Weirdness with i2e (or just my newness to it)

I batched processed around 80 photos with i2e last night. They came out (of course) wonderfully, but I noticed something odd.

It never seemed to stop processing the photos. I selected the input and output folders and clicked "process all images." It started processing and you could watch the progress. Once it got to the last image, it went back to the first and seemed to start over. The images had been correctly processed and were saved in the (new) output folder. Yet it kept going, and going. It went through all 80 pictures 3 times before I finally clicked "stop."

Is this the normal behavior? Does it process the images multiple times for some reason?

    I use it to batch process and have never seen the issue.

    Being somewhat green to image processing, I think ie2 is a godsend. I use it everyday and its almost flawless.

    I do find that best results arrive when people and skin tones are evident. Less so on landscapes and still lifes.

    Just to cover the bases, I use it with XP Home and a Dell laptop and I have the standard edition.

    Suggest you email the comapny directly. They are fairly small and will respind quickly.

    I've never seen the problem either and I use it like a fiend, but I'm still using a version two dot releases ago. I suspect it's a bug.

    I agree that it really shines when people are in the shot.

    I too experienced this weirdness on one of the two (out of three) machines on which I could get version 2.4.3 working. Not only did it start over again some of the time, at other times it would stop processing images part way through, at still other times it seemed to have stopped processing images but in fact still was. All this was happening in normal mode (which IS, btw, a form of batch processing (since multiple images are being adjusted in one go - just not a "job"). When running the batch processing as a "job" I experienced these problems plus the program was creating copies of the originals in the program folder, so I ran out of space in that partition partway through.
