This option was working good few months ago, now I tried to use it after months, but it's not working, until "Resize" or other transformation is used.

This option has several bugs and issues, files are not converted without using any transformation option, also some options are not saved correctly + error dialog and exception after specific steps.

I can always reproduce these bugs with these steps, also with other file type, not just with png.

Output type is always default option - jpg, for all steps below.

For default settings I'm using these parameters: To reproduce:
#1
- use default options
- select 3 png files
- Ctrl+P
- enable "Use current folder" option
- "Run" button is unavailable
- click the button "Queue"
= Result - dialog is closed, but jpg files are not created

#2
- select 3 png files
- Ctrl+P
= Result - "Use current folder" option, state is not saved, possibly few other options are not saved either

#3
- use default options
- select 3 png files
- Ctrl+P
- enable "Use current folder" option
- add transformation "Resize", default values, 800x600
- click the button "Queue"
= Result - dialog is closed, but jpg files are not created

#4
- use default options
- select 3 png files
- Ctrl+P
- enable "Use current folder" option
- add transformation "Resize", default values, 800x600
- click the button "Run"
= Result - jpg files are created (correct)

#5 (exception)
- use default options
- use NC mode
- select 3 png files
- Ctrl+P
- enable "Use current folder" option
- click the button "Queue"
= Result - dialog is closed, but jpg files are not created
- now select 3 png files again
- Ctrl+P
- enable "Use current folder" option
- add transformation "Resize", default values, 800x600
- click the button "Queue"
= Result - file list is not refreshed
- Ctrl+R to refresh file list
= Result - file list is not refreshed
- press X to close FC
= Result - Access Violation error dialog + Exception dialog

- select "Restart application"
= Result - first jpg file is created correctly, but not the others

Good morning Dreamer,

I followed your steps as described above and am posting my results. I have decided not to copy your steps and to only post results and if necessary, comments so as to keep them more readable.

One note to begin, I closed the normal instance of FC after performing #1.

#1

= Result - dialog was not closed the focus returned to main FC instance, and jpg files were not created.
After changing focus to dialog, it remained inoperable, clicking on "Queue" resulted in no action whatsoever and the dialog remained open.

Confirmed run button is inactive.

#2

= Result - in my case "Use current folder" option, state was saved, all other options were still the same i.e. saved.

#3

I did not have to enable "Use current folder" option, checkbox was activated already.

= Result - jpg files were created

#4

I did not have to enable "Use current folder" option, checkbox was activated already.

= Result - jpg files were created (correct)

#5 (exception)

- I did not have to enable "Use current folder" option, checkbox was activated already.

= Result - dialog was not closed the focus returned to main FC instance, and jpg files were not created.
After changing focus to dialog, it remained inoperable, clicking on "Queue" resulted in no action whatsoever and the dialog remained open.

I did not have to enable "Use current folder" option, checkbox was activated already.

= Result - file list was refreshed

- Ctrl+R to refresh file list - this step was unnecessary

= Result - FC closed without Access Violation error dialog + Exception dialog

The main problem is: the "Queue" button should be not active if no transformation step is defined - fixed for the next release.

This way it's impossible to convert multiple files to other format.

In the image viewers it's possible to convert files to other format even without any transformation.

Workaround, use Contrast/Brightness transformation, values 0, 0.
