PLEASE add a “resume” feature if any Step crashes or the computer dies.
I just spent days processing to have it wiped out by losing electricity…and yes a battery backup would have saved me but other software like RealityCapture will “resume” on premature exit.
It would be great I you could add a pause and resume feature. I have just had to terminate a project 's processing after 30 hrs processing then start again because I had to move the computer.
I agree that such a feature would be useful, particularly if something unexpected such as an electricity cut happens, or if one needs to move the computer and thus needs to stop the processing. I think this is related to the feedback about a pause button, as both help to cope with unexpected events.
Such a feature would require saving the current status of the software for every action done in the software, which would mean a refactoring over a large part of the code base, which would be a large amount of work. I have reported the feedback to our Product Manager and I would encourage anyone that would like to see this feature to vote on the post (thumbs up) or to leave a comment.
We all pay good money for Pix4D because it is the best and having a reasonable resume is something your competition already has as a feature. Even an every 60 minute “auto-save” would be a HUGE addition to the software.
Agree. Do not need to save every step… just checkpoints every hour so as Adam suggests and/or when commanded by a pause and save button. Should be little to no overhead.
The competition is doing this already and as the gigapixel count continues to increase then this becomes a bigger and bigger issue. I no longer process the point cloud and mesh at the same time in Step 2 for fear of crashing and losing the progress.
I just needed to resume so I marked only the 3rd step was not completed and selected “start”.
It seems to be working well as a “resume” option
