Error in processing

[idor]

Thanks for the amazing script!
I use csx 1_4_5 with photoshop cs4  and windows 7. It has been running for a long time  without any issues. recently It is stuck . i am getting a window in photoshop saying Error in processing: required value is missing. look in the csx logfile for more details: appData/roaming/xtools/contact sheet x.log Report failures (with the log file here: http/sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=173281 sat id 864854
Any idea how to proceed?
this script for me is a life saver! I am a photographer and use it to create a proof sheet. It would take me forever to do myself
what this script used to do for me in 5 minutes!
Thank you!

It is failing because you have 'Background' selected for the caption font color. I have been able to reproduce it on my machine and will try to get a fix to you in a couple of days.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Please dont bother with the color of the caption as I dont care about that. I was not aware that a 'background 'color was selected. As long as i can select a background color for the document then all is good. I run a test here and it is working perfectly. Thank you again. your script and work is highly appreciated.
