Images outside of GPS file cause all others to not be geotagged

Contributing and equipment Command line tools

If I use mapillary_tools to convert videos into geotagged images, and the GPS file starts too far after the start of the video, or ends too far before the end of the video, all images from that video not get geotagged. I would expect that only the images outside the GPS file coverage would not be geotagged.

Here’s what appears on the screen:-

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

1. Specify --local_time to read the timestamps from the geotag source file as local time
2. Use --use_gps_start_time to align the start time
3. Manually shift the timestamps in the geotag source file with --offset_time OFFSET_IN_SECONDS

Here’s my command line (run in PowerShell):-

& .\mapillary_tools.exe video_process --video_import_path "$($FileToProcess.FullName)" --advanced --geotag_source "gpx" --geotag_source_path "$($GPXPath)" --user_name "$($MapillaryUserName)" --offset_time "0" --offset_angle $OffSetAngle --video_start_time "$($UNIXDate)" --import_path "$($Destination)" --device_make "$($Make)" --device_model "$($Model)" --overwrite_all_EXIF_tags --rerun --video_sample_interval $VideoSampleInterval)

This is similar to what I saw also https://github.com/mapillary/mapillary_tools/issues/433
