OpenCpn 4.4 showing green world no CM93charts

[Hakan]

On Win10 OCPN Beta 4.5
For a test a loaded some of my charts to a USB stick (F:\) and shoved them in OCPN. No problem.
To check if your charts are there; Select: Tools>Options>General -> "Show Chart
Outlines"
Zoom out and see if the contours of your chart files are there. If so center into one outline. Zoom in and for certain charts you sometimes has to click a square in the chart bar. (Bottom left on OCPN window)

The problem has nothing to do with the version of CPN nor the version of Windows, nor any updates for win10 etc...
CPN is fussy, as it cannot make sense from the charts files only, it also needs index files., hence the log states "access denied". MaxSea v10, on the other hand, does not need these files and work perfectly using the chart files only.
The SOLUTION is as follows: You need to add the files in the attached 7zip file to the CM93 directory The files are needed for CPN to sort the charts.
Anyway it worked for me. A big thank you to all contributors.

Good to hear - but:
Since you have used CM93 in OCPN before there must have been some changes to the CM93 directory between you OCPN updates?
"I have used OpenCpn for many years and installed it on various laptops from XP to Win7 & 10 and always had success, until now"
A lessons learned from this may be: Be careful when moving chart directories so really all files are included?

Hakan . you are right I missed a few files on copying the cm93 directory. I guess we all learned a valuable lesson

It seems that I cannot upload a file to this website, So, here is the download link
Index of /opencpn/ Unzip the 7Z file and add all to your CM93 directory.

The end to a successful day.
