Chart Downloader/Updater Plugin

[LeaseOnLife]

Yep

I just downloaded all Chilean updates and only three base cells are included:

find -name "*.000"
./CL3AI095/CL3AI095.000
./CL5LL035/CL5LL035.000
./CL5BB010/CL5BB010.000

They are not encrypted, O does show them, but obviously this is pretty useless. I do like the detail of the Chilean ENC with the contour lines.

Sorry for the drift...

Hello Pavel,

Raster charts on Argentina, the download does well.
Some files contain maps that are immediately accessible to the first level of unzipping.
But other files (approximately 65) include files in the format "tar" which must unzip again. As chartdownloader does not, it must be done by hand.

Best regards, Gilletarom.

I unzipped these files with jzip and it does not seem to be working yet.

Downloaded and extracted Austria and it appears to be just an ENC update with no 000 files. Can't find anything on the chart either.

Does not seem to be working exactly what?

You downloaded exactly what? The Austrian charts seem OK to me. Remember that we don't decide what's in which provided archive, so if you downloaded just the updates, it is pretty sure that you got just the updates. In case of Austria the updates are additive, they don't replace the original set.

Pavel posted this:

*) A note about Argentinian charts: Los Che receive 100 bonus points for packaging most of their official charts using RAR and renaming the files to .ZIP to make the potential user as confused as possible The plugin so far can't decompress RAR, so after it downloads and renames the files to minimize the confusion, you unfortunately have to decompress them using whatever tools you have available on your platform (unrar, WinRAR, 7-zip...)

In other words: if the charts are zipped, the plugin will automatically extract them. Not so for the *.rar files. I am sure he is working on it ;-)

Don't worry, I'm already working on integrating RAR extraction capabilities. But then you will sure move to Holland and find out that one of their sets is packaged with 7zip

I was certain, without you to say! You do not know do things by halves.

Hello Pavel

In the series useless question because Pavel thinks of everything before me, this is a problem and the question:

I bought last autumn, some charts to test the S63 plugin. I have already passed the end of the download period updates. Admittedly, follow updates on Chartworld ... pfuuu "Sick"

Would it be possible, with the chartdownloader that, subject to purchasing charts S63, we can access the automatic downloading of updates (if any)?

Best regards, Gilletarom

Will be difficult as you have to enter with ftp into your account to download your updates. At least this is what we are doing.

Australia might be different as you can download the complete update set.
But you will have still to install the downloaded encrypted set from the S-63 tab at "vector charts".
So you can't just drop the update files into the corresponding folder.

If I understand correctly, Brazil also sells S63 cards. And updated set is available but obviously he can not show that if we bought at PRIOR, the first version.

Am I wrong or problem it would be the same as Australia?

[rgleason]

Have tried the RAR version. Now have many rivers in Europe and Netherlands showing. Seemed to work like a charm. I suppose I should try S-63 but they require purchase don't they?

Yes, you will have to license/buy them and:

Yes... I suppose so. But still France is more benevolent then Sweden where no charts at all are for free.
