Project not loading process icons (AGAIN)
« on: 2013 July 21 15:31:06 »
Hello
Yesterday I saved a project which included several process icons and at least one image.
Today I opened the project in order to continue processing but
No process icons where loaded just one image...
This is the second or third  time I have to deal with this.

On console there was some error (see attached image).

Why does this happen?

Hi Geert,

This happens because there are incorrect numbers in your project ("1.#IO" is the peculiar way Microsoft has to tell us that it is a NaN, or a "not-a-number" floating point entity). These incorrect things usually come from images calibrated or edited by other applications, but there are also some PI processes that can generate them under strange conditions.

If you attach the .xosm file zipped to a post here, I'll take a look and most likely will be able to recover most of your icons.

Thank You Juan

I attached the compressed xosm.
I really don need the included objects anymore (I already begun a new project whit this images), but it would be interesting to know what is causing this.

This is set of process icons I load every time I begin a a new project with this camera, and then replace the images with new ones and begin processing. Then I save the set as a new project.  No other software is involved. Calibration, alignment, stacking, etc is all done in PI.

Hi Geert,

For some reason this project file contains an invalid "aperture" field value for one of your images. The file path is:

G:/Mis Imagenes/2013-07-15 Cajon del Maipo 5DMKII/IMG_1833.CR2

In theory this cannot happen with current versions of the DSLR_RAW module, so it is very strange. Anyway, I have attached the fixed version of your .xosm file. It should load without problems.

Hello Juan

It happened again, Can you tell me how you repaired the project?
Curiously it happened to the new project I created with the same image set.
I saved the project without problems yesterday and now I will open it again  and get this on the console:

Reading image: IMG_1821_c4_RGB_Bilinear
*** Parse Error: Parsing floating point expression: conversion error:
1.#IO
..^
** Warning: Skipping unknown 'fitsKeywords' project element.
** Warning: Skipping unknown 'geometry' project element.
** Warning: Skipping unknown 'viewport' project element.
** Warning: Skipping unknown 'MainView' project element.
* Regenerating masking relations
* Updating workspaces
** Warning: The project has been loaded partially with 1 error(s).

I attached the .xosm file, just in case....

Hello Juan

I already found out how you repaired the project file. And found the same error in the new project, but on a distinct  .CR2 file.
I will look into the fits header of the Canon 5D MKII files to see if that comes from the file itself or it is made up by PI.

Hello
I looked at the "ApertureValue" on exif of my canon 5DMKII .cr2 raw images using ExifTool, and all have  a value of 1.$

So I think  this should/can not be considered as a floating point value unless it is used on some computation (Is it?).

edit:
I found an interesting link about the same issue:
https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=29609
It seem that 1.$ is equivalent  to overflow, or to F/0 
And the cause is I am using a telescope instead of a lens.
Now, If I open my images (the jpg's) on Adobe Cs2 I see Fstop=f/0.0  and ApertureValue >f/1024.
and in Corel Photo album info for lens aperture is F/1.$ (2147483648.00)

Regards
Geert
