Graph data not written automatically

Hi,

 

When using 'Write files/folders to disk' the graph data file isn't written automatically even though the option 'Capture Graph Data' is checked. DVDInfoPro is selected as Default Viewer with location 'Documents and Settings\...\Application Data\ImgBurn, but I have to export the ibg-file manually under File | Export Graph Data to get it written to disk. It's the actual version of ImgBurn. I remember that in earlier versions this has been done automatically.

 

Additional remark: It takes more than 3 min(!) before ImgBurn starts building and writing the image. The status line shows 'Creating Graph Data Thread...'. Is this normal behaviour?

 

Best regards

Look in the log file, what does it say? Normally it will say it's exporting it at the end of the operation.

 

No it's not normal for it to take that long to make the thread, it should take a fraction of a second.

 

You need the 'Auto 'Export Graph Data'' option enabled under the Write tab (in the Settings) for it to automatically export the data to a file - and that is normally checked by default.

Thanks for your quick reply.

This option was disabled. When checked the ibg-file is written automatically. Thanks.

 

Concerning the long time for 'Creating Data Graph Thread...' please have a look at the logfile:

Same happens when I try to write an image file to disc. Any idea?

Beats me how it's activated. Can't see any extra rows in the log. Unless it shows up in the program info area.

 

The path you save it to in the settings - does it exist? I know some other programs can hang for some minutes if the path is not existing any longer.

The debugging stuff is actually only visible when the program has to get a 'localised' name for the performance counter.

 

Otherwise, it should all be very straight forward.

 

Does the data you eventually end up with include everything it's supposed to?

 

I assume you're using XP yeah? Is it SP3?

Aha. It's this:

Hmm, I think the delay must be coming from the initial API call that 'opens' the performance data stuff.

 

What's odd is that it takes 3 mins the first time when Write starts and is then instant when Verify starts.

 

Sorry, I'm not really sure what to do now.

 

Try looking in EventViewer to see if anything is logged during those 3 minutes that might provide us with clues.

Does the hang happen every single time you burn? Even if you burn and verify (where verify happens quickly remember) and then burn again (with or without closing down the program) ?

 

I can send a version that logs the actual calls to the openquery and addcounter functions that are used for the performance data stuff if you fancy giving that a go and getting a more useful debug log?

Yeah, please do that. BTW, Event Viewer doesn't help. There is just one entry with more or less identical time stamp, i.e. the start of WMI Performance Adapter. This service is stopped 5 min later. I can't see any relationship to the problem here.

Curios.

 

While it's waiting for the graph data thread to be created, does your computer hang or can you use it during those three minutes?

 

No, PC is fully functional during those 3 min. If I remember right, this behaviour was there from the very beginning after I installed ImgBurn on this PC (Intel E8400, 4GB RAM, motherboard ASUS P5Q, Win Pro XP SP3).
