19.1. List of failed fingerprint generation avoids anew attempt

Problem [80]: If files cannot be loaded by any reason (e.g. failed mesh reduction or corrupt file), then at next update there will be an anew attempt to generate missing fingerprints.

This may slow down the fingerprint generation considerably.

Solution: Save files with failed fingerprint generation in a CSV file named ignore.csv. These files will excluded from further generation processes as long as the STL date does not change.

The file has to be stored in the geo index directory of catalog.

Example

Example

At least the two columns PROJECT and LINEID have to exist. All other columns are ignored. Fields are separated by semicolon and quoted by double quotes. The PROJECT field must contain the path relative to the catalog root using slashes.

In order to create the respective CSV file do the following:

  1. Call dialog Manage fingerprints.

  2. Open dialog Export Options by clicking on Export ... and there, activate the option Fingerprints not available.
