Manual Import

[ozora tsubasa]

I'm currently importing around 5000 files worth of handhistories. The import crashed once around file 750. I moved the file to another folder, restarted the import. This time the 1000th file or so crashed the import, and it takes around 15 minutes for PT3 to read/skip already imported files to reach 1000th file. So once again, I removed the problem file and restarted. Eventually I'm sure I'll locate all files causing the crashes but you probably get my point. Is there a way to move processed files along the way? I have it checked on auto-import tab, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything for the manual import. Or maybe it is waiting until all files are imported.

Is there a way I can do this less painfully?

sounds like a very good idea imo.

Not currently. Once PT3 stabilizes and it is not crashing, will the move processed files be useful? Ideally, you import them once and PT3 will never have to re-read the directory.

The reason for moving processed files for auto-import is because PT3 is constantly reading then re-reading the directory, over and over again.

It won't be useful once PT3's not crashing.
I split my files into batches of 800 into a few folders until then as a solution and so far so good.

One thing might help others though. In what order is PT3 processing files. Name, date, something else? If I knew this, I could just sort files and move the ones before the problem file knowing they would have been processed.

yeah - my "very good idea" point was really meant as an aid to finding problem files at this debugging stage.

Agree it willbe pointless once import is bug-free (well, unless you have a power failure / crashy CPU lol)

Good question and I am not sure. Josh will be able to clarify...

It looks like the import is done by filename. So, sorting by name and removing the files upto the problem file does the trick.
