GM14: Wrong export file name when using only one grid row

OddBob

Hi,

I've found an issue with GM14 (seems OK in GM13): When I export files in grids using only one row, the naming is not as set in the configuration.

Even though only one row is used, it should be named "A", but the output ends up as underscore "_".

Example: I run a script with the following line

EXPORT_RASTER FILENAME="D:\OutputPNG.png" TYPE=PNG BG_TRANSPARENT=NO FILL_GAPS=YES SPATIAL_RES_METERS=50.0 GEN_WORLD_FILE=YES GRID_TYPE_ROWS_COLS=1,8 GEN_PRJ_FILE=YES

The output files are named

OutputPNG__1.png
OutputPNG__2.png
…
OutputPNG__8.png

This should have ended up as

OutputPNG_A1.png
OutputPNG_A2.png
…
OutputPNG_A8.png

If I change the gridding and use two rows

EXPORT_RASTER FILENAME="D:\OutputPNG.png" TYPE=PNG BG_TRANSPARENT=NO FILL_GAPS=YES SPATIAL_RES_METERS=50.0 GEN_WORLD_FILE=YES GRID_TYPE_ROWS_COLS=2,4 GEN_PRJ_FILE=YES

it looks as expected

OutputPNG_A1.png
OutputPNG_A2.png
OutputPNG_A3.png
OutputPNG_A4.png
OutputPNG_B1.png
OutputPNG_B2.png
OutputPNG_B3.png
OutputPNG_B4.png


I have not tested if using only one coloumn/several rows gives the same problem.

Could you please have a look at this?

How do you have your grid naming setup on the Gridding tab for your last export? Since you didn't specify any grid naming in the EXPORT_RASTER command, the last setup will be used. I would suggest adding the naming right to the command by adding the following to your EXPORT_RASTER command:

GRID_NAMING="SEPARATE" GRID_NAMING_COLS="NUM,1" GRID_NAMING_ROWS="ALPHA,A" GRID_NAMING_SEPARATOR=""

That said, I did take a look and discover a bug in the single row/column case. I have that fixed now. I have placed a new build at http://www.bluemarblegeo.com/downloads/global-mapper/global_mapper14.zip with the latest changes for you to try. Simply download that file and extract the contents into your existing v14.xx installation folder to give it a try. If you are using the 64-bit v14 version there is a new build at http://www.bluemarblegeo.com/downloads/global-mapper/global_mapper14_64bit.zip .

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
