Hey, congrats on the release.
Unfortunately I found a major issue. The zipped Sentinel-3 products from EUMETSAT are not correctly read anymore.
The image shows the result in SNAP 12 on the left, and on the right the result in SNAP 13.
UPDATE:
Also the extracted directories canβt be opened.
Not the upper directory and not the inner.

Hi, @diana_harosa Iβm happy seeing the announcement but I found a problem with the interferometry steps.
In the coregistration Process step (With and without ESD, I tried both several times) I choose the middle swath, but I always get the same results, the software process the first swath. A colleague tried the same getting the same results, I hope you can fix it soon.
Iβm also similar error, so I must come back SNAP 12!
