[chirp_users] Need Windows test help
Hi all,
I think I tracked down the issue recently uncovered on Windows Vista and 7, regarding weird display issues. I would really appreciate it if a few people could grab and test the following build:
http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/gtk-test/
I would like to hear from someone on each of Windows XP, Vista, and 7. Please download and install, and report the version numbers shown in the Help->About box. Then, please do some downloading, uploading, importing, and editing to make sure that it's stable and functional.
It looks like the issue resulting in the weird behavior on Windows Vista/7 might have been causing other minor instabilities in all versions of Windows, so this will be good to get fixed.
Note that this has no effect on the Linux or MacOS builds at all.
Thanks, and I hope to hear from some testers soon so we can get this pushed out in an official daily tomorrow.

GTK 2.24.10 PyGTK 2.24.0 Python 2.7.2
Works well on Win-7 /64bit Loaded VX-7 image, edited, converted to CHIRP, read Baofeng image, overwrote with VX-7.chirp and wrote back to Baofeng. No glitches- screen was refreshing properly.

Excellent, those are the correct answers :P

Great, hopefully this will let us move on to the newer stuff without leaving the Windows users out in the cold :)
I still wanna hear from at least one Windows XP and Vista user!
If you're still looking for a Vista report, the screen painting issue seems to have disappeared with this build:
GTK 2.24.10 PyGTK 2.24.0 Python 2.7.2
Using a prolific cable to an Icom 2200H it read the radio no problem. I have not been able to get memory names to update on the radio, but I'm unfamiliar with the rig and with Chirp so I still have it classed as operator error. I'll let you know if and when I get tired of blaming myself.
Thanks for putting CHIRP out there; the UI on the Icom is tough at best and it's usually in the car, so learning comes slow. I probably wouldn't be able to get much out of this rig without your program.

Perhaps CHIRP is setting the names, but not the flag to have them displayed by default? Try adjusting the ANM setting in the menu. If so, open a bug on the website and I'll get it fixed.
Thanks!
To close out a thread, it was operator error that prevented display of station name on my 2200. No bug to be opened or killed, just a noob.
Thanks for the program and the support; I look forward to learning with it.
