Known problems
Version 1.0.2 (08-05-2007)
The known pending problems to fix are the same that were in the previous version 1.0. Following errors have been also detected:
- CRS managing extension:
- In Linux, in case the extension was installed in a path which contains whitespaces it is possible that gvSIG fail starting.
- Tables:
- If the name of a field contains non-ASCII characters and the table is ordered by such field, the error console pops up.
- Raster files:
- Sometimes the error console has pop up when opening a JPG file if the view contains SHP files.
Version 1.0 (05-12-2006)
- jpeg2000 files:
- When opening jpeg2000 files in windows 98, the program exits.
- dwg Files:
- Some graphical entities topologies can't be loaded (see FAQ section).
- If the legend properties are switched to Unique Symbol, then the graphical elements disappear from the view and only text are displayed.
- dgn files:
- The MicroStation element Multi-Line will not be visualized.
- If the legend properties are switched to Unique Symbol, then the graphical elements disappear from the view and only text are displayed.
- dxf files:
- When opening a dxf file containing polygons with filling, those polygons are shown without filling and a vertex is droped, so the polygon is incompletely visualized.
- If the legend properties are switched to Unique Symbol, then the graphical elements disappear from the view and only text are displayed.
- Units of measurement:
- It does not measure properly areas in the views with system of geodesic projection.
- WMS Servers:
- Since TIFF is an uncompressed image format, layers loaded from these servers can produce errors due to their size.
- Layout:
- When modifying the size of an inserted image, this is distorted.
- When zooming to the sheet area some errors can occur such as the program crash or the deletion of a layer in the view.
- In the page setting it is not possible to change the customized size.
- Projections:
- Small displacement errors when changing datum due to the system of reprojection used (GT2 v2.0), it will be solved when we use version 2.1.
- When changing the projection of a view, the existing layers within that view are not reprojected.
- Internationalization:
- Some translations on the GUI strings still pending.
- Printing:
- With dgn and dxf files it may fail when the polygons have assigned a pattern symbol that is not a solid color or transparent (vertical, horizontal, oblique lines, etc), which will slow down printing.
- It is not possible to define correctly a custom size. When selecting landscape page orientation (horizontal) the width parameter is ignored and, if the orientation is set to portrait orientation (vertical) the height parameter is ignored.
- Labeling:
- Layers reprojected to geodesic coords can not be labelled.
- On occassions, refreshment problems when activating and deactivating may appear.
- It does not draw the labels in the side margins of the graphic area.
- Sometimes the otpion “Draw text only” has failed.
- Export to pdf:
- When changing page properties, export to PDF fails recalculating the position of some elements.
- Macintosh:
- Cannot read ECW files
- PostGIS:
- When adding, removing or deleting fields in a postgis 8.0 or newer version it throws an error to the console.
