I’ve recently upgraded from Gigapixel version 6.3 to version 8, and I’ve noticed an issue with the export progress bar. During the export process, the progress bar either hangs at around 30% while the progress wheel continues to spin, or it suddenly jumps to 100% even though the progress wheel is still spinning until the export finishes.
I also have Photo AI, which has a similar interface, but the progress bar works correctly in that software. Could anyone confirm if this is a known issue? If so, are there any suggested fixes, or will we need to wait for a patch update?
Also, the image size quoted after potential export at 100% JPEG quality is incorrect as the file will never be that large. If anything is will be around 14-17MB as shown below, not 98MB.
I have the same annoying problems (and probably others too). As far as I know, there is no known fix. It’s not a new bug, but it’s been around for several updates as far as I can remember. I have no idea if it will ever be fixed. And absurd estimates of the size of the output have been around for a very long time.
It’s indeed frustrating to learn that this problem has persisted for some time. The inaccuracy of file size estimations is particularly perplexing. When you’re exporting large batches of images, an incorrect file size estimate can misleadingly suggest the need for more storage space than necessary.
As for the estimated size of the result, for example, it shows me (for some *.png) 15 MB → 495 MB and in the end it’s 7 MB. Even a weather forecast for the next year is better. Nothing can be done about it. It would be better to just remove such a pseudo-estimate completely if it can’t be fixed. It probably has something to do with the possible compression level (png, jpg, tiff…), but I have no idea. I just ignore it.
I’ve noticed that when multiple images are queued for the first image, the progress bar doesn’t function properly. Yet, for all subsequent images, the progress bar behaves normally once the upload begins. Oddly enough, the estimated file size remains inaccurate, unfortunately.
