Set the models folder to a new location. Copied the models there. No problem. Deleted the models from the old, original location. At next startup, the software put them back. The preferences still point to the new location, but the software won’t allow them to be deleted from the old.

YES! Thanks a LOT, now I can use this program properly!
And I have a ton of projects just waiting for this prog!

It still won’t let you delete them from the old location.

True, and thanks for bringing it up as well!

But I pretty much held off on installing this prog until the pathing was properly set, so I thankfully, have nothing to delete!

The json files will still be there.

When previewing side by side, the original does not play until the end of the loop and then catches up very quickly. It does this on each loop. I’ve tried multiple videos, same result.

new official public version Date ? Topaz Video Enhance AI 2.6.5 ? thanks

There is no 2.x beta. I wouldn’t look for another release.

Haven’t tried the prototype in a bit so figured i’d have at this release.

As stated by someone earlier, the playback is janky as hell & why does it not flush the previews in temp folder after you delete them or close the program…mainly the latter. There’s no reason a bunch of 2sec .mov files need to stay once it’s closed.

I rarely restart my pc & i can see those building up real quick. A good home needs to be built on a good foundation, but hey you changed the interface a bit…so i guess that’s a thing.

Fantastic update, it fixed many issues I had with the application! However, the issue with the progress bar sometimes not working is still present on my machine. It’s weird really, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. Most of the time it doesn’t, any idea how this can be resolved?

EDIT: It seems this issue is only present when I’m upscaling a MPG/MKV video, MP4 ones seem to work fine with the progress bar for some reason.

Lee - did you try deleting the files from the old location while having the app completely closed? If yes, could you send me a screenshot of whatever error you receive when it doesn’t let you delete the json files in the old location?

Thanks for the info. Can I also ask you to send me a screenshot of the error you get when trying to remove the files from the old location, please? Thank you!

Hi Tom - the progress bar currently has such issues. It’s on our roadmap to fix. The progress bar sometimes doesn’t work, the ETA may not work…etc all of these should be fixed at some point. Can I ask you to send me one or some of your MPG & MKV videos just to make sure there isn’t something else we aren’t aware of? You can submit the files through: Submit File to Dropbox.. Please leave me note here to let me know you’ve sent something. Thank you!

Oh, you misunderstood me, my issue is not with file deletion as this is my first install of the prog, so no residual files to delete! :smile:

Hi, submited “Rimas_Proteus0.2s_preview_fails.7z” to dropbox. Included Artemis preview is fine, proteus failed to save information in a video file. 0.5s preview works. Tested on the latest [Prototype GUI 3.0.0.27a]. Fails with any file actually. This is the short one, easy to test.

There is no error. I can delete them. When I launch the application again, the installer runs and puts them back before launching. I’m guessing they are set in the installer as a prerequisite in that specific location.

I guarantee you, the json files are in the default location as well as your preferred location.
