Hi all,
Today I stumbled upon an issue with the ChartGenerator.
I'm using it to create histograms of data from 17 data sets. I'm using a workspace runner to batch process and create the histograms with the ChartGenerator transformer, but writing the output to file using fme_basename is not possible. Can anyone guide me to a solution where the 17 generated histograms are written to unique png-files?

Usually I would expect that you would have to include fme_basename in the Group By-setting of the ChartGenerator to preserve it, but that does indeed not seem to work. It might be a bug and you should consider reporting it to Safe.
As a workaround you can incorporate something like a Counter after the ChartGenerator to help you generate new and unique output filenames for each resulting raster.
