Yeah so that's not terribly useful info without this link:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/n9m921k4gvgggzj/pcond.exe?dl=0

In my defense, Outlook seems to default to sending the email when you press "return" 2x quickly — which is, like, idiotic.

Anyhoo, Windows users, please grab the copy of pcond.exe found at the above link and test it out, and report success/failure on this here frequency.

Well, pfilt hasn't changed in 4 years and pcond hasn't changed in 8, so my only remaining guess is that the new way we're calling popen() under Windows is somehow at fault.  This call that was hand-written by Georg Mischler was recently replaced under Microsoft's Visual-C compiler, and I think the issue is that I'm not explicitly setting the binary file type in pcond.  Schorsch's win_popen() must have done this for me without my realizing it.

I have checked in the new module and it should get recompiled at some point.  My apologies, and I hope this solves the issue.

In the short term, just use the older version of pcond.  It's the same, anyway.

Cheers,

Hi,
it must be a Windows problem.
no problems using mac or linux (head-release 3 weeks ago).

Hi Radiance community,

Anybody else has issue running pcond in recent versions of Radiance? Here is the error.

pcond: error reading from pfilt process in fovimage

I still have the older version of Radiance (4.2..a) also installed which has no problem with the same image.

Here is one of the images which fails. Cloudy sky for Denver: https://www.dropbox.com/s/f47p292vxe0ivql/CIE_cloudySky_sky_6_21%40900_radAnalysis_skyView.HDR?dl=0

Try pcond -h to reproduce the error.

Thanks,
Mostapha
