Well......there is an error reading file...

Sorry I can't say anything about it without some details. Maybe the error message is correct? What is the problem anyway?

I have also encountered this error. It appears when you run several batch jobs after each other. When the first job finishes, the program writes the globalsettings.xml and when the next one is starting the file is locked due to writing.
You can avoid the problem by waiting until the first job is complete before the next one is started.

Thanks for the info. I've changed the save algorithm to flush data before the program exits. (I'm using buffered file access right now) Thous this problem should be solved with the next version.
