Scythebill 10.6.1 can't read my list (from Scythehbill 10.5.1)

[Adam Winer]

Original issue 186 created by adam_winer on 2014-09-27T12:48:22.000Z:

<b>What steps will reproduce the problem?</b> 1. Attempting to open my saved Scythebill list using 10.6.1 <b>2.</b> <b>3.</b>

<b>What is the expected output? What do you see instead?</b> Instead of seeing the opening page I get an error message, 'Bad file / File "BBN List.bsxm" could not be loaded, and may not be a valid Scythebill file. (Details about the problem may appear in the console)"

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? 10.6.1 on Mac OS 10.7.5

<b>Please provide any additional information below.</b> This may be the same kind of problem that scuppered 10.6.0. I attach my list in case it is helpful. Thanks.

Fixed the problem in revision 1057.

If a checklist: - Has a sighting (or custom checklist entry) that is affected by a split - And is in a location covered by a built-in checklist - And none of those split forms are listed on the built-in checklist for that location ... than the upgrade failed.

In this case, the unlucky circumstance for your list was your custom Sabah checklist - it listed Uniform Swiftlet for Sabah, which I think is inaccurate, but at any rate isn't on Scythebill's Malaysia list.

I've attached an upgraded version of your list that you can use without further issue; I'll have to ponder whether this issue is severe enough to merit another immediate release (it probably is).

Thanks very much for working on this. Unfortunately I still can't seem to read the list that you sent using the new Scythebill. I still get the same error message. I will try deleting some checklists.

Make sure you're downloading and opening the "BBN List.bsxm" towards the bottom, not the one you originally uploaded. I just retested, and if you download that one it does work. To make it really clear, I've reattached it - and the name is now "BBN List fixed.bsxm".

Yes I was careful to open the "fixed" file and I get the same error message when I try to open it with 10.6. I have now deleted the entire Sabah checklist and my list is still not readable by 10.6. I'd be happy to delete all other custom checklists too but I can't remember if I added others or what they are. Not sure what to try next. Maybe I'll try re-downloading 10.6. I attach my current list (no Sabah checklist, still won't open) -- maybe you can figure out why it won't open, though it sounds like maybe it will open for you.
