Progress and Resolution of Outstanding Issues

MapInfo Pro

Description and ResolutionIssue Number

After installing an English version of MapInfo Pro on to a German 64-bit Operating Systemsome Set Window commands do not work. When language and locate is set to English,either United States (US) or Great Britain (GB), the commands works.

MIPRO-65092

Resolution: Fixed.


This section lists the updates made since the 12.5.3 release of MapInfo Pro. The 12.5.4 MaintenanceRelease is cumulative and includes all updates supplied with the 12.5.3 Maintenance Release.

Known Issues• Installing 32-bit and 64-bit versions of MapInfo Pro on to the same Machine

You should not install the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of MapInfo Pro into the same directory.

If you install any 32-bit version of MapInfo Professional (including version 12.5.0) after installingMapInfo Pro 12.5.4 on to the same machine, you will encounter an issue when installing bothproducts into the same directory. The 32-bit version of MapInfo Professional does not recognizethat MapInfo Pro 12.5.4 is already installed, so the 32-bit version of the MapInfo Professionalinstallation wizard lets you install into the same folder that 12.5.4 is already installed to. This resultsin files being overwritten, so that neither product operates correctly.



If this issue occurs, uninstall both products. Reboot the computer, then reinstall both the 32-bitand 64-bit versions to different directories.

• Side by side installation of MapInfo Pro 12.5.1 and MapInfo Professional 12.5 PDF Printer

Installing MapInfo Professional 12.5 32-bit after installing MapInfo Pro 12.5.4 will result in theMapInfo PDF printer being downgraded from Version 4.5.3.9 to version 4.5.3.5. This will causeMapInfo Pro 12.5.1 to close unexpectedly when attempting to print a GeoRegistered PDF or aLayered PDF with attributes.

In this case, you will need to do a complete uninstall and re-install of MapInfo Pro 12.5.4.

• Issues with keyboard focus

There are some situations where the keyboard focus is not being set to the active window whenmoving from docked to tabbed to floating.

• Calculate Statistics

The Calculate Statistics command is missing in this release.

• Issue with dual monitors

You may lose floating windows when moving from two monitors to one. On the HOME tab, in theWindow group, click Recover Off Screen Windows to restore the windows.

• Issue with shortcut key in Layer window

In the Layer window, the short cut key (F2) to rename a map may not work properly. If you selecta map and press F2, it highlights the entire text, but once you click inside the cell it turns uneditable.

• Issues with Layout Designer

When you have a large number of maps open, the Map drop-down list in the LAYOUT tab maynot work correctly.

• Ribbon items not displaying properly

Items added to the ribbon when a tool is loaded through the Tool Manager do not appear when amap window is in a floating mode.

• View/Edit Metadata option does not exist in this version

The View/Edit Metadata menu option is not available when you right click on a map in the LayerControl window. This option is present in the earlier versions.

• CTRL + F4 does not close Tool windows.

PressingCTRL+F4 does not close Tool windows. It does, however, close other document windows.

• MapBasic types which contain stringsmay not be passed correctly toWinAPI DLLs in 64-bit



If a DLL function takes a struct type input argument, you can declare a type in MapBasic equivalentto the API struct a function is declared. For structs defined with a string pointer member, there areproblems calling into the x64 WinAPI DLLs if you define this equivalent struct member as a Stringtype. Instead, you need to define the struct member as an IntPtr type. For 32-bit MapInfoProfessional, the equivalent WinAPI DLL struct could be defined with a String type.

• Error message when accessing help from any dialog

Users experiencing an issue using the Help System after installing MapInfo Pro 12.5.3 shoulddelete the mapinfopro12_5_64bit cache folder under the AppData folder (for example,C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\mapinfopro12_5_64bit).


MapInfo Pro


Changing zoom while using custom polygon tool does not work correctly.

If you change the zoom while using a custom poly tool, the rubber band polyline may not drawproperly.

MIPRO-59627

Resolution: Fixed.

Expected errors are no longer trappable when add-ins are loaded.

If a user has an add-in loaded (e.g., MapInfo Pro Raster) and runs a command from anotherapplication that would normally generate a runtime error, that error was being trapped by theadd-in, not the calling application.

MIPRO-59337

Resolution: Fixed. Now the application that generates the error will be the one that receivesthe error.

