Remove the obsolete map files from the directory where they were installed, then reindex maps. Look in /usr/local/share/xastir/maps/Online and get rid of the ones that Xastir no longer installs. Once that's done, using Xastir's "Reindex All Maps" will re-examine the contents of the maps directory and reconstruct its index. The result will be that those maps will stop appearing in the chooser. They will continue to appear in the chooser UNTIL you reindex, though, because the chooser is constructed from the local index in your ~/.xastir/cnf/map_index.sys file. The problem here is that when you update Xastir, it doesn't remove previously installed files that are no longer installed by new versions --- they just stay around as zombies until you remove them by hand. The easiest way to see which maps are zombies is to do an update of Xastir from source and install it, then look at /usr/local/share/xastir/maps/Online and see which maps are NOT dated with today's dates. Those are the ones that we removed from the distribution because we know they don't work anymore. They are safe to remove by hand and will not get reinstalled next time you update. If you find maps that ARE installed by the current version and which are broken, we either need to get them fixed or get rid of them. -- Tom Russo KM5VY Tijeras, NM echo "prpv_a'rfg_cnf_har_cvcr" | sed -e 's/_/ /g' | tr [a-m][n-z] [n-z][a-m] _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://xastir.org/mailman/listinfo/xastir
