Intruiging. Yes, this is default settings (I often turn on guided matching for feature matching, but deliberately didn't here). I also ran with my database containing 6.17, as suggested by Yann, and it worked fine, matching all 20 cameras in the first dataset. Given Yann's response in the other thread, presumably the mesh would be cleaner with 6.17 (I haven't let these run to mesh because I can't tie up my computer at the moment).
So it matches all 20 cameras on default settings regardless of whether the database contains 6.17 or 11.4