MapInfo Pro stops working when a layer is selected and display of Grouplayer is disabledthrough MapBasic.

Resolution: Fixed.

MIPRO-61624


This section lists the updates made since the 12.5.1 release of MapInfo Pro.



New Features in 12.5.3 release

Tools and Applications

In MapInfo Pro 12.5.3 Maintenance Release we have added the following tools.

CommandEditor

The CommandEditor tool allows you to edit the following commands' resources in MapInfo Pro.

• Key gesture (Command keyboard shortcut)• MenuItem text• MenuItem toggle text• ToolTip description• ToolTip text• ToolTip Disabled text

TheMAPINFOPRO.MNU file is not updated by this maintenance release. However, we haveupdated the commands' resources in the MAPINFOPRO.MNU file which you can download

Note:

from www.mapinfo.com/resources. You must restart MapInfo Pro for the changes to takeeffect.

SpiderGraph

The SpiderGraph tool creates lines between objects in a single table, or between objects from twodifferent tables based on a common identifier. For example, if you have Stores and Customers astwo tables, and both tables have a store identifier column then the SpiderGraph tool can create anew table with lines connecting customers to their store.

The resulting table contains the lines as well as chosen attributes from the input table(s), along witha column that stores the length of each line. The lines can be color-coded based on their attributeof origin.

To obtain more MapInfo Pro resources and downloads, visit www.mapinfo.com/resources.

If you have already started MapInfo Pro before installing the maintenance release, you willhave to add the new tools manually.

Note:

Layer List Enhancements

The following enhancements have been made in the layers list for the Layer window and the Explorerwindow.

• The Layers list now supports new keyboard and mouse actions, to make it easier to navigatethrough the list using arrow keys. As in the previous versions, clicking on a map name brings thatmap to the front.

• After you click on a map name, you can use the Up arrow key or the Down arrow key to move theselection up or down within the Layers list.



http://www.mapinfo.com/resources

http://www.mapinfo.com/resources

• If you double-click a map name, the focus goes to the map window, so that the arrow keys panthe map. This gesture is useful when you want to put the focus in the map window, but you do notwant to click in the map window because doing so might clear a table selection.

• Within the Layers list, when you use the Up arrow key or the Down arrow key to change theselected map name, that map does not automatically come to the front.

• With a map name selected in the layer list, press Enter to bring that map to the front. Afterwards,you can continue to use the arrow keys to move through the layer list.

• With a map name selected in the layer list, press Ctrl+Enter to bring the map to the front, and putthe focus on the map (so that subsequent arrow keys pan the map). This gesture is useful whenyou want to put the focus in the map window, but you do not want to click in the map windowbecause doing so might clear a table selection.

Minimized Windows now treated as Hidden

The main purpose of a minimized window in older versions of MapInfo Pro was to get them out ofthe way and in effect make them invisible. In MapInfo Pro version 12.5.1, we introduced the conceptof hidden windows. However, we ran into several problems. The minimized windows started toobstruct the status bar. In version 12.5.1, while reading a workspace created by older versions ofMapInfo Pro, we bring up the normal windows as tabbed windows. But minimized windows areconsidered floating windows even though their non-minimized state would be tabbed.

Due to such issues and other inconsistencies, in version 12.5.3, we treat minimized windows ashidden. You can use theWindow List orWorkspace Explorer options to access these hidden windows.

New Features in MapBasic

The following features have been added/updated in MapBasic:

Removing frames from Layout Designer windows

You can delete frames from Layout Designer windows using the MapBasic program. The RemoveDesigner Frame statement, which originally worked only on Legend Designer windows, can nowbe used on Layout Designer windows as well. If the Window clause specifies a Layout Designerwindow ID, the statement removes frames from that Layout.

If you omit the Window clause, the statement operates on the frontmost open window, that is eithera Legend Designer or a Layout Designer window.

Altering Text frames in Layout Designer windows

MapBasic programs can now alter text frames from Layout Designer windows. The Alter DesignerText statement, which originally worked only on Legend Designer windows, can now be used onLayout Designer windows as well. The MB Syntax is has not changed. But it now supports textframes in the Layout Designer.

The following statement can be used to alter the text string, font style, or text position.

Alter Designer Text[ Window window_id ]



[ ID textframe_id [[ Text frame_text ][ Font... ][ Position ( x, y ) [ Units paper_units ] ] ] ]

If you omit the Window clause, the statement operates on the frontmost open window, that is eithera Legend Designer or a Layout Designer window.

