Troubleshooting Guide
Fix local AI processing issues or use LM Studio as a workaround.
Important: Performance Trade-off
When using the LM Studio workaround (CPU inference), processing a file takes approximately 10–14 seconds instead of ~0.5 seconds with GPU acceleration. This is because CPU inference is significantly slower than GPU processing.
Before You Start
First, check these common issues:
- 1Update your GPU drivers – Make sure you have the latest drivers for your graphics card (NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel).
- 2Install the latest RenameClick version – Download the newest version from the website.
- 3Ensure at least 4 GB of free RAM – The local AI model requires sufficient memory to run.
If these steps don't resolve your issue (e.g., Intel Arc GPU, insufficient VRAM, or CPU fallback problems), try the LM Studio workaround below.
