Re: [guide-user] Satellite pass bug

Bill J Gray May 4, 2007

Hi Masaki,

I swapped a bit of mail with Jari Suomela about this bug,
but we were unable to track it down. Your post caused me
to take another look at the problem.

This time, I was able to replicate the bug, when using
Tables... List Satellite Passes. That allowed me to fix the
bug.

_However_, Jari (and I think you, also) ran into the
problem when right-clicking on a satellite and asking for
"more info". When you do that, you should get a list of
the satellite passes for the next five days. And I have
been unable to replicate that bug. The fix I've made to
Tables... List Satellite Passes is, I think, unrelated
to the "more info" problem.

In hopes of figuring out what's going on here, I have
posted my "fixed" version at

http://home.gwi.net/~pluto/guide8.zip

I would ask that you (and anyone else running into this
bug) try this version, and first verify that "List Satellite
Passes" works. Next, please try right-clicking on satellites
and asking for "more info".

If "more info" still lacks satellite passes, I'd ask you
to hit Alt-J and enter

DEBUG_FILENAME=c:\guide.log

Then right-click on that satellite again, and ask for
"More Info" again. Then e-mail me the file c:\guide.log.

I've revised Guide so that it will write data to the
log file about what it's doing when in "more info" for
satellites. With luck, I'll be able to look at your
log file and see where the bug is.
