crashes when making batchconversion

I’m having a lot of crashes with WL9 when making/editing batch conversion templates.
So, what i’m doing is make a batch converter that comverts a 24bit file to 16bit with dither and it renames the file to filename 1644.wav. Whe I try to save the conversion Wavelab crashes and everything is gone. This is driving me nuts!
win7 x64

I get crashes when editing batch conversions.
It happens when the menu of plugs is supposed to appear on the top left of the screen. OS X Version on 10.11.3 here

I can’t reproduce a problem here.

Please send me a crash log. On Mac you get it by default.
On Windows, proceed as follows:

  • Click on the File Tab
  • Now press Alternate and click on the Preferences button
  • Now press Alternate and click on the Global button
  • You can now see a tab called “Diagnostics”, at the right side.
    Click on it. then at the bottom of the page, check the button “Enable Crash Report”.

Now restart WaveLab. Then do the procedure that causes the problem you experiment.
This will create a crash log that is usable. This is what I need. Thanks.

I tried looking for the diagnostics tab, but I don’t have it? :question:
I’m on win7 x64.

Maybe this is helpfull?

Start WaveLab again, and follow my exact instructions. Then you will get it.

I’m sorry, tried it a couple of times, but I don’t see a diagnostics tab. :blush:

Ah, mised the alt = alternate button. :blush:
Coming back soon!

OK, here’s a crash report. Sending it with the tool didn’t work, so I uplaoded it.

What I did was open a batchprocessor that had dither to 16bit and rename (add 1644 to file name), replaced the dither to mbit+ in wavelab and saved the batchprocessor and then it crashed.

These are a couple of the batchfiles (new and old) that I use.

I can try it a lot of times, also with new batchfiles in different maps, I always get a crash.

Thanks, this was useful.
I think I know why the problem happens. Until a fix, I think the problem won’t happen if you don’t close any batch processor during the same WaveLab session. Please try this.

OK, great! Now that you mention it. I think it indeed happens when I close the batch session.
