cagney...

I confirm the cm93/GRIB area selection bug. Seems to be a linux only, OpenGL problem. Trivial to reproduce.

Anyone else on linux seeing this?

Thanks
Dave

Moo...

On the GRIB server sentence:

send GFS:37S,47S,161E,175W|0.25,0.25|0,6,12..120|= WIND,PRESS,APCP

What is actually required here if done manually as split line?

Thanks
Dave

It should look like this

Code:

send GFS:37S,47S,161E,175W|0.25,0.25|0,6,12..120|=
WIND,PRESS,APCP

But the string sent to the mailer is

Code:

send GFS:37S,47S,161E,175W|0.25,0.25|0,6,12..120|= WIND,PRESS,APCP

The CR LF gets lost and a space is substituted. Saildocs then craps out when it encounters the space which it sees as a field delimiter.

I presume that it is an ASCII/UTF coding issue but I'm a bit rusty on that stuff as it's been years since I coded anything at all let alone character coding.

Dave.. moo..
For info on Win10:
This is what's produced by grib_pi and sent to saildocs by Thunderbird:

Quote:

sub GFS:61N,6N,81W,25E|0.25,0.25|0,6,12..168|=
WIND,PRESS,APCP,HTSGW,WVPER,WVDIR days=15

Examine the text in Notepad++, see shot:

Moo, maybe your mail pgm is editing the text?

It could be the email or it could be something in between. I don't know. I'll see if I can change my default client and see what happens.

Here are the two strings. One cut from the plugin's window and the other cut from the mail client.

Seems rather obvious the mail pgm has exchanged the CRLF by a white space?

Install Zygrib. does all the work to get the right Gribs for your area.

Actually, on my old netbook ASUS 1001HA, under Linux ubuntu, tests this morning does not show me at all this situation. No local gray zone. I just trace the red frame. In the red frame, things are like on the rest of the screen. I send thunderbird opens and everything is fine.

BUT

Since several versions of openCPN, and with O482 too, often, the machine seems to be seized, the screen becomes completely gray, there is a certain time during which, I can not do anything in OpenCPN, then, everything becomes normal again.

On the other hand, certainly, during this kind of phenomenon, I can do other things. for example, I can send an email or watch firefox ...

See the screenshot, which shows in the background, just on the right, this phenomenon, while, to the first, on the left, I send quietly with thunderbird the mail for saildocs for example.

BUT:

Other test.

The screen becomes entirely gray if I select an area to request a grib. After that, I can do anything I want but if I do not send the mail, then the screen remains gray permanently.

I could change the group of cards, for example, switch to oeSENC, they are displayed normally. Returning to CM93, the screen is still gray.

That being said, gray screen phenomena that come back to normal happen in other situations, without me being able to understand why. I always thought that it was due to the age of the PC that heats a lot.

Finally, I had an OpenCPN crash. And the screen offers me to let go of a report what I did.

I think you are right, I had a similar problem with gMail, and sorted it out by changing to Thunderbird. The point is though, it used to work with gmail so something changed, gmail or O from 4.8.0 ? (not sure). I did not follow up on this as I seemed to be the only one with a problem, at the time.

Yes, I see that too.

I see the same - Xubuntu 16.04 x64. also, when selecting GRIB area when there is a photo overlay chaer, the selection box is not visible after selecting the GRIB area.

So the 4.8.2 is released, but we still have not told users that upgrade from 4.8.0 what's new in this release. Under News in opencpn.org there is a link to what's new, but this leads to the official release statement. The link needs to be to a page similar to what we have had on earlier releases, a page that describes the changes that the normal user needs to know about, including some pictures.
