FS#32 - tiff file extention error
The parser is failing to read the .tiff file extension from the input string...
bump_map { tiff "earth03_hf2.tiff" }
Results in file not found, but
bump_map { tiff "earth03_hf2" }
will find the file. It might be that it’s not a three character extension?
earth03_hf2.tiff

No feedback from beta testers for
months, so probably "no news is
good news"
According to the code of SceneData::FindFile() in scene.cpp, in order for POV-Ray to search for the exact filename it must indeed end with an extension of no more than 3 characters (files ending in a dot are accepted though). I.e., currently, the rules for producing filenames are as follows:
I suggest to apply the following modifications to this:
Submitted a preliminary fix with change #4813, making sure the exact-named file is always searched for as a last resort (unless it has already been searched for first). The rules when to search for this name first, however, should be reviewed nonetheless.
implemented the suggested solution with changelist #4900
