Hello Tony,
I thought I would start out with the obvious Earth model, and so I downloaded the srtm_ramp2.world.86400x43200.bin file and used the nmtools nms command to turn it into a png image.
I tried loading this png into the Infinmap converter but it won't load it, there is no error message, a windoe flashes up on screen briefly (to quick to read) but nothing happens.
Last time I tried this I had to reduce the .bin file in size repeatedly and keep converting to .pngs untill I found at 32k size Infinmap would load it.
Is Infinimap limited to what file sizes it can work with or is this a problem with my PC?
Well, in this case the limit would be a 2GB/4GB limit for PNG files, but I doubt that you're hitting it.
All conversions of images other than EXR or J2K as a source will need to generate a temp file though.
Basically, the image is read using the native LW image loaders, on a scanline by scanline basis, and then written to a temporary file (uncompressed!).
The temp file is then used as a source for the actual conversion process.
On a windows system the standard location for temporary files is used (open a command line and enter
echo %temp% to see where it is located). If that disk doesn't have enough space, the conversion will fail.
It should actually display an error, but I'll check the code again.
I'm downloading the data you mentioned now, and will see if I can reproduce the issue and get back.
Cheers,
Mike
