I guess you mean .txt for for airspace ?

Re: CoTaCo : Yet another task converter for XCSoar
Yes. Tsk Taskfile(s) and txt Airspacefile(s)
Default.tsk/txt for automated use.
SelectedFileName.tsk/txt for manual/archive use.
And then use landscape.prf and competition.prf (same glider and specific waypoints, etc)

Re: CoTaCo : Yet another task converter for XCSoar
XCSoar doesn't read the Default.txt file unless it is specified explicitly in the profile file (or selected in the app), so you have to edit the profile file or load the airspace
IMHO , writing a profile file remains useful for users who just want to convert a task and fly without too much hassle (not having to manually select airspace, map, glider type & way points)

Re: CoTaCo : Yet another task converter for XCSoar
Yes. Default.txt defined in the prf. Then you don't have to select it.

Re: CoTaCo : Yet another task converter for XCSoar
I only just discovered cotaco also creates an airspace text file for the penalty zones. Thats really brilliant, and xcsoar showing a side view of a penalty zone from 900-2000m, along with my glide slope helped me a lot in NK-2020.
Well, no, it didnt really, I was too low anyhow, but it could have helped!

Version 3 is available for beta testing : https://drive.google.com/open?id=1suXny ... VTXW73eqtg
I would not recommend overwriting your existing installation.
Copy your existing CoTaCo.ini to the new installation folder and run CoTaCo, the file will be updated.
New functionalities are :
- LK8000 support
- possibility to use a post-run script (not supplied for the time being, there is an example in the LK8000 thread) to transfer the converted files to another device
Some rather extensive testing has already been done for LK8000 (see here)
I would appreciate if someone could please check if the XCSoar part works as usual
Some proofreading of the manual(s) would be great too
Thanks in advance

Re: CoTaCo : Yet another task converter for XCSoar
Before going in to anything else, it seems if you edit the ini file in notepad, it changes the encoding and cotaco crashes:
You have to do it in notepad++ or similar. This is a screenshot comparing the notepad edited file (left, causes a crash) with a "new" one which works (right):
I only just noticed that section is actually duplicated:
That might be the root cause. It does that when you recreate the ini after deleting it.
Code: Select all

Thanks
Could you please try "Save as" in Notepad and check the encoding, it should be ANSI or UTF-8, definitely not UTF-16

Re: CoTaCo : Yet another task converter for XCSoar
notepad sees it as UTF-8, notepad++ says its ANSI. Saving as ANSI in notepad doesnt solve it. Notepad removes the invisible NUL characters in the duplicated Flightplans path= section.
Re: CoTaCo : Yet another task converter for XCSoar
It was indeed a problem with the NULL character.
It should be fixed now
Same download link.

Re: CoTaCo : Yet another task converter for XCSoar
Now it runs only once. First time it appears to work, the second time it runs (when cotaco.ini is created), it gives me an error:
*** file cotaco.ini: missing data***
Thats without me touching the ini file.
Im guessing its still related to that duplicate Flightplans path=
which now no longer is duplicate but something somewhere still wants it to be? You can tell Im an expert programmer

Looks like gardening and coding/debugging don't mix well
I'll take a more serious look at that tonight ...

Could you post or send me the CoTaCo.ini file generated ?
