Bug Reports / Placed markers disappear from unaligned photos with "refine marker..." checked

« on: September 26, 2017, 12:13:35 AM »

The setting "refine marker projections based on image content" is great, but it also removes placed markers from unaligned photos. I'd like to be able to set a few markers to help align troublesome photos without changing settings. Please consider skipping automatic marker adjustment for unaligned photos. Thanks!

Using PhotoScan Professional x64, latest version (1.3.4 b5067).

Bug Reports / Moving Photos to a New Chunk Rotates All Portrait-Oriented to Landscape

« on: October 28, 2016, 10:02:27 PM »

If you select a mix of portrait-oriented and landscape-oriented photos and move them to a new chunk with the right-click context menu, the process rotates all of the portrait-oriented photos so that all photos in the new chunk are landscape-oriented.

A minor inconvenience. Version 1.2.6-2834.

Bug Reports / Import Mask for Portrait-Oriented Photos Sometimes Upside-Down

« on: October 28, 2016, 09:46:40 PM »

Someone turned on the date stamp before taking several hundred photos. I created a JPG mask and exported it, then selected all of the landscape-oriented photos and imported the mask (from file, replacement, selected cameras) with no problem. But when I did the same thing for portrait-oriented photos, about half of the masks ended up in the upper-left corner instead of the lower-right. Windows and the PhotoScan Photos pane agree which way is "up" in those photos, so I'm not sure why this happened. I think the orientation came from the Canon camera, if that makes a difference.

This is a very minor bug. Version 1.2.6-2834, on Windows 10.

Thanks!

Feature Requests / Better Photo View Keyboard Shortcuts

« on: October 28, 2016, 09:29:51 PM »

I've been masking a few thousand photos, and I find the current shortcuts unnecessarily difficult (1.2.6-2834). For example, "add selection" should not require three keys (ctrl-shift-a) if "a" is available. Just "a" alone would be much easier. Similarly, "s" could subtract the selection.

I would also appreciate alternative next/previous photo keys of "x" and "z" or something that doesn't require me to move my hand back-and-forth across the keyboard for each photo. Page down/up could still also do next/previous, if it's okay to have multiple options.

Perhaps "d" could toggle between enabling and disabling a photo, and shift-d to remove.

I see that custom shortcut keys have been requested since 2012, but perhaps some alternative or replacement shortcuts would be easier (trivial?) to implement -- and save my wrists.

Thanks!
