Ghostpoints in scans, anybody else gets them?

    Hi!

     

    Look at my video, it shows that i get ghotspoints wich is messing up my scans from my SX10. 

    As you can se i dont use C: as my main folder because i does not have the space so i have another harddisk on my computer for my projects. TBC is instelled on C:

     

    If i import a scan into a project wich is started in the other drive i get ghostpoints and cant use the pointcloud. If i save it on C: i will work. But the i have to cut it from C: and paste it in the other place. And if i have a ongoing project i have to cut and paste the other way if have more scans. 

    Anybody else with this problem or know how to solve it, new computer?

    I cannot see why this causes you a problem other than maybe the Sync Process that is happening with Dropbox is somehow causing you the issue. If you use another folder on F Drive (one that does not sync to Drop Box) does it do the same thing? If you suspend the Sync Process to Drop Box before doing this does it still do the same thing?

     

    I dont believe the fact that TBC is on C: and the data is on F: makes any difference at all, I am almost 100% certain that this is being caused by background Synching with Dropbox in some way is messing with the data being imported in some way.

     

    If you set up a folder on C: that also syncs with Dropbox can you tell me if this same problem occurs?

     

    Let me know the answers to the above and then we can validate on our end - I am not sure we have a Drop Box installation and it for sure is not a part of our standard Testing - I can use the equivalent Google Drive function and see what happens there etc. once I know the answers to the above.

     

    Thanks

    Thanks for your answer Alan, i will do the testing you asked for.  

    As you say dropbox may be the problem. I hope not because dropbox makes our life easy with sharing projects.  

    If dropbox is causing the problem maybe i can find a workaround. 

    Will do this when back in sweden again.
