Batch processing 12 – 283
Changing file order within a batch
The order of files within a batch is usually of no particular importance
(they will all get processed in the same way), but when you set up a batch
with many files, it might make things easier if you can organize things the
way you want it:
• You can move a file up and down within the batch by using the arrow buttons.
• You can drag and drop files within a batch to change the order.
• You can re-sort the order of the files on the Input tab by selecting one of the sort
options on the “Extra” menu.
You can also re-sort the list by clicking on the file headings.
About the file icons – File status
To the left of the file you will find an icon providing information about the
status of the file:
Option Description
Green circle The file is ready to be processed. You cannot start processing unless at
least one file has this status.
Purple dot The file is currently being processed. The Batch window can’t be closed if
any files have this status, the only way to stop a batch is then from the Mon-
itor window, see “The Monitor window” on page 247.
Half filled
green circle
The file has been analysed by an “Ultra-pass” processor but has not been
processed and written to disk yet, see “Ultra-pass processors” on page 288.
Green dot The batch has been processed without problems. In order to process the file
again, you need to reset its status, see below.
Red cross An error occurred. You will most likely have been warned via an alert box. If
an error occurs, processing is cancelled by default. On the Extra menu there
is however an option called “Stop batch processing at first error”. If you de-
activate this, processing will not stop upon error, but instead skip to the next
file in the batch.