Altering frame position in Layout Designer windows

MapBasic programs can now alter frame positions from Layout Designer windows. The Alter DesignerFrame statement with the Position clause can now be used on Layout Designer windows as well.The MB Syntax has not changed but it now supports moving frames in the Layout Designer usingthe Position clause.

The Position clause in the following statement can be used to alter the layout designer frame position.

Alter Designer Frame[ Window legend_window_id ]Id { frame_id }[ Position ( x, y ) [ Units paper_units ] ][ Title [ frame_title ] [ Font... ] ][ SubTitle [ frame_subtitle ] [ Font... ] ][ Columns number_of_columns ] |[ Height frame_height [ Units paper_units ] ][ Region [ Height region_height [ Units paper_units ] ] ][ Region [ Width region_width [ Units paper_units ] ] ][ Line [ Width line_width [ Units paper_units ] ] ][ Auto Font Size { On | Off } ][ Order { Default | Ascending | Descending |{ Custom id | id : id [ , id | id : id ... ] ... } } ][ Style [ Font... ][ ID { id } Text { style_name } ][Line Pen... | Region Pen... Brush... | Symbol Symbol... ] ][ , ... ]

The other clauses are not supported for layout frames.

If you omit the Window clause, the statement operates on the frontmost window, that is either aLegend Designer or a Layout Designer window.

Refreshing Image frames in Layout Designer windows

MapBasic programs can refresh an image frame in a Layout Designer window if the underlyingimage source file has changed. The new Refresh Designer Frame statement can now be used torefresh image frames.

Refresh Designer Frame[Window window_id] ID frame_id [, frameID ...]where, "window_id" is a Layout Designer window's integer windowidentifier. If no window is specified the command assumes the frontmostLayout Designer window.



"frame_id" is a number that specifies which frame within the LayoutDesigner window you want to refresh. Frames are numbered 1 to n, where,n is the number of frames in the layout.

As this is a new MapBasic command it cannot be used directly in a compiled MapBasicapplication using the existing 12.5 compiler. It can be used within a “Run Command” statementin a MapBasic application or the .Net “Do” method in an integrated mapping application.

Note:

New Coordinate Systems

New Datums added:

• JGD2011 - Datum for Japan• Timbalai 1948, Everest 1968• GDM2000• MAGNA-SIRGAS

New Projections

• 35 – Added support for Rectified Skewed Orthomorphic projection used in Malaysia.

The following is a list of required parameters to be used with the new projection type. For example,for the Peninsular RSO GDM2000 Datum entry the parameters are:

MapInfo Pro


>Exporting a map with translucent layer using bitmap fill patterns sometimes does not exportcolors correctly.

Resolution: Fixed. The exported images, from Save Window As, now look as good as theyappear on the screen.

MIPRO-39353

Error opening a WFS-Service in MapInfo Pro.

We write a WFS Table Description file (which uses an XML file type) to go along with the TABfile. The file contains information about the server, tables on the server, columns, and any

MIPRO-42466

filters used. Due to an XML namespace issue, the Microsoft DOM reader (and in turn MapInfoPro) is unable to read the file.

Resolution: Fixed.

The default output format for the DescribeFeatureType request (which returns a schema withthe table structure) was changed between WFS 1.0 and WFS 1.1. We were correctly using

MIPRO-50913

the new default if the server supports POST requests, but not if the server only supports GETrequests. If the server also only supports WFS 1.1 and not the older schema format, it producesan error.

Resolution: Fixed.




Oracle Spatial 12c : In the Open DBMS Table dialog box, do not show the index tables of typeMDXT%.

Resolution: Fixed.

MIPRO-45949

Now any Oracle table name starting with ‘MDXT_’ are filtered out in the Open DBMS Tabledialog box. Users should not name their Oracle tables starting with “MDXT_”.

Inaccuracy in Ruler Tool when zooming in/out.

The issue with calculating the first point position to display the distance result in the ruler toolas been fixed. We now calculate the position of all points identically, which produces moreconsistent results.

MIPRO-41165

Resolution: Fixed.

If the cutter/target object has some polygons with 3 points, the exterior polygons were notgetting correctly classified and some object processing operations like overlap calculationsand erase were giving incorrect results.

