Bug fixes

The following are issues with previous Geocap versions. These have been resolved in Version 7.1.5.

  • Command Cross section on trimmed grids: option "Trace from project" did not work properly.
  • Bookmarks in Reference Manual did not work.
  • Read color tables with extension .ctb.
  • Reading Multibeam format MB41 does not fail when reading longitudes greater than 90 degrees.
  • Script item linked to existing file gets filename listed under Properties.
  • Multibeam data handle navigation dataset with edited navigation lines.
  • Problems with getdatum and setcoordinatesystem for geodesy widget.
  • Command grp failed for trimming of existing Structured Points.
  • Convert to Seismic failed for Vertical Calibrated Images.
  • Problems with spike- and speed filter in Seafloor navigation processing.

Known issues

High DPI Displays have increased pixel density compared to standard DPI displays. They are known as 4K and the resolution is typically 3,840 x 2,160. The Geocap user interface is not compatible with 4K monitors; the user may experience tiny icons and squashed dialog items. We are committed to solving this issue in an upcoming release.

You may see the error message The license file does not have the feature: geocap 7.1. This is misleading as there are no 7.1 features for Geocap; the message indicates an invalid or uninitialized license. Existing Geocap users should be fine as the license for 7.1 continues unchanged for Geocap 7.1.5.
