PTGui hanging

[Velson Horie]

I am stitching a 15 tile mosaic, each tile 2.8 GB.  The tiles are on a grid, 3x5, so I clicked align. 3/4 hour later, PTGui appears to be stuck. One SSD scratch disc 0.5 TB is full, and my SSD C:temp folder has passed 0.5TB. Neither the Editor not Detail viewer have changed in this period.

The scanning process was disrupted by a mistake, so the tiles' times and names are out of order.  So I added them to the source images individually in the correct grid order.

While the alignment was running but achieving nothing, I tried to create a CP, and got an error that D: is full.

The Win11 computer has 32 GB RAM and the NVIDIA card has 4 GB. The CPU is running at ca 25% and the GPU at ca 9%. The GPU memory and acceleration are both authorised.

Presumably this is not going to work.  Similar stitching projects have worked fine.

1.  How do I stop the aligning process?  Or do I have to close PTGui down?

2. Any idea what is going wrong?

3. Shouldn't PTGui place tmp files in folders that have some space left?

Thank you

Hi Velson,

You can tell PTGui which disks to use in Options - Folders and Files.

I don't think PTGui is hanging; it's busy doing something. For large
panoramas it can be helpful to disable 'find optimum seams' initally.
This is just wasting processing time if the images are not yet aligned.

After aligning, reviewing control points etc, enable Find Optimum Seams.

Kind regards,
