Image previews missing

[Kirk Baker]

No worries.  I will give it a shot from the USB drive.

Unrelated question.  I saw that PhotoMechanic tells us if there is a new build to download.  Doesn't Photo Mechanic Plus do that? Is there a way to be notified if there is a new build to try?

Yes, it does the same thing.  It will notify you when a new build is available unless you've turned off the updates checking.

Hi Kirk

I got the external HDD, a 12 TB WD Elements. I copied all the images from my NAS to the external HDD.  I deleted my existing catalog, created a new catalog and included images from my 2TB SSD and 12TB HDD to the catalog.  The catalog itself is on the 500GB SSD of Mac Mini.

The catalog is built, but "Catalog Image Preview Generation" is stuck at 11357 batches remaining since yesterday.

I did a full sync to see if it changes anything.  It did not. 

The catalog itself is 12.31GB on my disk, which is an improvement from before (NAS) but I have 141k images, so the numbers don't match the 35-40GB disk space expected.

I have attached the catalog screen where it hangs and the PM log file.

The catalog is built, but "Catalog Image Preview Generation" is stuck at 11357 batches remaining since yesterday.

Thanks for the logs.

It appears the Preview Generation stall is due to a bug causing a Catalog sub-program to abort when loading TIFF files. (E.g. 20100410-_SAK5636_HDR.tif)

We have a fix completed in our development branch, and ready for the next PM Plus build, which should be deployed soon.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Sounds good Bill, thanks.

This build addresses the problem: http://forums.camerabits.com/index.php?topic=13781.0

Please give it a try.

Hi Kirk

Should I start a new catalog? Or do a full sync? How do I regenerate proxies?

[Bill Kelly]

Hi,

Should I start a new catalog? Or do a full sync? How do I regenerate proxies?

I'd recommend a Full Sync for now, which will attempt to generate missing proxies. The latest build should prevent it from getting stuck where it used to.

(Note that based on indications from your logfiles, there may be some subset of proxies which are not detected as missing, due to an apparent mismatch between the proxy database and files actually present in the proxies folder. This latest build will not yet resolve that unexpected case, so you may still end up with a few gaps after the Full Sync. I expect our next build of PM Plus to be able to repair any such gaps.)

Regards,

Bill

Thanks. I am doing a full sync now. I will update how it goes and the log file.

[obelix74]

I got the new build, started a full sync.  It is stuck at "Catalog Image Preview Generation" 11344 batches for over an hour now.

I have attached screenshots and logs.

tail -f on dyn.log shows me that it is spinning here endlessly.

Would you mind posting the full log files, please?

Sorry, I thought I uploaded it along with the screenshots.  Attached again.

[Kirk Baker]

Could you please try this build? https://www.camerabits.com/download/PhotoMechanicPlusR5415_5266cf93.dmg

The sample image you provided is damaged.  It won't decode properly, but the catalog task shouldn't crash on it either.  I have made changes to the library to prevent that crash from occurring again.

Thanks,

-Kirk

[obelix74]

Ok. Is there a new build for me to try?

[obelix74]

Sorry just saw the new build.
