Batch Preprocessing saving ?
« on: 2018 March 10 17:47:18 »
Maybe I am daft but I cant see to find any way to save a Batch Preprocessing script with files selected.

A new instance can be made but when invoked it brings up the script up but its empty!

Any tips please?

It would be really great to set up a BPP script with the master calibration files already loaded, then just load the lights and off we go :)

Anyhow thanks for any help with this!

Check the "export calibration files" box

I have the same problem from time to time (Win 7/ 64 Bit - 16 GB RAM) , this means:

After a fresh PI installation , everything works well for some time and after some ~ months your described problem and some other minor problems happens , until I do a fresh PI installation.

A vague guess form my side is , that some Microsoft Updates (Windows or VS or what ever) will may cause this.

I wrote this a while ago but pretty sure it's still applicable today.

I interpreted the OP's question to be about saving a process icon for BPP with some values already filled-in, hence my link to the way I do it.  I think Geoff interpreted the question to be about saving any masters created in the process.  I guess the OP may need to clarify?

Sorry I did not get back to this sooner...

But I Thought that was pretty clear. But Geoff's recommendation worked!
