Batch Monitor – incoming network connection message
When I run Compressor i get the “Do you want the application “Batch Monitor.app” to accept incoming network connection. Whilst this is a common popup for lots of apps the problem with this one is that it only flicks onto the screen for about 3/25’s of a second and then disappears only to keep on popping up in this manner. Whilst Compressor is processing I cannot this interrupts any attempt to access such things as bookmarks or navigate through addresses in an internet browser.
It’s very annoying. Does anyone know how to deal with this ?
In order to identify this I had to film the screen and then work my way through the footage frame by frame to isolate it, hence why i could work out the 3/25 sec.
Cheers

Reset your preferences for Compressor. Turn on the option to open batch monitor when a job is sent. Might fix you right up.
If this fails try trashing this file: com.apple.compressor.Compressor.plist It’s in your user’s library in the Preferences folder there.

Colin, did that work for you (trashing prefs)?
It didn’t work for me. The same thing’s been happening to me for months. I trashed Compressor prefs, but it still happened.
I think I found a clue: it happens at the same update time interval that’s in Batch Monitor’s preferences. So I can avoid it by not opening Batch Monitor (uncheck that box in Compressor’s prefs), or by setting Batch Monitor to update at a longer interval.
I think I’ll go with the first option till I can find a better solution.
