Installing v.2.5
« on: February 21, 2005, 10:27:06 AM »
In case any others have a similiar experience:

I downloaded the 2.5 upgrade (the zip file) and overwrote the existing files as directed. When I started TopoFusion up, all I saw was a white screen centered on one of my existing .gpx waypoints that I had been using. Of course I thought that I had screwed up once again.  After doublechecking the files, I tried again, and finally noticed that the program was zoomed way out to the land-sat range. All I had to do was zoom in with the mouse wheel. Silly mistake. But that problem solved.

Then I could not get my existing DEM files to load. Must have messed that up somehow I thought. I looked through the various dialog boxes twice, and just didn't see an appropriate setting (in the 3D preferences dialog) till the 3rd time! Oh well. Just me I guess.  '<img'>  Now things are working, and I can explore the new features.

By the way, a brief note about the upgrade procedure for registered users on the download page might be helpful. I forgot just how I did it last time, and started to download the demo version before I remembered.

Hey guys,

Sorry for the confusion.  We haven't yet sent out the email out to everyone on the list to let them know there is a new version out.  That email has the instructions to remind everyone that they can't download the demo since it's a completely different program.  You need to go to the (unadvertised) full version download page.

I admit it's a little confusing and a bit of a different style than other shareware programs.  But it makes the program more secure to cracking.

Thanks.

Also, if anyone else has similar problems as to what Larry described I'd like to hear about it.  The upgrade process should be smooth and shouldn't result in changing any of your settings.  I don't know what could have happened in your case Larry.  Those settings are stored in the TopoFusion.ini file so it must have got messed up somehow.
