Problem with STRUCURE TO FILE

voxdeserti's picture

Please Help! Got a problem with writing image histogram info to file. When I make all necessary connections and press 'write' button QC doesn't create .plist file...

Maybe the path name is wrong? Attached a composition that works for me, saves in the same folder as the composition.

The Patch is quite clear. Unfortunately I can save only a definite member of a structure - not a whole one. Strange thing...

I might not understand you clearly, what are you trying to accomplish? Do you have an example composition what's going wrong?

The same patch as you have sent works on my MBP with no result, i.e. it doesn't save a structure. I've tried to save separate members of a structure and it worked. But no result for a whole structure((

That's quite strange. Did you try starting a clean QC (with only the file tools in the patches folder)? And the latest version http://kineme.net/release/FileTools/04

When you save and then load with the attached composition do you get this output when hovering with your mouse over the structure output of the structure from file patch?

Re: Problem with STRUCURE TO FILE

well are you actually reading any plist file? do you know where it is? it might be lost, or saving to a place where you have no permissions. other than installing kineme plugz i have no advice... how large is the structure? by the way if it has pictures i wont save :) hugs bern

Re: Problem with STRUCURE TO FILE

You could try the mesh writer plugin as well. It saves vertex data down disk. The data is the same format float4 so it should work. Got to make a 32 bit update to it but seems to be working for models. I would keep your image small. Saving a 640 x 480 image down is a lot of data and not really the preferred way to save image by any means. Although a small set of histogram data saved to disk can be useful.

Here's a composition that doesn't save structure on my MBP.

Loading works for me in this composition.

Please note that for the structure from file patch (or just about everything in QC) to work it should be connected to a consumer patch.

Re: Problem with STRUCURE TO FILE

works fine on my mac book pro. you might want to use a directory like ~/Desktop/Structure.plist to read and write from.
