Topic: Mixed up locations

I have been adding new surveys and locations to a new install of Recorder 6 and so far it has been going quite well.

Yesterday, when trying to add a site, Cadishead Moss SJ699952 - in Lancashire - I got 'There are some locations within 2km of the spatial reference you have entered. Would you like to view a list of these locations? Note, selecting an item from the list will discard the new entry you are making.

When I clicked on yes, I was presented with the following list:-

Belhaven Bay, Dunbar  - NT6479 - Scotland
Clarke Gardens - SJ415857 - Liverpool
Cairnyard, Beeswing - NX 906704 - Scotland
Compartment A2, Nantwich Riverside, Nantwich - SJ649515 - Cheshire
Leeds University - SE23 - Yorkshire
Penketh moor - SJ5785 - Cheshire
Rhydymwyn - SJ2067 - North Wales

If I select 'Belhaven Bay, Dunbar' just to see what happens I get an unhandling error with the exception message 'Access violation at address 004047BC in module 'RecorderApp.exe'. Read of address FFFFFFDB'.

or - despite clicking on Belhaven Bay, the location Astley Moss SJ6997 has been inserted, which is actually quite close.

I gave up on all this, clicked no, and added the site Cadishead Moss SJ699952 anyway.

As a test I have just tried adding a location 'Cadishead SJ698951 and had the same list of sites presented, without Cadishead Moss as an option - even though the grid ref is almost identical.

Re: Mixed up locations

This was a known fault in 6.17 which shodul be fixed in 6.18 when it becomes generally available (shortly I hope). If you are already on the Release Candidate version of 6.18 let me know and we will investigaye.

Relieved it is not down to me!
I am currently on 6.17.2.251 - intend trying 6.18 now that I have updated the taxon dictionary to v14.

I'm working on a new system of biological recording. I'm going to call it a "card index". You take little squares of card and.....

Re: Mixed up locations

After upgrading fully to R6.18.1.259 & dict 1A, I am happy to say that the issue I had a few days ago seems to be cured.

I repeated the exercise with Cadishead Moss, and also added two new locations - the existing locations suggested were all within 2km.

Re: Mixed up locations

Glad to see 6.18 has fixed it...when will the "official" 6.18 be released?
