Compressor
I’m new to Compressor and a little slow figuring it out. When I try to “Submit” my Batch instead of a dialog box popping up for me to name my batch a pop up appears that tells me that “You must enter a name for this batch submission. This is the name that identifies this submission in the Batch Monitor and the History window.”
I’ve named it in every place I can figure out. I thought after you hit “Submit” that was when you were allowed to name it.
Can’t see anything dealing with this in the manual.
Thanks

I haveb’t seen this warning before. What version of Compressor are you on?
With compressor v3, you can always save the batch and it will rename after saving it.

Not sure what could be causing this, but something is clearly not working correctly. You are right when you say that compressor SHOULD be prompting you to give you a name for the batch after you click on the Submit button. I’m not sure if there is any other way to name a batch.
Since something must be wrong, I’m going to suggest the common troubleshooting steps. Try restarting compressor. If that doesn’t do it, restart your computer. If you still aren’t having any luck, then I would try trashing the preference files for compressor (~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.compressor.Compressor.plist and ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Compressor.CompressorSharedService.plist). If that still doesn’t help, well, then I hope that another COW member comes along that has more knowledge than I do!
Good Luck To You,

You can save it and name it before submitting.
Try Compressor repair too:

Ah, good to know! I’ll have to try that the next time I’m working on compressor. I’ll be sure and add Compressor Repair to my arsenal of tools as well! Thanks Jeremy.
