PDCU 5 Batch Processing Error

Halco · 06-18-2015, 06:08 PM

I keep getting the error '"Unable to rename all with selected base file name. Rename base file name" when trying to batch process files in the Pentax Digital Camera utility. I have fully updated, uninstalled and reinstalled the software to no avail. Can anyone help me out? I have too many files to do individually (which works fine).

Thanks!

I'll second your observation. I also notice that the save button is grayed out so I can not proceed to save the batch. I've found that if I click some of the other buttons in the file naming dialog box, it will mysteriously activate the save button and I can proceed with the batch processing.

Due to this problem and some problems I earlier reported in another post (the noise reduction settings from my K5 do not show up accurately in PDCU5, but do show up accurately in PDCU4), I have quit using PDCU5 and just use 4 instead. It seems to do a fine job with my K5 files.
