Trouble report 58
New images sometimes seem to overwrite old ones
Versions affected
V2.0 - V2.2.
Description
Sometimes when you are working on a project using the Classic interface, new images you
create using commands from the New image menu seem to overwrite existing images. The
thumbnails display the correct image, but when you double-click the thumbnail it displays
an incorrect image.
This problem happens only if:
- You have already saved the project,
- Automatic recovery is enabled on the Options dialog (Tools menu), and
- You create several new images of the same type (e.g. resized or enhanced) using commands
from the New image menu.
Workaround
If you experience this problem, don't despair. Although it appears that your new
images have replaced existing ones, your project file is still intact and still contains
the recipes for creating all of the images from your imported images.
To recover the missing images, follow these steps:
- Save your project. Don't worry that it seems that some images are missing.
- Disable automatic recovery on the Options dialog (Tools menu).
- Using the Windows file explorer, locate your Panorama Factory project.
- Remove the image files that have the same type as the missing images (e.g. resized or
enhanced).
- Re-open the project in The Panorama Factory.
NOTE: Never remove imported image files. The Panorama Factory uses
these to recreate the new images from their recipes.
Status
Corrected in V2.3
