4.6: Plot GPS Logs error

[msbc]

Trying the GPS functions in 4.6. I load a GPX file (one I've used with other GPS apps like HoudahGeo and GPSPhotoLinker) and select the 'Plot GPS Logs' button. I get an error warning "Log status: parse error.". Tried with multiple GPX files all produce this error.

We're aware of this one.  I have fixed it and the next beta will have the fix.  If you want to edit your gpx files you can make a simple change to them and Photo Mechanic will work with them.  The Photo Mechanic beta you have at this time expects the 'gpx' tag to be formatted like so:

<gpx xmlns...

So if yours looks like this:

<gpx
  version="1.0"
  creator="GPSBabel - http://www.gpsbabel.org"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xmlns="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0 http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0/gpx.xsd">

change it to look like this:

<gpx xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  version="1.0"
  creator="GPSBabel - http://www.gpsbabel.org"
  xmlns="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0 http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0/gpx.xsd">

Then it should work.

I have a Garmin Oregon 400 and I've copied the top of the gpx file below.  I also get the parser error, but here it seems that the GPS is declaring it correctly???

Does the file not have any line endings?  It needs to have line endings.

Yes, it appears to have a valid xml ending:


on="-135.296927"><ele>52.05</ele><time>2009-02-22T23:20:22Z</time></trkpt><trkpt lat="57.048937" lon="-135.296906"><ele>52.05</ele><time>2009-02-22T23:20:25Z</time></trkpt><trkpt lat="57.049165" lon="-135.296363"><ele>52.05</ele><time>2009-02-22T23:20:55Z</time></trkpt></trkseg></trk></gpx>

I just didn't dump the entire file.

Any ideas why it doesn't work?  Of course, I can send you the file if you'd like.
