Arbitrary birth-time reset #12

Closed Yaksinikos closed 2 years ago

Yaksinikos commented 2 years ago

MY Setup: wine on Linux Astrolog750

Issue: Somewhy the birth-time manipulate ifself after importing a .aaf file.

How to reproduce:

Create a new chart for: 18.12.1936 18:10 in "Marks, Russia"
Export it as .aaf file
import it again
somewhy the time resets itself automatically to 6:10 ... but in file it is still correct

This is a bug. The AAF file is correctly exported, but Astrolog isn't importing it back in correctly. Astrolog is incorrectly parsing beyond the "18:10" in the file, and seeing the "a" at the end of "Russia" as an "am" suffix, and so is seeing the time as 6:10am. Hack workaround: Put an underscore or other alternate character at the end of "Russia", so the time isn't seen as "am". This bug will be fixed in the next version.
