Unsupported tag breaks DM reading #55

Closed ercius closed 8 months ago

ercius commented 8 months ago

A user brought a DM file to me which could not be read.

We found out a tag in the file called Saturation fraction has values that look like this: [ inf 0.00218585 0.00237532 0.00249739 0.0026716 0.00234353 ...

The inf cant be processed properly by the fileDM._bin2str function.

In the DM tag tree, this tag is printed with a value that indicates it "can not be displayed" and might not be that useful.

The solution is to wrap a try statement around the return of _bin2str() and return some other string (like "can not be read") instead. Then the file data can be loaded properly.
