Changed behavior in Vegasaur

Len Kaufman wrote on 1/10/2018, 8:42 AM

I've been using Vegasaur for awhile. One of the features I now use frequently is the one that shows the progress of a render in a separate window. I use the separate window to place the info on my second screen, as my primary screen is usually engaged on a different computer via an A/B switch while my editing computer is in process. This usage of Vegasaur thanks to some of you guys on this forum.

Recently, Vegasaur has exhibited new behavior. It consistently stops counting when it gets to somewhere between 98.5 or 99.8% of completion. Granted, this is not fatal, as I know total completion is just a few seconds away, but it is curious behavior, and just started recently.

Any suggestions?

I did a render this morning and noticed it seemed to take a few seconds longer to pop off the screen but it finally did. I'll take note on future renders. Perhaps an issue with recent Windows updates?

It did "seem" to follow a Windows update, but it's difficult to be sure.

One very short (20 seconds) render that I did last night before going to sleep left Vegasaur window open in the morning, stating it was 99.8% done.

Can you post a screenshot of this window?

Here is a screen shot....actually it's 2 screens. As you can see, the Vegas window (left) says 100%. The Vegasaur window (right) says 99.7%. It can vary by several seconds from one render to another. And it remains that way...even overnight. This is new behavior. As stated previously, not fatal, but curious. And it doesn't always happen.

This window from another extension (Semw extension?), not Vegasaur.

Oh. Back to the drawing boards. Thank you Altarvic. Sorry for the confusion.

Yes, this is the SeMW Extension.

Thank you, Marco. But I guess the mystery still remains: why doesn't it complete?

I don't know. It could be a Windows problem as already noted. At least be sure you use latest version 1.0.10 of SeMW Extension. Also you could try just disabling the "Render Progress" feature of SeMW Extensions.
