Different percent-progress

Post by Peter2 »

Converting huge files (example TIF to PDF/JPG) displays different progress information:

The progress-bar (bottom of dialogue) displays approx. 10-20% "more percent" then the information in title-bar of the window. (Example: 80% down, 60% in title)

IMHO the difference comes from wrong refreshing commands. After an input-file is converted the progress on the bottom is refreshed; the progress on the top is refreshed after the conversion of the second file.

Yes. There it is different. The posting above concerns XnConvert 1.10.

But I see that the calculation of remaining time is based on number of input files. That's a problem with multi-page files where one file has 3 pages and the next files has 120 pages. A perfect solution would be:
- Count the number of all existing pages
- Calculate the progress based on the number of existing and exported pages.

This can be very slow to count the total number of pages...

If I use TotalCommander in a directory with total 18 PDF and 33 MB and enable the user-defined columns (using plugin xpdfsearch), then I have in 3 sec infos in each file about width, height, page count, file version, author.

But maybe a calculation is a kind of "fake-feature". Exact or not - the duration stays the same ....

XnConvert 1.20:

Seems that the progress-info has refresh-problems (Input: 2 PDF with total 27pages)
The display at top and at bottom is displayed once, the progress-bar jumps from 0 to 100 in one step.

But more files show that there is a description "done" is missing in the caption:
