Hi! We’d like to announce a new update for the Mapillary Desktop Uploader. You can download it from Desktop Uploader and your installed app should also automatically update to the new version from today.
What’s new in 4.6.0
Bug fixes
Fixed issues with uploading files and folders with unicode characters
Fixed the compass angle on the active image marker and in the EXIF viewer
Fixed duplicate detection so uploaded files will not be uploaded again (if enabled in the settings)
Fixed issues while dragging images on the map
Improvements
Videos can now be selected by clicking on their lines on the map
Reduced app size by 30% to improve download, install and update speed
Added a link to your captures in the header
Added labels to buttons on the map
Thank you for your feedback and help with debugging issues!
The “easy to accidentally move image after click” has changed into “always moves image after click”. Basically, any image I click gets moved, even if the mouse cursor didn’t move a single pixel. The more zoomed out the map, the bigger the shift.
Hi!! Just a quick question. With the new version of desktop uploader 4.6.0, when loading MP4 videos, if during the loading phase you realize that the track is not exactly correct (for reasons attributable to the precision of the camera’s GPS) you can correct it on the fly with a click and drag on the map ?
@HellPhoto We’ll be adding a way to toggle editing in an upcoming UI update. @protezionecivilefvgr We have editing for images only right now but we’re looking into making video tracks also editable in the future.
Thank you! It would be great if you could start including unique issue numbers on GitHub for each release, so it’s clear which issues have been addressed.
One feature I would like to see is an optional automatically retried upload. Often I have started an upload and left it alone. When coming back hours later the upload has stopped after only a few out of many sequences due to an error and I had to manually select “Retry upload”. So hours are kind of lost.
Another function I miss is that the “Filter imagery” dialog filters captures in the right sidebar too:
Thank you for these feature requests folks! We will consider them for the backlog. @Hol_Ger - for filtering imagery, it should be filtered in the map view. Do you see it filtered there? Are you also expecting it to filter your list of captures in the right sidebar?
Yes, this is what I mean. It would be very convenient. I know It is already filtered in the map view, but then you have to zoom into the map and zoom and zoom until the nodes get visible to select one to go to the sequence. Also when zoomed into a part of the map where a filter does not find captures you have to zoom out first to see the filtered captures and then zoom in again and again and again until …
And my list of captures gets longer and longer and scrolling to a specific date or date range has become impossible.
