Hi!

Everything was going smoothly until the other day when my workflow stops at Feature Matching because there is no imageMatching.txt file to read from.

Image matching creates other three files in the folder (status, log statistics) and the log says that the imageMatching.txt is being written, but there is nothing in the folder!

I removed all spaces from my folder name, ran it from C and D disk, ran it as administrator, even ran projects that previously worked but now won't!

I'm out of ideas.

Does anyone have similar problem?

Best regards, Davor

What is the log of the ImageMatching?

Put "verbose" to "trace" and recompute ImageMatching.
