Pre-Backup delay

Hello ,

I am using version 1.1.2 and have the following problem:
BEFORE the backup process is started, I have to execute a batch file whose result is included in the backup.
For this I have entered the batch file in pre-backup events.
Unfortunately the backup process does not wait until the batch file has been processed. The backup is even faster finished than the batch file.....
Here you have to add a delay or Cobian has to make sure that the commands in pre-events are completely processed before the backup is started.
Can this be realized in one of the next updates?

Are you using Execute and wait?

No, because it is the other way around. Cobian must wait for the batch file to finish.

That's exactly what Execute and wait means: execute the batch and wait for its completion.
