Change path/replace photos

[Elki]

Hello,

I'm trying to adapt this script to Metashape, but without success (I'm not competent in python).

I just tried to substitute PhotoScan with Metashape, but when I run it, the software doesn't recognize the attribute "replace".

Code: [Select]

chunk = Metashape.app.document.chunk
for i in range (len(chunk.cameras)):
    chunk.cameras[i].frames[0].path = chunk.cameras[i].path.replace(".dng", ".jpg")
Could anyone help? Thank you!

I just saw in the last version it is possible to change path AND file format with the change path command.

Thank you for this feature!

Hello Elki,

Please let me know, if you have any issues with the file type switching via Change Paths GUI option.

It worked fine. I just "lost" the 10% of the pictures' chunk because the software says those are "resized".

I'm bumping this thread because I had to change the script to work with the current version of Metashape. This is what I used to change tif to jpg. If you want to do it the other way, just swap them.

Also it took me a while to figure out I had to make a file with extension .py and press CTRL+R to select and run it. I kept trying to paste it into the console like you would do with ArcGIS

ch = Metashape.app.document.chunk
for i in range (len(ch.cameras)):
    ch.cameras.photo.path = ch.cameras.photo.path.replace(".tif", ".jpg")

Hello DayGeckoArt,

Seems that you have a typo in the posted script - ch.cameras list element is not defined. Also I suggest to skip Animation track cameras to avoid unexpected issues:

Code: [Select]

ch = Metashape.app.document.chunk
for i in range (len(ch.cameras)):
    if ch.cameras[i].type != Metashape.Camera.Type.Regular:
        continue
    ch.cameras[i].photo.path = ch.cameras[i].photo.path.replace(".tif", ".jpg")

EDIT: Ooops what I pasted above isn't what ended up working. This is what I did that has worked in a couple projects:

Code: [Select]

ch = Metashape.app.document.chunk
for i in range (len(ch.cameras)):
    ch.cameras[i].photo.path = ch.cameras[i].photo.path.replace(".tif", ".jpg")
