I’m macbook pro with El Capitán user. I put 20 photos in queue and clicked “Start processing”, to the output directory marked “Save do folder”. Rawtherapee return that message: Invalid sequence in conversion input. Camera: Nikon d800, raw and jpg files.
Hi Morgan,
Thanks for answer. 1. I’ll keep trying with other files. 2. This has happened tree times with the same files. 3. So, I am following your suggestions. I’m new to it in Mac; it usually works in Windows 10 version. I return my results.
I think I was facing the same problem. Was your path names contain some multi-byte characters? If so, here’s my workaround to this problem.
In a terminal, go to /Applications/RawTherapee.app/Contents/MacOS, edit the shell script called “rawtherapee”, insert the following line before “exec … rawtherapee-bin”.
I hope the change, or any other fix for this problem is included in future releases for OSX.
As the version of the shell script “rawtherapee” I see seems to be OSX specific, I think it is not hard to checkin my change to the repository. But unfortunately, I’m new to RT world and completely ignorant about who is doing what. I think just sending a message to one of the maintainer for OSX will do, but who is he/she?
There are three of us here in Discuss, they’re @heckflosse, @jdc and myself. None of us have OS X, but with help from user’s I’ve been trying to fix things related to OS X, so I want to add this change too.
Hi everyone!
I am from Uruguay, therefore I speak spanish.
I need help with saving photo in MAC OS Sierra- last update for mac. I use an Imac, as my sole computer.
I am very but very new to RT, in fact I tend to use Lightroom, but I found this programm very exiting , it has lots of
sliders and much more control than LR.
But when I tried to save my raw image in JPEG, I got the same message of “Invalide byte sequence…”
How do I fix this? Pls take into acc. that I am old, and not a programmer at all.
Thanks a lot for any help!
Best wishes
Daniela.
I confirmed on macOS Sierra with recent RT/ports that I still need the change in the comment.
I think it is better to commit, though I’m not sure it solves Daniela’s problem.
Mac os Sierra 10.12.1 (16B2555)
I am sorry, I don’t really understand the topic that you mentioned in brackets…
The error comes whenever I am going to export a photo. I tried it several times, with different photographs.
I want to choose a special folder, in my documents, and it seems that it will export, but it doesn’t. @paperdigits Paperdigits, what do you mean by “accented or… in my user name on my computer”? Where should I look at that.
I know that perhaps, beign an ignorant of programming and any programming language, will make things more complicated, but the worst part is being a spanish speaker…
I am doing my best to try to understand you all.
I am going to reedit another photograph and will copy /Past the full error, plus processing I do Ok?
Thank you so, so much for trying to help me. I love open source ideas, yet, and as I told you it’s not easy when you come from the paper, pen, and abacus era
best wishes to all of you,
@Daniela the error might be coming from special characters in the photo’s filename, the folders in the source or output path, or metadata in the raw file. Please try these things in this order:
Upload the raw file using http://filebin.net/ and paste the full path (source and destination) here.
Find RawTherapee’s executable_loader file (maybe @mmmtok can tell you where it is, I don’t have OS X) and above the “exec” line add these:
See if RT still crashes after this change.
3. Eliminate all special characters from the crashing image (remove them from the filename, folders and from metadata if any) and try again.
