Continue with Post Process Command Line if Input Folder is Empty

Please refer to the Wiki Documentation for the complete command line interface reference.

When running multiple jobs in a row or chain with the Post Process Command Line it is possible that an earlier Job in the process won’t have any files. This will stop the Job before reaching the Post Process step and cause later jobs not to run.

This can be corrected by adding an option directly to the XML text of the Job Configuration. This will tell it to keep going to the Post Process step even if there are no files to process in the Job.

Instructions:

  1. Right click on the Job Configuration file (.sic file format) and select Open With..
  2. Select Notepad or some other text file opening software.
  3. Search for this in the text of the file: <POSTPROCEMPTY>false</POSTPROCEMPTY>
  4. Change the word “false” to the word “true” in that section.
  5. false = Stop immediately if there are no files to process.
  6. true = Run the Post Process Command Line even if there are no files to process
  7. Save the file and close it.
