[Gpsbabel-misc] short names

[Tange, R. <R....@ex...>]

Hi,

I use

GPSBabel 1.4.4
Copyright (C) 2009 Robert Lipe
GUI designed and contributed by  S. Khai Mong
LGPL Crystal Icons by Alvarado Coehlo

(Using backend 1.4.4)

On Windows XP.

I want to use it to reduce the number of waypoints and shorten their names to 6 characters.
The first thing works but the second doesn't. I specify the "Length of generated shortnames" as 6.
This it what it GPSbabel shows:

gpsbabel -s -w -r -t -i gpx,snlen=6,suppresswhite=1,logpoint=0,humminbirdextensions=0,garminextensions=0 -f C:/Temp/documents/exeter_green_circle.gpx -x simplify,count=125 -o gpx,snlen=6,suppresswhite=1,logpoint=0,humminbirdextensions=0,garminextensions=0 -F C:/Temp/documents/exeter_green_circle.gpx
Translation successful

But in the output file the waypoints (that survived) still have precisely the same names which are usually much
longer than 6 characters.

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks,


Rudolf
