Known problems
Version 1.1.2 (04-03-2008)
- Export to raster:
- Sometimes tiff and jp2 images created using gvSIG cannot be opened in other programmes.
- KML files:
- Multi-layer KML files do not load correctly. All the features are shown in a single layer.
Version 1.1.1 (21-12-2007)
- Map Layout:
- Can't remove elements using keyboard.
Version 1.1 (21-09-2007)
- CRS managing extension:
- In Linux, in case the extension was installed in a path which contains whitespaces it is possible that gvSIG fail starting.
- Raster files:
- Sometimes the error console has pop up when opening a JPG file if the view contains SHP files.
- 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.
- 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.
- A DXF file united to a DBF table cannot be labeled by none of the fields of the union.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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
- Valid only for Intel-based computers. It will be available soon for PowerPC-based.
- PostGIS:
- When adding, removing or deleting fields in a postgis 8.0 or newer version it throws an error to the console.
- Tables:
- Some errors detected when working with table with non-ASCII field names.
- Annotation layer:
- Scale, copy, rotate and symmetry tools don't work properly in this kind of layers.
- Geoprocessing:
- The result of the dissolve geoprocess is incorrect.
- Export to raster
- When clipping jpg2000 and ecw layers, the result is a raster with the RGB bands incorrectly swapped.
- Other:
- When opening an existing project containing a layer whose path has changed, if the table associated to it is not removed from the Project manager, then the console pops up.
Version 1.1RC2 (09-08-2007)
- Others:
- A high memory consumption in this version might cause the application to close suddenly after loading large datasets.
- Sometimes, in Linux, a dialog box opens showing only the title bar. If the user attempts to close the dialog, an error pops up (see Annex 3 in the User Manual (version 2) of gvSIG 1.1).
Version 1.1RC1 (20-07-2007)
- Others:
- A high memory consumption in this version might cause the application to close suddenly after loading large datasets.
- Sometimes, in Linux, a dialog box opens showing only the title bar. If the user attempts to close the dialog, an error pops up.
