New ImageIngesterPro Version 3.1.03 fixes bugs and adds a few minor features

[Marc Rochkind]

Here's what's changed since yesterday (both platforms):

* Number range used now reported on main window and external logs
* Bug fix: Post-conversion backup checkbox not recorded in presets
* Bug fix: Spaces in keywords caused keyword to be truncated
* "Successful ingestion" status on Ingestion Monitor panel now includes image count
* Total image count now reported on Ingestion Monitor panel and stored in database ingestion table.

The only remaining limitation now relative to Version 2.3 is that partitioning isn't yet supported. Also, the multi-camera-shoot feature hasn't been tested.

Has anyone (other than me) tried Version 3.1.x with multiple cards?

Marc,

I've just tested IIP 3.1.03 on two different Macs and found the 'Auto Ingest' checkbox and the 'Eject' button don't work at all, even when ingesting from a single card.

Both functions worked OK in 3.0.02 (the last beta I tested), so it's probably related to the changes required to handle multiple cards.

Am I missing something, or is this a bug?

To answer my own question ... Yes, I'm missing something.

When I used a SanDisk USB card reader instead of a Lexar Firewire card reader both the 'Auto Eject' and 'Eject' functions worked OK. Then when I tried the Lexar Firewire reader again it worked fine too. 

There's still potential for confusion though if you press the 'Cards...' button but don't actually follow through with ingestion.

At one stage I had a card mounted in the USB reader -- shown on the desktop (as EOS_DIGITAL) and also in the Ingestion Monitor when you press 'Cards...' -- but the main IIP window showed "No image card mounted".

On another occasion I pressed 'Cards...' followed by 'Eject'; the card was unmounted from the Firewire reader correctly but the main IIP window still showed "Mounted: EOS_DIGITAL {OXSEMI FWIRE CF READER}".

Time for dinner, then some more testing ...
