Can't see S63 charts in Open CPN 5.2.4

[Stria]

Hi all, I just bought a couple of Greece S63 charts through Chartworld.com
Every step to me seems fine, but I can not see the charts in Opencpn (I tried everything, including re-installing Opencpn). I see OESENC charts, Oernc charts, but not those two.
I attach screenshot of Options/Charts/s63Charts/Chartcells
and log file
The 2 charts I can't see are
GR3CFQQ8
GR3CFV68

Could someone help me please? Thanks!!!!
J.

How did you install the charts?


Are S-63 Userpermit and the OpenCPN InstallPermit in place and tested?
Did you install then the Cell Permits? And next the cells?
Any error messages?
Does the corresponding chart directory show up under Options|Charts|Chart Files?



Are the source S-63 cells still on the system? Those can't be removed even when the corresponding OpenCPN SENC cells are created.

I wonder what I could try next: do you have any idea?

Indeed strange. From the log file there is no error - the opposite:

On your screenshot chart outlines are enabled. Do you see your other S-63 charts?
You don't have any chart group activated? "0" (zero) will show all installed charts.
If all this does not help I would run "Force rebuild of chart data base"

I think I see see the outlines of the 2 mentioned charts, but I can't see the charts. BTW: I also tried to unselect all charts in chart groups except these 2, but I still can't see them. ....

When I "scan charts and update database" having kept in "Options/Charts/Chart Files/Directories/" only the directory with the two mentioned charts, I see some very quick activity (a quick- opening-closing window). This is the log

Zoom in on the outlines of the S-63 charts. Next hoover with the mouse over the chart rectangles on the bottom (the chart piano) and identify the chart. Click on that rectangle.

Thanks! But... been there done that. Did not work (as a matter of fact in a previous message I erroneously said that I saw the outlines... instead they belonged to some other chart).
BUT
I did the last desperate thing: ie I bought another S63 Greece map just bordering on the previous two. I Installed the new map, updated all S-63 permits as offered by Opencpn and... miracle I saw the new map AND the previous two, wich I can now access.
No idea why, but it worked (and might work for someone else in same stance).
Thanks a lot, Hubert
