PM6+ BetaPREVIEW GENERATION TASK

[Jon Paul Davidson]

I am running PM6+ Beta Build 5089 on Mac OS 10.15.6
When doing my last "Scan to Catalog, the tasks ended with "Catalog Image Preview Generation" reading "777 batches remaining" and stayed that way.  All other tasks are idle or completed.  What does that mean (& what is a "batch"?) & how do I get that completed? - Jon Davidson

Jon Paul,

I am running PM6+ Beta Build 5089 on Mac OS 10.15.6

A batch is a small group of images that need to be processed for preview generation.  Currently a batch is ten images.  So you have 7,770 images remaining to have their previews generated.  You don't have to wait for them to finish.  You can quit and when you resume the application later they will continue where they left off.

We have made some improvements to the speed of preview generation/copying, please try this build:

FYI, I was having a similar problem, where the queue to do batch preview would get "stuck" and remain "stuck" across sessions, including full product exit and return.  The above referenced patch seems to have addressed the issue.  Thanks!
