Error using concatenate function directly on checked raw files #90

Closed simedroniraluca closed 10 months ago

simedroniraluca commented 11 months ago

Description: When attempting to use the concatenate function directly on checked raw echo sounder files, the operation fails, leading to a KeyError. However, if these raw files are first converted to .nc (NetCDF) format, saved, and then reread, the concatenate function works as expected without any errors. This discrepancy suggests a potential issue when handling raw files directly.

We have decided to close this issue. The primary reason for our decision is that our standard workflow and best practices now involve using only NetCDF (.nc) and Zarr formats for concatenation. We recommend converting any raw echo sounder files to one of these supported formats before attempting any concatenation operations.
