NINAnor / GarminCustomMaps

The GarminCustomMap plugin exports the current map canvas to a .kmz-file, which is compatible with Garmin`s Custom Maps format for handheld GPS units. That way individual maps styled in QGIS can be used as background (raster) maps on the compatible Garmin GPS units, like Alpha, Astro, Dakota, Oregon, Colorado, GPSMAP 62 series, GPSMAP 64 series, GPSMAP 78 series, Edge 800, Montana, Rino, eTrex® 20 and 30.

GarminCustomMaps as published not acting as if a valid zip #2

Closed kcrossen closed 6 years ago

kcrossen commented 7 years ago

As published here: https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/GarminCustomMap/, click "Download latest", the resulting file downloaded to OS-X 10.11.6 fails to unpack w/ "The Unarchiver", which claims to be looking for other parts of archive. Some unzip tools will open GarminCustomMap-1.2.1.zip, but apparently not the one used internally by QGIS. I even changed the OS default to one that worked, no joy. The result is that I've not yet figured any way to install the plugin via the "official" method.

Hi @kcrossen, thanks for the bug report! Unfortunately, I have no Mac available to test myself, so I would depend on your help to fix this... Could you provide a full error message?

Good news, I think or hope. Yours was not the only victim, actually, and all have loaded today. They all had the behavior of the downloaded zip (manual download button) not being openable w/ the standard OS-X decompression utility, but were openable w/ some other decompression applications (but not all, I tried quite a few). I was suspecting a damaged zip file, the least complicated option. I also tried installing some other Plugins, e.g. OpenLayers, and they installed successfully. The other fails yesterday were NumericalDigitize and Numerical Vertex Edit, which both failed in exactly the same way and were tested with the same results as yours. Very sorry to have bother you w/ this, my new suspicion is that the Plugin server was wedged somehow.

OK, thanks for the feedback! I am closing this now, but please reopen if it appears to have been related to the plugin-zip never the less (and not the server or other stuff).
