SNS-HDR Pro 2.0 Beta

[Sebastian Nibisz]

The problem is that the output filename passed back to the plugin gets truncated during further processing by the plugin code. This is the reason why no output file is found where it should be. After reading the filename from snshdr_callback the plugin trims leading and pending quotes - which do exist in SNS-HDR 1 but they don't in v2.

Please check the new version (2.0.0.7).
I also enabled option for the 360° panorama mode.

sebastian please integrates DCRaw 9.27 in the beta of SNS-HDR 2

Please check the new version (2.0.0.7).

I'm sorry, the handover of the HDR to LR still does not work.

I converted one image using SNS-HDR 1.x and 2. Here is the contents of the .snshdr_callback file:
1.x -> "C:\Temp\3AC36594-A71E-45C4-A191-4FCC01EB599E\P3015506_HDR_1.tif"
2 ----> c:\temp\b9d52a7c-7738-4117-bdbb-bbf0c192c5c3\p3015506_hdr_1.tif

The quotes are still missing in v2 which causes the LR plugin to return a "wrong" (crippled) file name due to "return string.sub(processedImage, 2, -3)".
(meanwhile I know how to fix it myself, but others probably won't and it's not compatible with 1.x).

And, interestingly v2 now completely converts the tif file name to lower case instead of upper case before?
What is the source of that case conversion?
Sure, this is just cosmetics and has nothing to do with the logic.

I noticed another thing regarding the control flow when working with the LR plugin that I really would like to see improved.

Once the HDR image is ready I used to click "x" (close window) in 1.x.
I was then asked if I want to save the file, and after doing so the program closed and LR took over again.
v2 asks me if I want to save the project. I don't want to because I just want the HDR, so I explicitely save the HDR file.
Upon clicking "x" I am asked again if I want to save the file!?

My wish setting for this type of thing would be the following:
User can define in Preferences whether he wants to work with SNS project or TIF file by default.
Whenever the program shall be exited, the corresponding data will be saved.
Does that make sense?

Done.

The quotes are still missing in v2 which causes the LR plugin to return a "wrong" (crippled) file name due to "return string.sub(processedImage, 2, -3)".
(meanwhile I know how to fix it myself, but others probably won't and it's not compatible with 1.x).

Please check the new version, I changed the Qt callback function.

I fixed this.

Version 2.0.0.8

Also I added the "quiet" mode for the command line options.

Thank you Sebastian. I'll try it now.

Many thanks for the quick fix, Sebastian. Much appreciated!

Unfortunately, I need to report that the behaviour is still not compatible with Michael Koetters plugin. There is slight difference in .snshdr_callback file that causes the plugin code to work with wrong output file name.

For some reason, in v1 there was a trailing blank after the file name that was considered to be removed along with the quotes by

SNSHDRProcess.lua#73 return string.sub(processedImage, 2, -3)

Maybe this helps to do the final amendment so that everybody can use the existing plugin with the new version of SNS-HDR

Thanks

Thanks. One more attempt.

Nope. No trailing blank after the closing double quote:

That's strange the plugin is working for me. I've tried it five times now with different bracket sets. Once I press Save in SNS the program does it's business and then minimises. Lightroom doesn't automatically open up, it's running minimised on the desktop at this point but if I click on it the file is there from SNS. File name is xxxxxxxx_SNSHDR_5.tif. Where the x's are the last file name in a bracket set of 5

Just an update to my post. I was running Windows 10 in Tablet mode. When I switched back to normal desktop mode. Lightroom did not minimise when I sent the Bracket set to SNS.
