Archived - Feedback and Comments / A couple of stability issues

« on: August 10, 2005, 10:41:46 AM »

Two things I thought I'd mention so they can be placed on the bug list.

1)  When I tried to save an HTML photo fusion page while the 3D display was up, TopoFusion crashed.

2)  I had Topofusion up with (I think) the 2D plot displayed and decided to start up Google Earth (http://earth.google.com).  Both programs essentially froze and I had to kill both applications several times to finally get rid of them.  Probably some graphics resource conflict, and I don't know if blame could really be assigned to either, but it would be better if the programs could fail gracefully.

I have not checked to see whether either problem was repeatible.

Shoot!  Not this weekend then.  '>

Seriously, I'm glad there is a workaround.  It can be a bit tedious when there are lots of pages you want to generate, but it's still workable.

I figured out a crude hack--save the screen image while viewing Landsat tiles, then immediately perform the HTML generation, and finally replace aerial.jpg with the saved image.  The registration seemed to be identical, or at least adequate for the purposes of the imagemap.

I may use my hack to publish a preliminary travelogue this week, but I look forward to an integrated capability.  Great tool, thanks for all your work!

Two feature requests, both driven by my recent trip to Guatemala.

1.  Provide a way to choose LandSat imagery (or just use the currently displayed imagery) when generating a PhotoFusion HTML page.  There is neither aerial nor topographic data available for Guatemala, so LandSat is the only way to display anything.  The scenery at Lake Atitlan (14.7N, 91.2W) is stunning, and the combination of photographs with the PhotoFusion layout would be a great presentation.  Currently, i just get "No map available for this location and tileset" in the HTML page.

2.  Provide a brightness control for the textures used in the 3D image--the LandSat data is awfully dark to begin with and just gets darker in 3D.
