Batch convert doesn't work - Saving error(s):

Post by nivorae »

Hello, i used the program for a day with ease, since then it has been giving the same vague response to any action i try to take.

My actions consist of batch converting images with the following steps
- cropping the image
- renaming the files in a specific format

This results in the following processing list:

if i understand correctly that is an issue of name formatting? It seems to resolve itself when i delete spaces in the name file. Guess i'll have to think through a new naming structure, thank you for the hint.
