even the very latest beta version. On a side note, I just updated to panther..I would never go back to Jaguar let alone back to os 9.2.2 and highly encourage you to give it a try. keith On Oct 26, 2003, at 9:34 AM, Potter at Island Resources wrote: > Thorsten -- > > Left out another, similar sort of error that occasionally happens --- > sometimes onle one-third of the THUMBNAIL gets saved? not reduced > size, but a cropped image --- usually a one-third vertical panel of > the whole thumbnail. > > Will try the 4.9.6 beta, but it will be a while before I can report > back --- I'm traveling again > > bruce > > At 8:08 AM +0100 10/26/03, lemkesoft@t-online.de wrote: >> Am 25.10.2003 21:59 Uhr schrieb "Potter at Island Resources" unter >> <bpotter@irf.org>: >> >>> Have not figured exactly under what conditions this occurs, but >>> using >>> GC 4.8, on a Mac iBook 600mghtz with 256 mg of memory, running OS >>> 9.2.2, lots of memory set aside for GC 4.8 --- >> Please use the latest beta: >> http://www.lemkesoft.com/beta.html >> >> What happens now? >> >> Thorsten >> >> >> >> To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to: >> graphicconverterforum-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com >> >> >> >> Your use of Yahoo!

Thorsten - you got it in one! That's fixed the problem in both instances, I can get productive again!
