Extracting black patches

[JPasnikowski]

I have a tour with 81 nodes; after 17 nodes, the patches come out black.

No error is thrown.
What do I do?

Scratch disk has over 400GB available

Hi,
I can not say I have seen this before.
Where are you extracting the patches?
Try a local drive or if you are using a local drive try changing the file format to say JPG, does that help?

I have been having this happen lately on tours that are more than a few nodes.

To try to figure out what's going on, I started by changing the filetype of the extracts to .jpg. Got the same results.

I rebooted and tried again with .jpg, and got 7 good images more than before:


So, I tried with .psd again, and got a good number more:


I use Google Drive file stream, so, technically, the files are saved locally before they sync, but I thought I'd test it saving only to a local, non-synced drive, in case there may have been some conflict. Results were worse:
.jpg:


.psd:


So, what do you suggest I try next?

Also, another thing I noticed in my testing-
In one of my tests, I had deleted the old patches, and created a new one, and I noticed those new ones a lot of those had black rectangles, but angled slightly with a little bit of a border of the actual image (I didn't get a screenshot because it wasn't relevant to the issue). I'm guessing what happened in that situation was the patches hadn't cleared out of the cache yet, and the new patches were based on the the image with the black patches, instead of having refreshed each node data before the extract. So, maybe a feature request that extracts wait until all pending changes have been updated in the caches?

Update: I tried clicking on each node and waiting for the preview to update on all 81 images, and then extracting, and they all came out, so I think the issue is a matter of the program generating patches from outdated cache data.
