The batch image editor tool appears to be only working 33 frames at a time for me. Im having to move the 33 cxrs into a subfolder and run it repeatedly to get it to process the whole folder.

 I posted on the support system about an issue i was having with the batch script. However it turned out that the batch bat file was looking at the wrong exe. For some reason the folder Program Files/Corona/... contains the v12 image editor etc. whereas the folder Program files/Chaos/Corona/... contains the latest v13 and the batch tool was looking in the old folder. I doubt its related but it highlights a handful of small issues with the batching tool.

Im not sure if its an issue with the batch file or the latest CIE Cmd but it would be a great idea to integrate some batching ability into the CIE itself.

There are two issues here:
1 - The path to CIE is wrong in the script - this will be fixed and the file will be updated in the Help Center
2 - The 33 files limit. I tried it and got a 59 files limit. After consulting with ChatGPT, it turns out there is a limit of characters that can be ran as a single command, and the current .bat script used to hit that limit. The exact number of processed files would depend on your filenames length. After torturing ChatGPT for some more time, I got a working PowerShell script which overcomes the character limit. Simply run the .bat file from the attached archive. It will think for a while and then spit out all the processed files. It may seems slow at first, but I don't think it is.
