General / Re: cancelling batch process

Oh thank goodness.  I did a quick test run on a small chunk, and indeed, the data for the completed steps were retained.
Thanks again!

General / cancelling batch process
« on: December 21, 2017, 09:39:22 PM »
Hi all,
I made the mistake of not selecting "save after each step" in a batch processing run, and now I'm wondering if I click cancel, whether I'll lose all the processing that has completed to this point.  Running Pro.  Thanks.

That worked!  Thanks!

It's still autopopulating, albeit less aggressively.  There's really no way to disable unpinned markers altogether?

Great!  No need for the coding at the moment, thanks!  Knowing how to have only manually placed markers will help immensely.

General / auto placement of blue-flag markers
« on: December 05, 2017, 12:51:59 AM »
Hi all,
Is there a way to permanently disable the auto placement of blue-flagged markers?  I only want markers where I hand place them.  Or is there a way to select multiple photos and clear all their markers at once?  I haven't found a way for either one.  The auto placed markers are really screwing things up.

Fixed it again - I had indeed pulled the plug before a number of (old) chunks had their directories resolved, and therefore didn't have thumbnails or frame files in their subfolders, so I repopulated them from a backup I made a week ago, and deleted the few chunks that were just lost (only three recombined chunks) and got it working again.  Thank goodness for the command line that tells you where the error is.

General / "error reading project" again
« on: December 03, 2017, 01:01:28 AM »
Hi all,
Seems I've messed up my project again.  Here's what happened:

Spent yesterday working on the project, involving a LOT of merging chunks.  Saved the project (which took about a half hour to save), closed the program.  The command line window stayed open when I'd closed the program (I have no recollection about what it said, other than there were several lines of possible errors, but I really don't remember the content), tried to unmount the harddrive that holds the project, and after 15 minutes of it continuing to tell me that it was still in use, I just pulled the USB (I know I know). 

Go to open the thing today and first, the directory is corrupted.  So I fixed that (teach me to pull a USB while it's realigning directories), and then tried to open the project.  It loads for about 30 seconds, and then I get the "Error reading project" dialog box.  Ok, have seen this before.  I cleaned out the references to two chunks that lost their subfolders and therefore might have been messing up the reference tree, but that didn't solve it this time.  I think the actual program (.psx) file might itself be corrupt.  I think that because the error pops up rather quickly - the last time it did this to me, there was a loading time that seemed reasonably comparable to the actual size of the project (just short of 500 chunks, kinda huge, usually takes upwards of 5 minutes to load, but with this new error, the estimated time to load is only a matter of seconds).

Is there any way to recover this?  I will have lost a week's work (which isn't the end of the world, just very disheartening to redo).  Let me know what y'all think.

Thanks!

General / chunk alingment
« on: November 02, 2017, 04:50:33 PM »
Hi everyone,

Here's what's going on.  I am modeling the streets of an ancient city (Pompeii). I have some 350 chunks, each of which is the face of a facade, and each has approximately 250 photos.  All of those have been aligned and the dense point clouds have been made. I've then gone through each chunk and manually put in markers of overlap, one corner of one city block to another, and across blocks and have individually aligned and merged them, but because I was adding in more markers, deleted each of the test merges as I went.  So all of my chunks have been registered [R], at some point.  I'm now going back through and trying to build the full model, one chunk to one chunk at a time, but am running into a snag.  As I (re)align all my chunks as I go, more often than not the process UNregisters the alignment of two chunks and then (obviously) won't merge them successfully.  Why is aligning two chunks (that had been successfully aligned) erasing their registration?  Sometimes it works, most of the time it doesn't.

Thanks!

I FIXED IT!!!  So the last chunk folder did not have subfolders in the /0/ directory, although the /frame/doc.xml file had references to those folders.  I deleted the chunk, then removed the line reference in the project_name.files/project.zip/doc.xml file and then it opened fine.  No loss.

Thanks very much!

I've figured out that it's definitely not that simple, that the issue is the file references between chunks that got changed in different instances running the project.  And I figured out the other files to which you had referred.  So given that this happened within 24 hours, would it be reasonable to delete the directories that were modified in the last 24 hours, and remove those chunk equations from the doc.xml file in the .files directory?

Ok, I've found two chunk folders in the .files directory that don't have references to them in the doc.xml listing.  Can I just add those reference lines to the end of the doc (before the closing tags) and have it work?  Or do they need to fall in a specific order (that I can't devine)?

Fantastic, thanks!

So I am indeed unsure of what to change.  Attached is the doc.xml file.  The Project has 332 chunks, each of which has somewhere between 100 and 500 photos that have been processed into sparse and dense point clouds, but nothing beyond (no meshes or textures yet).  The first 30 or so chunks have upwards of 25 to 20 hand-placed markers each.  No masks.

General / "error reading project"
« on: September 27, 2017, 08:29:46 AM »
Hi all,
Here's what happened:
I had done a lot of work on a project, had been saving regularly, but left the project open, closed my laptop and unplugged the drive on which the files are saved.  Hours later, I opened a second instance of the same project without closing the first instance, did more work on it, saved, and closed it.  I realized then that the first instance was still open, closed it and did not save at the prompt. Now I'm getting "error reading project" when I try to open it.  Which is reasonable since there are almost certainly mis-matched file refs.  Can I rescue this project with minimal loss and how?
Thanks much!
