Images not loading beyond preview

Following up on my last post, I need to reprocess the scenes which were lost during the un-payed part of the Beta phase.
I am struggling to create control points because images wont load beyond preview mode:

I have left it for 10 minutes with no progress, restarted computer etc.
Everything worked perfectly using my previous version of RC so I assume it’s a bug.
Thanks again

Hi julesmalcomson

the images are JPGs and what is their size ?
have not problem load even Ultracam imagery ( 250 Mpix images ) and in few seconds (5-10 sec) is loaded from disk.

Can check if have properly defragmented disk where the files are located ?
use this free solution http://www.auslogics.com/en/software/disk-defrag/ as have seen issues like this few times and the culprit was very heavy fragmented disk.

report back if it was the issue or we need take a deeper look.

Thanks Milos.
After 10 hours of defragmenting I have reloaded the project and found that some of the images load within 1 second, others do not at all. It seems to be about 50% will load.
The images are 36mp jpegs at 97%. File size is around 30mb each. 225 cams in total.
I will restart my computer and re-align in a fresh scene.
Thanks for the response.

Hi julesmalcomson

Can try open it on some other PC, even in DEMO version of RC just to be sure its not a issue on that particular PC ?

If not can send few of the working and not working to milos.lukac@capturingreality.com so can try it here on my PC ?

Hi julesmalcomson,
It looks like a cache issue - please clear the app (workflow\application settings\clear cache)

I re-coverted the raws and started with a fresh scene. Everything seems to be working now. I have to assume it was something like disk fragmentation as you suggested.
Thanks again
