Watch Folder not picking up all files when a batch is placed in folder.

Thanks for the workflow, very helpful.

Steinar also doublechecked and he is sure that he corrected this issue already in 2024 where another user seemed to have the same problem. So he insists in the upgrade.

Aside from that, the problem seems to be about "parallel running branches". Looking at your workflow, i don't see the need for that, e.g. why check house format and also check "not house format", i mean if its not houseformat then it's not (only one check needed). Same for the loudness checks.
Looking at your workflow makes me think that you might not be aware about the "execute on error" feature of processors (where processors have a red input pin). Usually when we do a conditional, we connect 2 nodes on it's output. One node executes on successful outcome, the other on non successful outcome (e.g. one has a green input pin, the other one a red one). See "error handling": https://ffastrans.com/wiki/doku.php?id= ... r_handling

In order to be able to see what happens in your workflow, i did restructure it.
This ended up in a workflow that does not run double branches at any time - so you would not encounter the same bug as above with this. Also no "dispel" is needed which is a function i usually do not use unless i am really not interested in the job's history.

What i also found a little bit strange is that you do check and correct the loudness using mono configuration, not sure if this is really what you intend to do here. If it is, please ignore me but checking Mono style should only be done when you actually have a real mono audio configuration. If you deal actually with stereo channels (transported in mono tracks because its XDCAM style), you must measure accordingly. In this case, in the analyzer nodes you just set Discrete Tracks=1 and Total channels = 2. (this is a virtual config only for measurement, it has nothing to do with the actual channels/tracks config of the input file but only with how you want to measure the stuff)
