From the help file:
The example file is also available in the C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data\Filter Forge folder as batchsample.xml.


I've installed the 1.013 update via 'Tools > Updates...' in the FF main UI, but I can't find the example xml file inside the folder mentioned in the help file. Instead, it is located in 'C:\Program Files\Filter Forge\Resources\System'. smile:|

From the help file:
All errors that occurred while rendering are written down to the log file and shown in the console. The log file is named FFX CmdRenderer.log and located in the system temporary folder (under Windows, it is usually C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Temporary Files\).


The folder given in the help file doesn't exist on my machine. I've executed several batch render jobs that threw errors and did a file search for this log file, but it is nowhere to be found. smile:(

It looks like this file is not copied to 'C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data\Filter Forge' when performing an update. On a clean installation, it is really located in 'Application Data\Filter Forge'. We'll fix this, or maybe amend the Help smile:)

The log file is created in the user Temp folder. Please check your system setting (Start > Settings > Control Panel > System > Advanced > Environment variables) or type 'SET' in the command-line.
When searching for a file with a space in the name, it's a good idea to enclose it in quotation marks: "FFX CmdRenderer.log"

Ah, it is set to "%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temp", but there's no 'FFX CmdRenderer.log' in that folder or any of its sub-folders. Is the log file always created or only with critical errors?

No, the log file is created only when a critical error occurs. With non-critical errors, the renderer only shows the error info in the console, and proceeds to the next job.

You can use the 'FFXCmdRenderer-x86-SSE2.exe batch.xml > C:\log.txt' command to redirect all output from the console to the C:\log.txt file.