Resolution: Fixed.

MIPRO-37789

TheMWS file with an empty BitMap XML element created withMapXtremeWorkspacemanager,fails to open in MapInfo Pro.

Resolution: Fixed.

MIPRO-49806

In some cases, MapInfo Pro does not show any data for columns type nchar and nvarcharfrom SQL Server tables.

Resolution: Fixed.

MIPRO-43994

Printing of transparent bitmap fill patterns to PrintOSBM.

Improved print quality of bitmap fill patterns for transparent backgrounds. This applies for theMap windows that are being printed using the "Print using Off-Screen Bitmap (OSBM)" print

MIPRO-56808

method, or for map frames in a Layout Designer windowwhen theMap has enhanced renderingturned on. The bitmap fills should look similar to the quality of the non-transparent bitmap fills,except that the background is transparent.

Resolution: Fixed.

Provide option to print bitmap fill pattern without smoothing.

Added the ability to control whether bitmap fill patterns appear smooth or not when printedusing the Print OSBM print method. The Map Option for "Smooth Lines & Borders" is used to

MIPRO-56815

specify whether to smooth the bitmap fill patterns. Previously bitmap fill patterns were alwayssmooth for Print OSBM.

Resolution: Fixed.




Certain transparent bitmap fill patterns did not print properly. The output of certain patternslooks slightly different when printed due to the addition of extra pixels in the bitmap pattern.This is most noticeable with region fill patterns B4, D4, and C5.

Resolution: Fixed.

MIPRO-57147

Problems with printing certain hatch patterns to PDF

If you are using fill styles C1-H1 and you are printing to the PDF printer, you need to set thecorrect option in the MapInfo PDF Printer . If your PDF output has fill styles that go outside

MIPRO-14837

the bounds of the region(s), you should turn on the following option. In the MapInfo PDF Printer,Properties > Advanced Options > check Enable Postscript Simulation.

If you are printing regions that use fill styles D1, E1, or H1, and your Map Options haveEnhanced Rendering turned on, you can now toggle smoothing on/off for those fill styles. Inthe Map Options dialog box, use the Smooth & Lines to adjust the display of those 3 fill styles.If you choose Anti-alias, the fill patterns will be smoothed (this was the old behavior). Now,you have the option to turn off smoothing for those fill patterns by choosing None.

Resolution: Fixed.

MapInfo Pro linked table issue.

MapInfo Pro did not reuse a DBMS connection when refreshing/updating a linked table if theconnection string in the linked .TAB file is modified by changing parameters order or adding

MIPRO-47349

spaces. It also happened when working with a linked table created using a connection openedby Server Connect MapBasic function (when connection string parameters order is differentfrom the one generated automatically using GUI).

Resolution: Fixed.

Update to DBMS database causes MapInfo Pro to crash.

The crash occurred when the mapcatalog had some invalid data in a column preceding'coordinatesystem' column (unsupported spatial type for example).

MIPRO-44246

Resolution: Fixed.

Double quotes in column content causes an ORA-01036 error in MapInfo Pro.

Resolution: Fixed.

MIPRO-41963

MapInfo Pro crashes when exporting or printing a map or a layout with a map that containpolygons with holes.

Resolution: Fixed.

MIPRO-22607

LayoutDesigner - Problem with printing certain text / font combinations.

The appearance of certain text strings when using some fonts such as, "tt" and "ff" sometimesget converted to a single character or do not print properly. This happened with the text in the

MIPRO-58031




layout designer frames, legend designer frames, or browser windows (or browser frames inlayout designer). A specific example of the problem was the word "button" with font Calibri inthe layout designer.

Resolution: Fixed. The letters now print properly.

L10N: German: "Create Legend" dialogue - wild card not getting expanded

The wildcard strings “#” and “%” are used to insert map layer name and legend symbol typeinto legends. They used to be stored in mires.dll string resources but have been moved outto avoid being inadvertently translated.

MIPRO-57947

MapInfo Pro 12.5 crashes when registering a tool using TOOLTABL.DLL

The root cause of the issue was that the RegisterTool() signature was changed by introducingone more parameter for ImageUri in x64. As a result, a MapBasic program having the oldRegisterTool() function call was causing MapInfo Pro to crash because of signature mismatch.

MIPRO-57366
