Raster Scan Chart Problem

After using OpenCPN for a few years, with CM93 and many raster scan charts, suddenly none of my rasterscan charts appear on OpenCPN. They show on the "Charts" tool box tab. I've forced database rebuilds, copied them to another folder, reinstalled OpenCPN, looked in the log...I can't find any problem. But they still no longer appear on my OpenCPN screen. The CM93 charts look fine, but no rasterscan charts.

I have WIN8.

Anyone have any ideas.

(my next step is to do a system restore, maybe the last set of win 8 updates are preventing these charts from working)

Re: Raster Scan Chart Problem

Fred,

Before doing anything wrong can you precise the OpenCPnVersion ?

As long your chart have been put at the right place everything should be OK

Re: Raster Scan Chart Problem

Thanks Serge, I experienced this problem on version 3.2.0. I downloaded 3.2.2 Build 2013-05-08 and it behaved exactly the same.

However, the problem has since resolved itself. I'm not sure how or why. For information I did the following:
1. Attempted to restore the operating system (windows 8.0) since this was the only change since OpenCPN had worked properly. The restore failed. I got a message saying that the C: drive had errors.
2. Ran CHKDSK which found no errors.
3. Just for drill I added some NOAA rasterscan charts to my library and behold, they worked fine (so I thought maybe it was only charts I had created?).
4. Checked my charts again, and...It all works!

So, right now, I don't have a problem. Possibly I never did, could have been I just didn't zoom in correctly to reveal the charts, I don't know. Meanwhile, I checked my back-up computers, which both work fine.
