Batch Converter Hang on initial startup

[retiredguy]

I'm encountering a minor problem with the batch converter since moving to new hardware. M1Max processor running MacOS 12.4. Running release 17.7 (2).

Starting the batch process to convert files, I typically view the 'list' to make sure I have all the right files. When I try starting the process, it hangs. If I cancel the process, it works on the 2nd try.

Anyone else seen this?

Where are your files stored? on a NAS?

[retiredguy]

No. The files are on the SSD in my MAC.

If you leave it, does the hang resolve its self?

Thanks for the bug report.

At which stage does it hang and what is it showing?

Can you post pictures please?

[retiredguy]

I've attached screenshots to show the steps.

1. app selector
2. batch selector window showing'4 LevelOne' folder containing folders of files to be processed
3. after clicking the 'list' function showing 9 files to be processed
4. next window ready to process
5. list of the files and status showing 0 seconds elapsed, which hangs for an extended period.

I'll add another post with the final window when complete.

After 30 to 45 seconds it eventually runs, but it appeared to be running much more slowly.
