#565 No Map for Newly Saved Files

[Alan Trulock]

After updating, the map has disappeared for newly saved files. Existing files that have not been saved since updating still display the map.

Seems to be an issue with layers oin the layout files. I ran a diff to see what changed:

Christ! You have to manage layers and select "On Map" every time you open the file.

Unfortunately I don't see this problem

You said you diffed the layout files but I only see the first few lines of the 2 files
Can you attach them?

Could you explain the steps you did
Is it:

• start xtrkcad
• Is the map displayed?
• open an existing file.
• save it
• Does the map window disappear? Or does it have empty contents? Can you take a screen shot of it?

Thanks
Dave

I can reproduce on my system two ways.

Method 1.

1. Create new layout. Map displays. (Screenshot 1).
2. Save file. Map still displays. (Screenshot 2).
3. Open saved file. Map disappears. (Screenshot 3).

Method 2.

1. Open file that has not been edited with 5.3.0GA. Map is displayed. (Trevors Layout 2.xtc).
2. Edit and save file. Map is still displayed.
3. Open saved file. Map disappears. (Trevors Layout 2 Edit.xtc).

I don't see the problem using the supplied files
However what I see does not match your screen shots

[Alan Trulock]

I see. I created a new account on my computer and still cannot see the map after saving a file. If it is working for you, it may be MacOS specific. UPDATE: Works as advertised on my wife's Windows machine.

No idea why that posted anonymously...

I am trying to understand what is going on with this. Files created with 5.3.0 show VERSION 12 5.2.0 just as they did under 5.2.2; however, the file format is slightly different. The wiki states that layers are defined as LAYERS(sp)Layer-number(sp)visible(sp)frozen(sp)on-map(sp)color-rgb(sp)module(sp)dont-use-color(sp)color-flags(sp)button-off(sp)"Layer-Name". This matches what I get using 5.2.2 (e.g. LAYERS 0 1 0 1 192 0 0 1 0 "Main"). Under 5.3.3, extra data appears that is not documented in the wiki (e.g. LAYERS 0 1 0 1 192 0 0 1 0 "Main" 1 7 18.000000 0.000000 1.131804 0.183697 0.367394). This extra data appended to the layer data seems to be what ismcausing my issue on MacOS. This does not cause a problem for Windows. By manually editing the layout file and removing everything past the layer name, everything looks correct when I open the layout.

For the sake of clarity:

I am running MacOS 14.4.1 with version 5.3.0.

When I open a layout file that was saved with under 5.2.2, layers appear on the map as expected.

When I open a layout file that was saved under 5.3.0, layers do not appear on the map as expected until I go and manually reselect On Map for each layer.

I have verified this functions as expected on Windows. I have not tested this on Linux. It seems to be MacOS specific that is not handling the additional data elements.

I compiled 5.3.1-devel from source and get the same results. Layers do not display despite the setting in the layout file saying otherwise.

Wiki appears to be updated with the new data elements. https://sourceforge.net/p/xtrkcad-fork/wiki/LayoutFile/

New screenshots and matching layout file supplied. Previous supplied screenshots did not match the layout file.

I pushed a possible fix to Default brnch
I don't have a MAC to try this on.
Can you build Default and try it?

thanks

[Alan Trulock]

I see no change. Thank you for looking at it.
