I can process up to six tiles at once. Seven bogs the system down. The only downside is the requirement of being at the pc to get past this AutoScenery STOP notice to proceed with starting the GeoConverter.
This does not require the checkmark in the sequential runs. That send a constant waiting message that is never needed.
I would like to see that constraint removed. A notice is OK, but after a minute or so, it should turn the computer loose to go to work.

Ray, do you see any advantage against converting only a single task?
In the single mode I get 90% load of all 8 cores and I can still work.
Tom, not just when running one instance. Running 3 instances seems to be ideal, although the system will run 6 by spreading the load between the cpu and gpu.

This means you're running without GeoConvert Wrapper, right? I tried this once (ages ago) and my system virtually came to a halt. Probably because I selected too many tiles.
Kind regards, Michael
Correct. When I add the checkmark for the wrapper I get a constant text message that it is waiting on a file but it doesn't seem to contribute anything. I leave it unchecked and just select up to six any sized blocks and let it go. The message pops up about using the wrapper and STOPS work until I acknowledge it. I have asked several times that Nick either remove the message and turn the system loose after some time delay.
I also have been experimenting with "ArcGIS" and remaking Tenerife and La Gomera Islands and processed 2 and 3 tiles at time with the "GeoConvert" sequentially without problems.
Good afternoon, Michael (IZOJUB)
I have read that you have remade the Islands of Tenerife and La Gomera. As a result has improved its resolution ?. If so, I would be willing to download them again from the list. Do you recommend that I download them again?
Which of the titles should I download:
1st) Tenerife Island, or
2nd) Tenerife cultivation.
Thanks for that, regards: Delfin
I decided to try this tool so I set a small area at first to try and it worked properly, but then I decided to go for a larger area with a higher resolution so I set it up as such;
grid square size=11
AFS levels= 12,13,14,15
image detail 18
Everything appeared to be running well so I left it go overnight. When I returned to it there were 16 geoconvert windows open and not responding.
Is there a bug that i'm not aware of here? Or an I missing something here.

Single GeoConvert instances utilise all cores. Multiple instances fight for disk IO. On my machine at least, running them parallel was slower and less reliable than sequentially.
That said, in the next beta release I will add an option to never show that message again after the user has seen it once.
I am doing a several-tiles set right now. If the Geocovert window is open it runs through the selected levels and stops with the green ESC message but doesn't close by itself. I have to close it manually, then the next Geoconvert instance starts. Is this okay? I thought the Geoconvert window would be closed and the next instance starts automatically.
It should be closed automatically if you're using the wrapper. I'll do some more testing with GeoConvert and the new tile sources, but it shouldn't make a difference.
Ultimately I'm taking screenshots and trying to force the GeoConvert window to the front, which is error prone to say the least.
Until IPACS put some more time into GeoConvert, these issues with persist unfortunately.

I made some more tiles, and the ESC window does not close reliably when I use the Wrapper. I may make something odd, of course, but hard to tell what. As an example, I regularly minimize the GeoConvert windows. However, otherwise they always regain focus after a few seconds interrupting my normal work.

I recall you begging for this for a year ... or longer? And it's certainly not rocket science....
Kind regards, Michael

IPACS, I am sorry to say this:
You always say you are proud of the users who develop for AFS2 and that you will support them.
Geoconvert is THAT central element for the development.
Couldn't you spend just a little bit of time to optimize it?
(Especially closing it itself when done??)
Cheers,
Thomas

So, will this all work better if the geoconvert window just closed when complete? I can look into this.
Yes! Some years ago i posted the idea to start geconvert with a parameter like -autoexit or -close to close it automatically if wanted. In addition to that an exit code 0 / <> 0 would be nice to see if it ran without/with errors.

... and to start another instance when it's done for making several tiles one after another as in AeroScenery.
Nick certainly can specify details after he'll be back from holiday.

Ah, that's the issue. I'm having to force the window to the foreground to screenshot it to detect when it's done.
It'll work well if you're not interacting with the computer, but if you're doing other work it's likely to fail.
Let's hope IPACS improve GeoConvert to make this all unnecessary.

We will get geoconvert to close when completed rather than having to press ESC. I'm sure this will help considerably. Just give us a few weeks as some of us are on vacation currently.
I am very sorry to ask such a stupid question but how can install Aeroscenery? In the AerosceneyInstaller folder there are 4 files with the extensions: .sln .wax .wixproj and .wxs...
