Where does BatchPhoto store its temporary files. I am loading tens of thousands of images for batch processing, and BatchPhoto is showing "Not Responding". In case I have to stop the program, where does BatchPhoto store the temporary images?

Hi,

Thank you for using BatchPhoto.

BatchPhoto doesn't use a temporary storage when adding images in the interface (Step 1). Since BatchPhoto reads the EXIF metadata for each added image in order to be able to sort the images by this metadata, it will take some time to add thousands of images and "Not Responding" can show-up. However the app will not crash but continue to process the added images and once the processing is finished the app will become responsive again.

We have on our to-do list to improve this process for a future release.

Please let me know if this clarifies your problem.
