This was my main issue. It was NOT working fine. It could be user error but it is unlikely as I tried it like 10-15 times in different ways each time trying to isolate more about what was going on.
I understand that you believe that you have coded for this specific use case. But, for whatever reason, it wasn't working.
Can you provide me a set of steps you would believe would fix the issue? I will try it and let you know what happens.
ex:
Step 1. close all programs
Step 2. delete all xmp files.
...
This is standard DNG behavior. It works since years for DNG files and should work for GPR files also. At least it did in all of my tests.
To start over, just right click on the folder in LRTimelapse and "Clear all LRTimelapse editing". This will not clear the embedded XMPs, but everything else.
Then start over. You could
use this instructions for some troubleshooting.
Quote:Demosaicing:
I understand that this may not be trivial from a programming perspective. However, from an end user perspective it is frustrating because it appears that you can do that same thing at a later stage in the visual previous process. Why not earlier? (I know it is not that simple.)
Demosaicing was added as a last fallback for files that come without previews. Any decent camera embeds previews into the raw files, for performance reasons. GoPro is not doing so. Of course I will be researching for faster solutions, the current way was a quick approach to allow working with those files. Not streamlined for performance yet.
But to be honest: gopro support is not on the very top of my priority list because the gopro is still a camera that is not really outstanding for timelapse photography (you still can't operate it in manual mode).
Quote:Demosaicing side effect:
Upon trying to create another timelapse I found an additional issue. When I am trying to use the import tool from my memory card it appears that the single threaded demosaicing is a bottleneck in the transfer process.
It is transferring like 100x slower for these files than it normally does when I use the filesystem tools. And, I only ever see one adobe raw icon pop up in the dock.
Yes, you are right. This is a side effect with the current approach. If you can work without the previews or with some selective previews only, don't use the LRT importer for now.
Multithreading might speed it up a bit but it still will be slow because it doesn't solve the problem that we are forced to use demosaicing because of the lack of previews.
Like I said, I will work on this but it might take some time.
