For the past few months, I've had the following setup:
3 saved profiles, running in 3 separate XnConvert windows/sessions, each window looking at 3 different hot folder individually.
Recently, I've noticed that all 3 sessions have been looking into each other's hot folder and it 'competes' to process the files even tho they haven't been selected in the hot folder. I can tell it competes because in the Status tab, I can see one has processed it, and the others comes up with an open error.
I have restarted the machine, reset and reloaded the profiles and configs and still its competing and looking at other hot folders. I am currently running version 1.80.
Anyone else experiencing this? Also, any way I can fix it?

Re: Multiple Sessions with hot folders not running independently
if you change hot folder in one isntance, it will be changed for others too..
i'm wrong, with current version it's not possible to choose different .ini, i'll add for next version

Re: Multiple Sessions with hot folders not running independently
Might be an inappropriate silly question but, what's the ETA on the next version?

Re: Multiple Sessions with hot folders not running independently
So how do I use different .ini for each instance?

Re: Multiple Sessions with hot folders not running independently
you set your settings+hot folders, rename the xnconvert.ini into xnconvert1.ini, make the same for xnconvert2.ini

Re: Multiple Sessions with hot folders not running independently
Sounds simple.
But how does each XnConvert instance know which .INI to refer to?

Re: Multiple Sessions with hot folders not running independently
when you start it, use -ini to choose the ini file
