I want to try to make sure to explore all possible causes / solutions so this AppHangB1 error does not re-occur / persist Since the problem started in version 1.5 and has persisted to version 2.0.0.5, I'm wondering if there is something "interfering" with OV3, or if there is an error that is persisting across versions, or.
#OLYMPUS VIEWER 3 FAILED TO SAVE FILE UPGRADE#
I may be wrong and I know it is a common computer troubleshooting method to upgrade to the newest version, but I'm not currently convinced that is going to solve the problem long term.

Security Task Manager - Windows 10, 8, 7, XP process viewerĪs I mentioned, I need to do more research, but right now, I'm thinking of downloading one of the more detailed Task Manager Tools so I can better see what is going on when I use OV3 and get the AppHangB1 error message before I try to update to version 2.1.

(I still need to do more research- I'm posting these links to make it easier for me to find them again. I've been working on another project, so I haven't been able to devote a lot of time to troubleshooting / problem solving, but some quick web searches found some patterns / common recommendations.

Check for and Install latest Software updates I've since noticed that a new cmdBatch process opens / persists each time OV3 opens / becomes unresponsive. Viewing the Task Manager, I've noticed multiple open cmdBatch processes consuming a lot of resources. When trying to problem solve the issue prior to calling Olympus Tech Support, my computer started slowing way down. Hopefully, the update process will go smoother with an uninstall / fresh install. Previous attempts to update the OV3 software were unsuccessful due to "server errors."
(This may or may not save the edits made in the OV3 program during the uninstall / reinstall process.)Īpparently this is an "unusual problem," so I'll keep this updated for any one else encountering this problem.Ī Couple Side Notes Related to my System / Problem: My Documents -> My Pictures -> Olympus Viewer 3 (He thinks the problem is due to old software.)Ģ.
Try to update to the newest version of the OV3 software via uninstall / reinstall. If anyone has any more tips of hints on getting the best out of Olympus.
I figured the ORF>TIFF step would also be of interest to Lightroom users so I'd share it. I'm aware that there are more bits in a TIFF than a JPG so it seems sensible that it's a better place to begin when editing. I've just had a play with OV3, exporting to TIFF with neutral settings, then loading in GIMP editing and exporting as JPG and it does seem to give you more to play with.Īs a two step for processing an image it's not too painful and I could even batch process TIFFs from OV3 to play with later. Then I came across this video which relates to earlier versions of Olympus Viewer 2 and Lightroom 4 and shows how much more detail OV2 could extract from the same ORF file. Googling Olympus Viewer doesn't give a lot of help, mostly people suggesting that you abandon it and use Adobe Lightroom I've tried editing the ORF files from my E-M10 and E-PL5 in Olympus Viewer 3 and struggled - partly because the interface is complicated, the help is pretty minimal and also because it's s o s l o w. I've fairly recently moved to shooting JPG+RAW having previously shot JPG (no editing) then JPG with some post processing in GIMP.
