OpenCPN Beta test 4.1.925 Release

[rgleason]

Removal of VDR seems to have fixed the closing of Opencpn.

Can you send me the offending .KAP chart?

Thanks

Not sometimes but each times. I can't display some of these charts any more and yes It was already known

You can find two of these here :

"Error: File 'C:\ProgramData\opencpn\navobj.xml.changes' couldn't be removed (error 32: the process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.)"

I have this line systematically in the log with Windows Only, not with Linux.
But with both OS the process run correctly. The change file is created at start and is removed at stop. I do not understand why this log message

Corrected logic for your photocharts at Navalo, etc. in github now. Problem was that we were not prepared for charts whose dimensions were exact multiples of the OCPN internal tile size. In this case the charts were 2048 x 2048, and the tile size is 512.

Nice photocharts, by the way.

Thanks

A small correction might be needed also in chartimg.cpp function "InitReturn ChartBaseBSB::PostInit(void)" line 1849:

unsigned char *tmp = (unsigned char*)malloc(Size_Y * sizeof(int));

because result of 'malloc' is converted to a pointer of type 'unsigned char' which is incompatible with sizeof operand type 'int'.

OK. I am just a user of OpenCPN. I am using the beta release and am not clear where I am to send bug reports. I have tried to capture snapshots but the Dr. Watson instructions are very old and Dr. Watson has been removed from Windows 10. In its place is something called DebugDiag but I don't really know how to use that either.

I know you guys and girls work very hard at this and don't mean to be forward but two suggestions:

1) Could you title a thread "4.1... Beta Bug Reports only? And use it to list bug reports with resolution comments elsewhere? Or is there one and I haven't found it.
2) Could you write a new post "How to report bugs and crashes for 4.1?

I think that would be helpful for the great unwashed.

"Corrected logic for your photocharts at Navalo, etc. in github now."
Crash is gone!
Many thanks Dave

For Mac OS X users strongly recommended the new "El Capitan" OS X version 10.11 with the new split screen.

Hi!

I try to compile 4.1.925 from source with VS2013 but I have an error on linking the chart downloader plugin:

4>chartdldr_pi.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol ""int const wxEVT_DOWNLOAD_EVENT" (?wxEVT_DOWNLOAD_EVENT@@3HB)".

Any idea how to fix it?

Source code: e6a0015
Windows: 7
Visual Studio: 2013
Toolset: vc120_x86

CMake: 3.3.2
wxWidgets: 3.0.2

You must be missing chartdnldr.lib

Make sure you have gotten the latest Windows binary dependencies per the developer instructions.

Where can I find that file?

I've downloaded Download opencpnplugins from SourceForge.net. There are two libraries inside: libcurl.lib and crashrpt\CrashRpt1402.lib
In which of the two libraries is wxEVT_DOWNLOAD_EVENT defined?

[transmitterdan]

All things beginning wx are defined in the wxWidgets libraries. These are in the binary dependencies or in the wxWidgets built when you installed wx per the developer instructions.

Rick, please, when he can't compile chartdldr he has no chartdldr.lib either.
Think a little bit before posting...
