Bug in 7.3, can't export to TIF file

autodeskguest

In version 7.3 on Windows 7 64 bit, there seems to be a bug in exporting a

board to a TIF image file.  In the board editor, if I run "EXPORT IMAGE

\temp\a.tif" I always get a popup that says "Out of memory while writing

'/temp/a.tif'".  This happens regardless of resolution.  For example,

"EXPORT IMAGE \temp\a.tif 50" fails the same way, even though that would

have only required 320 x 552 pixels in my case.

 

This is a important feature to me since that's how I make assembly

drawings.  The same procedure to make the same assembly drawing worked fine

in version 5.

    This seems to be a problem that came with the newer Qt version

    we are using since EAGLE 7.3.0. We will check this......

    I'm now at version 7.5.0, and this is indeed fixed.

     

    However, you broke something else in the process.  Now the TIF file gets

    written using CCITT (old fax) compression when the monochrome box is

    checked.  This was never the case before.  Lots of software doesn't handle

    this compression scheme, including what I call from ULPs and scripts to do

    various things.  LZW compression or LZW with forward differencing are fine

    and pretty much universally supported.

     

    PLEASE RETURN THE TIF FILE WRITING FEATURE TO THE WAY IT WAS IN VERSION 5.
