Unfortunately, I had performed the initial batch attempt using the Batch
Gui Processor. So my initial set of files was in my output directory, while
the make.exe is putting the files in the C:/Users/User directory (windows
7). Hoping to trick the tool, I moved all the intermediate files into the
latter directory. Unfortunately this did not work: The make.exe is writing
all new files, even though an existing one exists with that name.

Can anyone tell me what is going on? Thanks.

'make' looks at the timestamps of the files, so it doesn't just look to see if the 'target' file already exists, but it also makes sure that it is newer than all the 'prerequisite files'.

Note that the 'prerequisites' for any 'target' can include the photos, the .pto project and any intermediate TIFF files.

P.S. I have also tried to edit the mk file directly and delete the steps
that have already been completed. I presume this can be made to work, but
I'm not succeeding at it yet, as the structure isn't trivial to follow :-)

The Makefile syntax is fairly straightforward, but these Makefiles have been generated by software, so they are not so easy to follow.
