yep did that, re-indexing works nicely with shapefiles, I have very little or no trouble getting xastir to pick up on new maps and then choosing and displaying is unproblematic. The only issue is with uiview-derived maps.
Please send me a set of files that you cannot convert, just one or two images with their associated .INF files. Send them direct rather than to the list. I'll see whether I can convert them. This should let us know whether the problem is in the map+.inf or in the script+Xastir side of things.
I wonder if there is an online depository of related info that I can browse through, sort of 'rtfm'
There should be a bunch of text files distributed with Xastir. Hopefully the package maintainer for your OS decided to include those. If not, they're available via SourceForge in the More, Code->CVS Browse area.
PS My mate suggested that maybe this is a xastir version issue, I am quite unsure though, the SPM version that I am now using on 5 Ubuntu machines has no problems handling shp
I doubt that's the issue, but it's always possible. What version of Xastir are you running?
