Objects and Overlays not staying in Memory:FOUND PROBLEM


Michael McKenzie
 

Owe this to Gil WB2UTI using APRSIS32 for another bike ride. Both of us had been using an "&" between two numbers. That produces a format error. Gil happened to see something in his task bar which was a second ICON underneath the APRSIS32 task bar Icon where the format error is located. That has to be cleared. Apparently, we cannot use symbols other than letters and numbers when setting up objects. Once the error is produced, the program will not save anything afterward.
   Since using only letters and numbers we have not experienced any drop out of memory.
Hope this helps everyone. Closes this issue.

That discovery probably indicates that there is some value I'm saving in the config .XML file that is not parsed properly on the reload.   Can you provide a specific example of an object ID that you were using when the saving (actually reloading) problem was happening?  That'll save me just probing around trying to find an offending ID.

Created Object/create/Yes/Area beside the symbol: SAG 1 & 3; same in Cmnt: box. All objects, even GPX, maps created AFTER the first ampersand use would not save.
