Script Monitor stuck on "Building"

Issue

When you launch AccuZIP6, your monitor button just says "Building" and sits like that for a time, making it unable to be clicked.

Reason

What that's doing is querying all of your current watch folders for files it could be processing. Normally that's not an issue, but when you run a script, you may notice that AccuZIP6 archives files into folders in many cases. So if you had a "C:\Working" watch folder set up, when your script finishes, you may have an extra "Demofile 03202015" folder inside from when that script ran.

Your watch folder will not pick this up to process, but when the Script window launches, it sees that folder. And it's scanning through its contents for something to process. Then it moves to the next archive folder, and the next--multiply that by the number of watch folders you have set up. That is the reason for this behavior.

Solution

The only way to prevent it is to clear those archives out from the watched folders. If those are eliminated and it has nothing to keep scanning, it will not go through that behavior. It's not an issue with the number of scripts you have, but an issue with the amount of folders and files to scan through within the watch folders.

I Just wanted to let you know we are in the Postal Fort Worth Texas Division and I received a call from someone in their office today wanting to ask me some questions. He asked if I understood about the changes with the move update starting for this month, then he asked me what software we were using. I explained to him that we have been using AccuZIP Software for the last 20 years and I thought you were the #1 in the United States. I told him that you were the only software displayed in the Postal Section of the Smithsonian Institute. He asked me if I had to manually change the updated addresses and I told him no that the Software did it for us and I could print a report showing the old address and the new address. He told me out of 32,000 names that were updated only 3 were wrong and he just wanted to call me to see what Software we were using. Thanks for such good software and support from your company over the past 20 years.
