Unable to Open a Canon 1DX file

[twade]

To all,

First, I'm using PixInsight 1.8 RC5, and it is an awesome improvement over version 1.7.  By far the best PixInsight ever.     It's significantly faster with lost of improvements.  Awesome job Juan and others.

While attempting to open a Canon EOS-1D X file, I get the following error:

'Noncontinuable system exception'

Perhaps, the Canon 1DX is not in the list of files that can be decoded?  I do have to admit, I removed the raw keyword from the input line.  I was a little confused as to its necessity due to the fact these were .CR2 files rather than CFA monochrome files.  I'm starting to think, I should have kept the raw keyword in since both are "RAW" files.  This is likely the reason I'm getting the error; however, just in case it is not, I'm letting you all know of the potential "problem".

To all,

I tried it again with raw in the input format hints section and raw cfa in the output format hints.  I got the following error:

Batch Debayer Script v1.2.6 Completed.

It appears the BatchFormatConversion script may be broken in 1.8 RC5.

Any suggestions?

Hi Wade,

These problems should be gone with version 1.8.0 RC7. Can you confirm this?

I have released an update that fixes the problems with the BatchFormatConversion script. Sorry for the trouble.

Juan,

I have just updated to latest version of PixInsight v1.8 RC7.  Unfortunately, DCRAW is still having difficulty with Canon 1DX files.  Here is the output:

Hi Wade,

I have just released an update that fixes this bug on all platforms. Canon EOS-1D X raw files can now be loaded without problems in PixInsight 1.8.0 RC7.

Sorry for the inconvenience, and thank you for sending me a raw file that has helped me to find and fix this bug.

Juan,

You are awesome.  It worked perfectly.  I'm glad the file I sent you helped in your bug patrol.
