#58 win-gtk: osm tiles don't show up(because of file extension?)

[Schosch]

Hi there,

(i posted this on the devel mailinglist too)

i happily found a win 0.9.92 edition on sourceforge today :-) (using 0.9.8 up to now which has some small bugs but works for me)

i use winxp prof. sp3

I've a problem with the windows version of viking (0.9.92) ... I don't see the map tiles (osm mapnik style is what i tried out).

What I found out: The tiles are stored as *.tmp files but viking needs * files (without any extension). That's what it was like in 0.9.8. If i
delete the extensions now with 0.9.92, i can see the map tiles - until I refresh them - than they are stored as <number>.tmp files again - and
don't show up

any chance to fix that?

[Schosch]

well, what I see also: flushing the map cache doesn't delete the files in the web cache ... no matter if they have an extension or not ...

(mailinglist comment was rejected - but I hope, this is the right place here for the report)

I confirm observation. While version 0.9.90 works fine under Windows xp, all newer version 0.9.91-0.9.93 do not show any maps.

[Schosch]

still the same with 0.9.93 (didn't check, if it's still because of the file endings but I think so ...) can I help with something to fix this?

I applied a patch submitted by Mathieu Albinet.

Do you have any way to test the current version of viking in the Git repo?

[Schosch]

hm, I don't have any clue how to do that - my programming knowledge is very basic ... what do I have to do

[Schosch]

0,9.9.3 doesn't work eather ... seems still to be the same mistake

[Schosch]

it's still not fixed (at least in the last binary win-version, https://sourceforge.net/projects/viking/files/viking/0.9.93/viking-0.9.93_win_gtk.zip/download ), any chance for a fix?

[Schosch]

fixed with 0.9.94 for me ... thanks a lot
