problem with bmp conversion

Mon Jul 30, 2007 8:47 pm

Hi All,

The Demobase contains 6100+ demos now! :lol: :shock:
About 1600 screenshots are added.
There's only 1 slight problem,,,

When i convert bmp images to png :

1)When i startup Gamebase then only the 1st time the conversion failes!
After that i cancel and point to the (not)converted image again and then suddenly it's a png file and everything looks ok.

2)When i continue converting bmp files to png files then all is OK.
But when i am done and want to verify the pictures..
then the last added pictures are missing and the textfile says it's still bmp!

3)when i look up the pic in gamebase again i have to point it again and it's a PNG!
But when i verify after that it's all ok suddenly....
WTF :evil:

At point 1)i had THIS problem for a long time now but al STAYED OK and i could just continue adding..

I never had this problem ,just for 2 weeks now,so before i reached the 6000 entries approx.
I do not want to add every pic twice :?
Help is much appreciated :?:

Regards

I had a similar problem which started to occur after I converted my HD to NTFS.

The fault is visible in case of a timeout during the conversion call (maybe caused by virus scanner) and GameBase doesn't refresh the window properly.

We have increased the timeout in GameBase v1.2 and will force a refresh if the timeout still occurs. The new version of the frontend is actually under test and will be released soon!
