I've just used the patch feature in the new software on a spherical gigapixel image, when I converted the patch back into the equi it messed up the original image (see attached). Ok yes, perhaps I should have saved it as a new file but I didn't think about it as it's always worked fine before. Fortunately I've outputted the interactive image before this happened, as I spent a lot of time creating the equi - which is now ruined
Hi Pete,
This is a bit odd, can you check your Image Cache Location/scratch drive as this smacks of a memory issue.
As you probably appreciate we have tested with many giga pixel images even full multi node tours as well as patching.
However a few things to note, when you use convert it changes the output name by default, so your wring to a new file, not trying to read and write to the same file at the same time.
I know this does actually work in V4 and in V5 but still not something I would do.

I've not setup the scratch drive that I usually use as I had only just installed the software. Though I was working from a solid state drive with over 80gb free. File size of the image is 8.25gb.
Ok I understand the reason for writing a new file now, didn't think it would be reading and writing to it at the same time.... perhaps that was the issue? I've never had a problem doing that before.
Animation ? I've not had time to look at any of the new features yet.
Yes it was fully loaded to my knowledge. I had just produced the interactive image, and then I converted the patched image back into the equi - which is when the file corrupted.
Sounds like temp location, but still I would not save to the same file, id let it make a new one then if it blows up you still have the original file.
You can aways delete the original file once its finished.

Hopki

Hi Pete,
I thought your new machine chewed through gigapixels without breaking into a sweat....??! I haven't quite taken the "plunge" yet, still falling back to 4.5.3 until I get my licence sorted.....
