[1.2.x] How to load the Markes XML file

[Simon_]

Hello,

I am trying to load my exported Markers back into the application via python.

My code so far:

Code: [Select]

import PhotoScan
import os

doc = PhotoScan.app.document
chunk = PhotoScan.app.document.addChunk()
chunk.label = "autoChunk"

# ChangeToYourPath
path_photos = YourPathToPhotos

image_list = os.listdir(path_photos)
for photo in image_list:
if ("jpg" or "jpeg" or "tif" or "png") in photo.lower():
print(path_photos + photo)
chunk.addPhotos([path_photos + photo])

PhotoScan.app.update()

chunk.crs = PhotoScan.CoordinateSystem("EPSG::4326")

# ChangeToYourPath
MarkersXML = YourMarkersXML

boolOut = chunk.loadReference(MarkersXML, "xml")

print("Does it work? -- " + str(boolOut))

chunk.updateTransform()

PhotoScan.app.update()
With the Dialog: Tools >> Import >> Import Markers... the program loads my XML file correctly.

The script above does not.

Whos spots the mistake?

Thanks!
Simon

Hello Simon,

First of all I need to comment that one of the lines is not working properly in your script (actually, it's my fault as I have originally posted that line before in some scripts here):

Code: [Select]

("jpg" or "jpeg" or "tif" or "png") in photo.lower():should be corrected to the following, for example:

Code: [Select]

photo.lower()[-3:] in ["jpg", "jpeg","tif","png"]:
As for the .loadReference() function - it is an equivalent to the Reference pane -> Import button. So you need to use chunk.importMarkers() function instead.
