[maplab-users] projection questions.

[Paul Spencer]

Scott, the preview window was intended to be used that way ... but not 
as a work-around to bugs :)  This same error was reported by Steven 
Woodbridge on the mailing list but it happened under slightly different 
circumstances, I *think* his problem was solved by upgrading to the 
latest development version (I didn't see any response from him on it 
though).

Can you please grab the latest rc3-dev version and see if the same thing 
happens?  We are meeting tomorrow to prioritize work for RC3, we are 
hoping to release it at the end of next week.  It should be the last RC 
before the MapLab 2.0 release.  I'd really like to know if this is an 
old bug that's been fixed or a brand new one that has to be fixed.

We will also try to investigate this.  Dean, can you help out on this 
one and provide Bill with a map file and data that would simulate this 
problem.  If you need more info, contact Scott Tweedy directly.

Cheers,

Paul
