The Job Queue

Every conversion runs as a job. By the end of this page you'll be able to read any job's state and act on it.

Start something from a utility and it joins a shared queue that runs in the background. You can switch utilities, or close the window to the tray, while jobs run.

Open the Job Queue from the System section of the sidebar. It has two lists:

• Active — queued and running jobs, each with a live progress bar and status message. Empty, it reads "No jobs running. Start one from a utility."
• Recent — jobs that finished, failed, or were canceled. Clear finished tidies the list. Your history is remembered across restarts.

Job statuses

A sixth status, paused, exists in the job data model but no current job ever enters it.

Per-job actions

Which buttons appear depends on the job's status:

• Cancel — stop a queued or running job.
• Retry — run a failed or canceled job again.
• Open — open the finished file in its default app.
• Reveal — show the finished file in File Explorer.
• Copy log — copy the job's log to your clipboard.
• Remove — delete a finished, failed, or canceled job from the list. The output file stays.
• Log — expand to read the step-by-step log and any error detail.

Running several jobs at once

BizTray runs multiple jobs simultaneously, up to the Job concurrency setting (1–16, see Settings). Extra jobs wait and start automatically as slots free up.

What usually goes wrong

A failed job explains itself in its Log. Expand it, read the last lines, and use Copy log if you need to keep the detail.
