metashape wont show jpg in add photo

[Steve003]

Hi,
having firstly tried photoscan 1.2.6 and browsed to the jpg folder, added the photos there and aligned them (all ok)  I now try metashape to see if I get any failures, but it shows no jpg in the folder yet they are still there. relaunch it and try again, even choose jpg from file type list lower right but its as if the folder is empty.

unable to add photos to project.

aim it at another folder, also shows it with no files to pick from, its gone blind as it were !

Hello Steve,

Please post a screenshot.

Are you sure that you are using Add Photos option and not Add Folder?

Hi, found the culprit. me

I had navigated to a folder of almost same name, had raw file canon cr2 in it !

however add photos now ok,

HOWEVER...metashape fails to align , 4 failed, yet photoscan did all of them 

see email 11 july  15:46 where pscan 1.2.6 failed 12 and metashape 20 same settings. good qlty pics as well
Nothing to do with blame on pics as far as I can see. if it was then pscan would fail same or even more.

These this time being long and thin had d.o.f fall off, unavoidable yet pscan no probs.

Regards

Steve
