Re: [Gpsbabel-misc] Unexpected character

[Stan G. <sta...@pa...>]

Thanks, Greg — I guess the drag-and-drop feature that stopped working (I believe) in 1.5.3 is now working again in 1.5.4. I just downloaded that version and ran it to confirm.

I ALSO get the same error Argus reported as well, but as I mentioned regarding 1.5.2, I click “OK” and the app still appears to run correctly.
