Hi Eric, There is a small glitch with the interface for Batch Processing. If I do as follows I then need to press Start Batch Processing twice, probably because the preview of the first is still visable:
Open an image and then set the parameters etc.
Open a second or third etc., set the parameters, and then select Start Batch Processing
Press Start on the output panel and it simply returns to the main screen with the preview no longer visible and no processing underway.
After returning I press Start Batch Processing again, the parameters panel shows, and I must press Start to start the process.
Unfortunately I can no longer drag and drop photos into GP from XnView (or Explorer), while I can in v4.4.5.
Processing seems to take about twice the time as v4.4.5, (Settings; 2x Size, High Quality Jpeg Output). v4.5.0 took as much time per photo to complete the first part (I assume resizing) as v4.4.5 does to resize, compress to HQ Jpeg and save the photo.
I am on Windows 10. When I try to drag and drop any image file, my mouse cursor turns into a “not allowed” symbol when I hover over Gigapixel. When I then let go no files are added to Gigapixel. Drag-and-drop works in all other applications
edit: Also when I try to save the image as a tiff in the sRGB colorspace, the output image is in Adobe98??
Yes, I also found it strange, I was only able to add files through the open button.
This happened the first time I opened the new version. After an hour of work I decided to close and now I open it again and I can normally drag the files from the explorer to the gigapixel.
congrats for the updated release.
Unfortunately I am facing an issue that is getting nerving to me. I face download isues and would need the full installer of the software. For Sharpen and DeNoise one could find this relevant link in the Download Center. WOuld be a great relief, if you could make the full installer available there in general, as I prefer doing the installation locally.
Thanks for your reply and stay in good health these days.
Last night the Windows download link was ‘active’…just did not have time to do it on my modest ADSL connection.
But now, the link is dead and it seems the file is no longer there to download. Therefore it would be great to know what is happening and when it will be ready again??? Or is v4.5.1 in the pipeline Though oddly the Mac .dmg file is still available!
The download has been re-loaded it seems…starting the download but compared to all previous downloads it is like sucking a thick milkshake through a very thin straw
I wish the new version’s settings were sticky from session to session as they were under 4.4.6. Having to set the scale type, switch to auto, etc. every time is more tedious than with the previous version. Also, I submitted an issue where if I do a batch resize using height, the resultant images have varying heights even though the batch listing shows they are all set to the same height.
If you wish to check the “identity” of the download link that Eric has provided in the OP they are both Full Installers (though unlike on the DeNoise & Sharpen threads there is not yet the click link for the Online as well in that location)
Sorry about that, I see what you mean … I prefer the online installer as it downloads in sections and I don’t keep old installers, still takes the same amount of time (i expect)
