Batch Processing from GUI (File menu or toolbar button) may cause the analysis template file size to unexpectedly grow each time it is used. This only happens if template contains certain types of analyses.

The solution is to set the system variable: @BST=0. It is default by 1. When it is 1, the theme used for Batch Processing is stored in the analysis template. but due to internal issues when using the GUI, additional data will get saved into the template file. When set to 0, neither the theme information nor the extra data is saved in the file.

Save Project uses OPJ extension after Appending OPJ file

If user open and OPJU file and later Append an old OPJ file. Then click Save Project project button failed to save to the OPJU file. It wrongly saved the file with OPJ extension.

Workaround: Click File: Save Project As... to save as OPJU.

Important: Due to this issue, there is the potential to overwrite an existing pre-Origin2018 OPJ file that happens to have the same name as the OPJU file. So if Appending OPJ to an OPJU file, be sure to choose Save Project As and not simply Save Project.
