FFAstrans processing files while they are still copying

Post by Kieran O Leary »

Hello,

I've noticed when putting a watch folder on a NAS that large files are being processed while they are still copying. This happened with a 4 gig and a 16 gig pro res file. The workflow that I'm putting through is a bitc watermarked dvd iso.

What usually happens is that I get a lot of "Could not recognise content in file" errors and new jobs just keep popping up. Once the file has finished copying, it then puts through around3-5 identical jobs, but only one makes it through as the others have identical output names.

Is there some option I'm not selecting?

Thanks,

Kieran.

It's not a bug, it's a feature ;-)

Please check the "Check for growing files"-option in the workflow setup and let me know if that helps.
