Bogus "an orthophoto could not be generated"

[amwphotos]

Hi all,

The last couple of times I’ve used WebODM windows version 2.8.1 I’ve had an error appear saying it could not generate an orthophoto. But if I go to the 3D model there’s the 2D button, and sure enough the orthophoto appears. This appears at the end of the log if it’s useful:

Love WebODM by the way, all the hard work by the developers and everyone involved is really appreciated

If you export all, what do you find in the orphophoto folder

It exports an orthophoto just fine.
