Question from a fellow victim of ZKTeco's SHIT sdk! #2

Hi, first of all I agree with everything you said about the SDK it's a nightmare

I hit an issue with the SDK DB breaking the moment you add the 50 000 th fingerprint to it you get a nice error -13 It seems to be hard limited, So i'm looking for a new solution and this looks like EXACTLY what I need!

BUT 1 big question: "This library uses SourceAFIS for fingerprint templates and matching instead of ZkTeco's" Will I be able to use my existing captured templates (huge amount of fingers that where captured manually with great effort) These obviously use zkfreeko's template, what are my options?

BIG THANK YOU from a fellow dev that has no hair left to pull out.

@ecospecifier you can convert your templates back to bitmap, then create a SourceAFIS template from that bitmap

Can one get an image back even from merged templates? My existing templates consist of 3 scans. Also do I use SourceAfis to do this as I don't see any methods in ZkTeco SDK only to go from image to template.

Thank you very much!

image I have spent so many hours in this dumb document over the past months, I see no way to get an image back from a template, is there an external method to do so? Sdk can go from image to template but not back.
