Geofencing calculation error?

Post by Mke »

First of all, congratulations on v7, particularly for the noticeably faster speed, and for the classification of relationship types :)

However I have just come across a geo-fencing issue in v7.0.1.4266.

I have 598 geo-tagged images from a small town of perhaps 10km diameter. Choosing an image from near the centre and selecting 'Show More From... Nearby Images' and setting a distance:

of 10km, returns only 3 images (taken from within a few m of each other)
of 50km, returns only 48 images (within perhaps a diameter of 50m?)
of 250km, returns 323 images
of 750km, returns 547 images

It seems likely that this is due to an error in the calculation of the distances.

The distance reported in the image below - 750,000km - is also unexpected:

Thank you for reporting this. Please update to build 4268 from the Control Panel. Better?

When using Search Nearby Images only the number of found images is returned. No information on the coordinates and distance is displayed. Obviously as result of that a favorite added to the Dynamic Search does not work. (Win 10, PSu 7.0.1.4268).

You can get to the GEO FEnce feature by right clicking on a thumb -> Show More -> Nearby Images

Does that help?
