Unsupported file format | Could not decode image

[Anoop Bhaskar]

Greetings all,

I am really new with Hugin.

I want to stitch 26 images to form a 360 panorama or an equirectangular image, but i am not able to load the images as it is not able to decode.

When googled it said that it might be because of non latin characters, but all the files are in latin script. 

The images are from DJI, i have edited them on lightroom and converted them to jpg.

Has anyone faced a similar issue?

Thank you,
Anoop

If you are using windows you might be in that weird situation that you don't see non-ascii characters in the path to your files: "Documents" for example is shorthand for "C:\users\(your username)\(the translation of " documents" into your system language).
Also the temp directory temporary files are stored in might be in a similar path - even if that pathname is never shown.

Might that be the case, this time?

Kind regards,

Gunter.

Thank you Gunter, yes i figured it out, the folder name had an '*' , removed it and i was able to import them.

Problem solved, i am trying to change the subject line.

Regards,

It was strange that Windows (or any other system) allowed to use "*" in a folder name. Even if the folder was imported from a 1980s computer ;)

Well, work with a computer is not writing poetry.

The best to use only the standarized 26 letters and digits. We really do not need any other characters than a-z, A-Z, 0-9 and separators - _

Do not use C:\Users for any important files, such as program configuration settings.
The user folder is a system workspace, where everything can be modified, overwritten or deleted by Windows.
Much better to save program configurations in the program main folder.
This way we can use more than one instances of the same program, each of them configured for different tasks.

Hmm, we are getting off-topic, here, but in order to do what Abrimal suggests, you must use an administrator account. Bad idea IMO. You could use another folder created for this purpose, though, one which you would not put in "users" nor in "Program Files".

Could have been created fine (without *) but a disk write error sometime in the past 40 years may have changed it. Disk media itself has no idea about special characters. Only file systems do.

Need for those depends on the user's language, friend. If my user name was Kümmel, the ü is needed. ;)
