QuadTone RIP - GUI - Problem with Automated Printing (Monitor Folder)
2005-11-27 by fjohn1963
I tried several searches of this group but came up with nothing, so here is my issue: I'm having a problem with the automated printing functions in the QTR QUI application. I'm currently using v2.2.4. I used to be able to copy more than one file to the folder that the GUI is monitoring, and the app would dutifully process each of them in succession. Unfortunately, starting a few versions ago, if I copy more than one image to the monitored folder, it causes the GUI app to hang and I have to shut it down in the task manager. A specific scenario is as follows: - Copy an image to the monitored folder (Image 1) - QTR-GUI picks up the image and starts printing (Image 1) - While QTR-GUI is printing, copy another image to the folder (Image 2) - Image 2 disappears from the monitored folder - Image 1's spool entry builds and builds beyond the normal byte count. - QTR-GUI eats up all of the system cycles and runs at 100% - I have to kill the QTR-GUI task It's as though, despite not being done with the first image, QTR-GUI sucks in the 2nd image too and everything gets clogged up. I'm sorry, I don't remember for sure when it started doing this. I believe it was when I installed one of the betas, maybe about 6-9 months ago. I've been living with loading one image at a time and waiting until QTR-GUI finishes processing it, but it's really getting old. Has anybody else encountered and fixed this problem? Thanks. John F.
