#239 Photosynth Import Filter - "mfiVersion" error
When trying to import my photosynth located at url: http://photosynth.net/view.aspx?cid=5a93d65c-a095-4b52-b1f4-5d430df89172
When "Download Images" is checked, ClusterID=-1 (or any), and saveto = ./, the following failure message appears:
"Failure of filter: 'Import Photosynth data'
mfiVersion
[OK]"
39 point cloud layers are imported, and no cameras or vertices colors, when "Download Images" is unchecked.
Please advise! (Note the default photosynth for the filter, turtle at URL:http://photosynth.net/view.aspx?cid=e8f476c5-ed00-4626-a86c-31d654e94109, works fine with same settings"
Thank you for the great software!
Hello,
I tried to follow your instructions, but I couldn't replicate the behaviour you pointed out. Are you using the last SVN revision? I tested with that and the only problem is a random crash whose cause we are already trying to figure out.
In both cases I get the point cloud and the vertices colors correctly (when meshlab doesn't crash of course).
A hint: in order to see the per vertex color into the viewport you have to turn the lightning off (from the Render/Lightning menu) and to turn on per vertex color (from the Render/Color menu).
Lastly the camera layer isn't imported when the user doesn't choose to download images; this was a design choice because cameras are relevant when trying to align the point cloud to an image. I simply didn't think that someone could be interested in camera positions without images. Is that a feature request? :)
Regards
I am using 64-bit v1.3.0 on windows 7. I will look into trying to use he latest SVN revision.
Regarding the potential feature request: I think that the only reason, right now, I was looking for the camera positions when I did not download the images was that I was unable to download the images. There could be some other use-cases for that feature though, such as already having the high-resolution images and not wanting to re-download them.
Seems to be related to UAC settings. If meshlab is run as administrator then there is no issue. Where it tries to download images?
