v0.8.1 issue

[alexf]

Nice job Tim.

I have an issue with the database. It pertains to the previously manually created and/or imported data points.

I am in the process of adding many obstacles and points of interest in different places (OZ FTX, Florida and FS Addon Tongass Fjords X primarily) that I plan to post here when finished.

Installed v0.8.1 and immediately checked the Manage User Waypoints option and my changes were lost. I rebuilt the database in the new version for the first time, and then rechecked. They are still gone. Fearing this very issue, I had renamed the previous version's folder so I can fire the old points up and export my stuff to CSV then re-import (same with the CSV files downloaded from here), so I haven't lost a thing. I easily re-imported UK obstacles, OZX airfields and my new stuff.

A warning or notice should be included in the installation instructions as to this issue, and to export the custom entries from the old version before removing it and installing  new version, or better yet, the user-made and imported entries should be kept somewhere separately (probably the user data spaces in XP, Vista or Win7) so they do not get lost when a new version is installed and can be reused.

OK, thanks Alex. Will do.

Hi,

Still very good job Tim, many thanx for that.
Following the remark from Alexf:
Concerning import or export User waypoint or any other thing, i suggest to all Plan-G users to keep the last version in secure place or rename it.
Then you can open the 2 versions at the same time and easily export and import changes in the new tables.

Regards

I did. That's why I didn't lose a thing.
