Other than GX Developer advances, this version is primarily a maintenance release that corrects a number of bugs and minor design issues in the system. We are also working on advancing underlying technologies that will be in place for new features in the future.
Files identified in menu files (omn and smn files) can now use references to directories that are only known at run-time. Any file name in a menu file or a script may use one of the following a prefixes to identify the directory in which to locate the file:
For example, if you install your custom system, including GXs, in the user\my_system directory, you can identify the GX in your OMN file as follows:
An example of how to call a C dll by passing a handle created in a GX has been added. The new example is the function ChanBase_ADD_ in the add_.c source file (see <geosoft>\gxdev\c\add_\). This function takes a database handle and adds a constant base value to the contents of a specified channel. The Test1 GX exercises the function.
The GX Developer documentation has also been updated to describe the new features and correct some inaccuracies in the previous documentation.

"fixed a bug in the IP import of Zonge FLD files. Because I started the reading of the line number too far long in the lines of data in the file, line numbers of more than 3 characters were truncated to just 3, so that Line 12100 (for instance), would import as line 100. Because the IP system stores the line number internally, the user could not recover or correct this value" |

Abort when saving and closing a workspace. |
| 18477 |
IP Pseudosection GX bug when specifying extra data profiles - goes to wrong dialog. |
| 18471 |
abort opening workspace after upgrading. |

We disable the OASIS montaj window during communication. |

"when creating a new channel group, it should get associated with all the other group lines sharing the same name. If class name exists, it should associate with other groups. Added new functions and improved the New channel dialog functionality to accomplish this." |
| 18352 |
Abort attempting to paste a duplicate map with an offset. More debugging added. |
| 18336 |
New channels not associated and loaded into all groups with the same class name. This now loads the channel as well. |

"There is no difference between the two different plotting styles in the IP package for the Pole-Dipole surveys. The current PLDP and DPPL plots are misleading, because the dotted line for the Tx doesn't attach at the Tx probe, and the line to the Rxs goes midway - which is the Zonge convention (but not the default). I have altered both the PLDP and DPPL figures for 1) (above) so that the dotted lines start at the Tx and nearest Rx, and created two new Mapplot control files, dppl2leg.con and pldp2leg.con, to show the situation for 2), with the line now going to the midpoint of the two Rxs. The code now automatically chooses the correct one of the 4 PLDP control files, depending on line plot point convention and whether it is PLDP or DPPL." |
| 18247 |
"Problems with the displayed channels when switching between a group line (e.g. TARGETS) and line data in UX-Detect. It works fine oroiginally, but if the gdb is saved then re-opened, the line gets all the channels displayed, most of which are from the TARGETS groups, and irrelevant." |

"When averaging the data in the IP package, if in the QC process a given (station,N) with only one measurement is rejected, the averaged data contains a line (fiducial) with all dummies. There were a number of associated problems and now it handles string channels better, and, when the user chooses ""Overwrite"", the old ""Raw data"" values involved in the average are completely removed, and replaced with the average." |
| 18186 |
"When plotting the profile, an option is given to average the values using one of the canned filters (pyramid, pant let, etc.) and post the average value at the top of the image and make a profile at the top of the map window. There's also an option to average all N values or to post the value for any given N-spacing: 0 averages, and 1,2,3...n posts the N value. Only 0 works. Code was reading down a column of a pseudo-section, not across the row..." |

"Error importing alphanumeric line numbers such as 91-145. The code, which determined whether the line name was a valid number or an alphanumeric string wasn't stringent enough in its test for a valid number. Taking the value ""91-145"" it first tested to see if only the characters ""="", ""-"" or 0-9 were present, and, if yes, used the default microsoft routine for reading a long value, which stops when it hits the first unrecognizable character, in this case the ""-"", to give a line name of 91. In fact, only the first character can be ""+"" or ""-"". After changing this test, the code now realizes that ""91-145"" is not a valid number, and assumes an alphanumeric string." |
| 18091 |
Abort while I was trying to edit a group in a dxf |
| 18015 |
"Sections of line data were overwriting instead of appending when imported from the same file. The names of lines are now tracked as the import proceeds, and append blocks of data to the existing data for those lines which have already been imported to. (A fresh import will still overwrite all pre-existing data). " |

"Spelling mistake in Grid\Display Grid drop down menu option. it seems that company policy is to use the British spelling, ""colour"". I have thus gone through all the menus and changed ""color"" to ""colour"". I also took the opportunity to standardize capitalization. Now, only the first word in menu items is capitalized (unless using a proper name or short form such as EM or ID)." |
