LB Image Viewer bug report

Hi @chris and @MingboPeng,

I’ve encountered a bug in the LB Image Viewer where, when multiple files with the same filename that are located in a different folder are being given, the viewer only shows one of the files.
Say I have the following files:
\simulation\HB model\option_1\point_in_time_view\results\View_00.HDR
\simulation\HB model\option_1\point_in_time_view\results\View_01.HDR
\simulation\HB model\option_2\point_in_time_view\results\View_00.HDR
\simulation\HB model\option_2\point_in_time_view\results\View_01.HDR

Then even though it does show 4 images with the arrows on the bottom, only View 0 and View 1 of option 1 are displayed in the LB Image Viewer when scrolling to image 3/4 and image 4/4.

Kind regards,
Marc

Hi Aliarch,
I don’t think the issue is with the creation of the HB Views, but in the LB Image Viewer.
Kind regards,
Marc

I’ve had a look in the source code and even though my C# is very subpar, it seems that the image viewer is creating a temporary .TIFF file that it pushes to the viewer. For this it only seems to consider the file name and not the path it is in (line 320):

tiffFile = Path.Combine( tempPath , fileName + "LB.TIF");

Since the temp directory is shared, each new file with the same name overwrites the previous one.
Perhaps including a hash in the temporary file would be the easiest fix. Or otherwise do a check on the file path of the images.

Kind regards,
Marc
