Hi Gary,

9000 x 6000 is relatively small: only about 160 MB.  Double that if it's 16 bits/channel which is still pretty small.  Qimage can handle images 6-12 times that size easily.

So I wonder, what format are these images: TIFF, PSD, etc?

Also, do they have layers?  Sometimes layers can cause issues and flattening images will prevent problems.  I don't think it's the naming convention.  It's probably just the order in which they are accessed along with some incompatibility with layers.

Regards,
Mike

Great product, with great support.
I am running 2024.101 on a win10 machine.
I have been running into a lot of "Image Read Error" issues as it is generating the thumbnails.
Now some of these files are huge- I am printing a series of 40x60" prints- and downsizing them just a little works.
But often I see no cause.   
I had 3 variants of an image saved.   They were exactly the same file size.   The naming differed only by a number-- 1,2,3.
No other differences.  No spaces, symbols or anything.   
Two loaded normally, one gave me an image read error.   I renamed that file changing the number- and it loaded fine.

For example file name: sun n fun IR 041024 020895
File size is 9000x6001 pixels.
This gives me a "image read error"

None of this is a deal breaker- but is annoying.
Is there something I can change in my naming protocol?

Thanks in advance for any help and guidance.
Gary

If you go to "Utilities" on the top menu and choose the "Migrate..." option, it'll walk you through changing the location of the application data folder.

Yes, all is centralised on a server with 10G connection.  Can you point me out how to assign a different folder so I can try if this works for me?  I've been looking trough all menu's but can't find it.

Perhaps it is possible for future version to set the log folder independently?

Are all your images on the network?  A shared job log doesn't typically work well on two computers because a lot of the time each computer has its own local photos.  If everything is being done on the network I suppose you could set your Qimage application data folder to the same network location on both computers.  Then everything from thumbnails to saved jobs, job logs, printer setups, etc. could be shared.  You'd have to be careful choosing a network location as the application data folder, however, because it can have negative side effects.  For example, network folders are orders of magnitude slower than local drives.  And if it isn't available for any reason, it can cause crashes.

I use Qimage on two systems and rely a lot on the Job log to retrieve info for re-prints or invoices. I now sync the job folders with simple app a few times a week, but it would be nice if I could set a network folder to save the job logs instead.
Could that be a new feature?

Hi Mike, are u planning to add GPU support for image display? its been quiet on the release front for a while

No.  There would be little to no benefit to using the GPU to just display images.  Been pretty quiet on the camera and printer front too so not a lot of new stuff to support.  I'm working on the next paradigm shift in print quality but some of the work is dependent on third party tools so I'm at the mercy of other companies before I can implement them.  We've reacjed a local maximum with respect to print quality but these new tools will change that and allow us to leap forward.  It's just going to take some time.

I don't know anything about that printer but in searching online, it looks like you have to connect it to your PC via WiFi.  Take a look at this video.  If it works, the printer should show up in Qimage once it is added as a device in Windows:

I have no idea whether it works or not, but worth a try.

Some years ago I played with a Selphy CP xxx, that was connected via USB to an Windows-System. I had an ICC-profil and the results with Qimage have quite good.
Now I bought a new printer, a CP 1500.  But there was no software or driver. I found out: It is a Mopria Printer. This seemes to be quite a different world. No driver, no profiles.
I don't understand this maschine. Ok, printing from my smartphone works via WLAN. Any idea how to use this box from an "normal" windows box. The used driver is a Microsoft IPP-Class-driver.
Any idea to solve this issue.

Thanks
Winfried
