Enable the Process Tamer log file, and check that from the GUI.
okay, I did that, and re-started the process.  The Log file says:

Sun Jul  8 12:31:32 2018  -> Forcing priority Above Normal due to explicit rule | acemd-918-80.exe

...
The thing is that these jobs take between 10 and 14 hours, so I don't always have a chance to watch what's happening when a job gets finished and a new one starts.  Some time this happens during the night, some time I am not at home exactly at that moment, ...
5 Minutes ago, I was lucky and could watch what was happening when acemd.exe was closed because a job got finished, and a new job (and hence acemd.exe) started:

There was the Windows Notification below on the right hand side, saying that Process Tamer is changing the priority of acemd.exe to "above normal" - but when I checked this seconds later, the priority was "below normal".  As shown in the Windows task Manager as well as in the PT GUI - see here:
Process Tamer_2.JPG
so something is going wrong  :(

It's too bad that I can't tell whether one of the following two scenarios happened during last night:

1) acemd.exe stopped after finishing a job, then restarted with a new job, PT changed the priority to "above normal", and lateron, at some point of time, acemd.exe changed the priority back to "below normal".

2) acemd.exe stopped after finishing a job, then restarted with a new job, and - for whatever reason - PT did NOT change the priority to "above normal".  Although I had seen PT already once (some time yesterday) changing the priority right when acemd.exe started.

The thing is that these jobs take between 10 and 14 hours, so I don't always have a chance to watch what's happening when a job gets finished and a new one starts.  Some time this happens during the night, some time I am not at home exactly at that moment, ...

unfortunately, I was too early when saying that everything works well now.
Last night, when a running acemd.exe got finished and a new one startet, the new one stayed "below normal".
The Windows Task Manager as well as the entry in the ProcessTamer GUI shows this - see screenshot attached.Process Tamer.JPG (although the Explicit Rule says "fore above normal".
So, sometime it works, sometime it doens't.  Too bad  :(

@Erich56, have you already downloaded and used the latest PT as released this week?
no, I havn't - since two days ago Mouser has recommended me to try the x64 beta (which I installed an hour ago and which, at least at this point, seems to work) -I didn't even know that there was a new version released this week - I had not detected a download link for it either.
