Hello!
I recently bumped into some really weird problem. I made a favorite preset wich is puts 1.5 sec silence to the end of the file. It works in the waveform editor without any issue:
Id like to use this preset in batch process. And the problem is as shown in the picture the waveform is cut off. Did I made a mistake or is it a bug?
Preset looks like this:
Thanks for help!

The answer to this is that you aren't creating the silence properly, so yes, a mistake, I'm afraid! I have a preset that creates silence at both ends of a clip, and the important bit is how you set up the silence itself. Here's what you have to do:
You can ignore the start setting - it's the others that count. You'll notice that there is no start and end time specified, because this is measured as absolute from the end of the file (so it works with any length file). To specify the amount of time to insert, then you have to click on the 'insert silence' box and select it there - as in the screen grab. That should work fine. I don't think that the final selection box matters that much, but for use in a batch process, you might want to set it so that it's all zeros again, although you'd have to experiment with that. Your version only needs the two lines though - not the first one shown in mine.
Okay I have tested this. It's on a PC (you haven't specifed what you are using). I created a new Favourite that ends up looking like this:
I created a bunch of five test files - all different lengths - and put them into the batch processor, and processed them using the preset. All of the files came out correctly extended by 1.5 seconds with nothing truncated. So here it's working correctly...
