IV Issues

[Marc Rochkind]

Mike--

Given that the folder lists are now saving, and that I haven't been able to reproduce this problem, and that I have had no other reports of this problem, I would say that your computer is acting up. This could be a memory problem, or a disk problem or something deep in the OS that's wrong. No idea what.

Are there any other apps that are acting up?

Is there any way you could try IV on another machine?

Marc,

Though it has been a short while since the folders were first being saved, they are now consistently being saved.  So long as that functionaly continues to work properly, I am going to move on and simply assume that this is Bill Gates's way of giving me his blessing.    Thanks for your concern and feedback!

Marc/Mike- In reading this post, am I to assume that Job = Preset. I'm trying to adopt IV to my bucket workflow (already registered owner of IIPro). I was trying to establish "presets" to differentiate between creating hashes for new buckets and checking hashes on old buckets. BUT, creating a "New" job does not retain the selections. Help?

Dave,

If you have enabled "Store Hashes." you might have noticed the dialog box that appears after clicking "Run."  That dialog reminds you that "the Store Hashes setting will not be saved as part of the job."  I haven't seen Marc discuss this, but that appears to me to be a safety factor intentionally designed to prevent from accidentally storing a new hash the next time you run a job.

Due to that, you will be able to construct a preset that enables everythng you want except enabling the "Store Hashes" function.  That particular aspect of the job has to be manually set for reasons that I think are good.

If it's something else that's not being stored in your presets, be sure to check back in.  I am having no more issues with my folders not being stored; that's stilll working fine on my system.

Mike- I get the logic, but with the check box selection "Keep Existing Hashes" (located next to "Store Hashes"), it seems like two belts and suspenders type of protection. No big deal, but it does require extra key strokes.

thanks for replying tho-

Yes, not saving the "store hashes" setting is a safety factor. It wouldn't do if a nightly job updated all the hashes every night.
