  • There are 2 ways to set up SQLite:
  • Download SQLite files from here (32-bit or 64-bit as your OS) as *.zip files
  • and extract thoose into AnotherGUI folder.
  • Or download SQLite installer from http://system.data.sqlite.org/index.html/doc/trunk/www/downloads.wiki
  • The correct file is for NET 4.0 and 32-bit or 64-bit as your OS is.
  • Current version is named "sqlite-netFx40-setup-bundle-x64-2010-1.0.94.0.exe"
  • but the version number will change over time.
  • It is wise not direct your converted files back to WatchFolder as you can end with endles conversion loop.
  • To set up a WatchFolder you can also drag'n'drop a folder or folders to WatchFolders window.
  • WathFolders are able to write their own log files into WatchFolder/Log/.
  • The normal WatchFolder checking time is ca 10 seconds, but it depends on how many files are there.
  • If on second pass if the file has the same parameters a Job will be launched.
  • WatchFolder conversion Jobs have the lowest priority.
  • Added a menu as lot of users didn't discover the old right-click menu at all:-)

  • all possible image sequences will be found, even from subfolders. It takes time.
  • If there is discontiniuty in numberin 2 different imagesequence jobs will be generated.

  • source is an image sequence and first frame is not 0 then -start_number is added wit correct start number.
  • Ffmbc doesn't support this and will fail if present.

  • The default is the number of available processors.
  • No data is stored into Registry any more. Some new *.xm files are introduced.
  • Starting from version 1.9 it was possible to have *.bat or *.cmd file as executable.
  • It allows to launch complex jobs with several different executables used inside.
  • Be careful, it my farite *.bat file contains "format c:" and not everybody do like this:-)
  • In Preferences you can find more log levels now.
