#Par join wont work?
5 messages in this thread
I am having trouble getting the par software to work. We downloaded
v.1.5, and neither join nor append do anything. When you click on
join, it asks for a file to join, but only lists the file that was
originally selected. Also, when you click on the append button, it
says preparing for append, and then doesn't do anything. Could
someone tell me what we are doing wrong. We have just gotten this
par board and are of course running up on some deadlines.
Tolek,
After you select join, it starts with the file you had hilited when you
selected join. From then on, select additional file(s) in the sequence you want
to join and then click ok. PAR will then create a TMP file of the joined
files. Depending on your setting in the PAR.INI file, this will be either
destructive or not. Destructive means that the original files don't exist
independantly anymore, only as one single animation file called TMP.ANI which
you should rename. In non-destructive mode, the original ANIs are left as they
were. APPEND simply means to take any ANI file on the PAR and make it the last
one so you can render addtional frames to it.
I hope that helps and I explained it well enough.
Great, Thanks for the information. I really appreciate it.

Doug,
glad I could help.

Sounds like you're going through what I did when I first looked at
join. I expected to be able to pick the names of files to be joined
out of the box that appears when you click join – but there's only
one file name in it. The trick is that the main selection window
where you normally pick the name of a file on the PAR drive to play
it or what not is still active, even though the join window is
showing. Click the names of the files you want to join in the main
window, one after another, and they will appear in the join window
where you can select them again to join them. Jon Burleson
