Hi

First of all, I love the program, I have been searching for a java app for my w995 for ages which includes OS coords.

However, I can't get the TMJ-OSConverter to work.
-First I had a problem starting the batch files which I fixed by inserting the file location for java.exe (link for anyone else with the same problem: http://forum.ragezone.com/f428/tut-fixing-the-java-is-not-recognized-as-an-internal-or-external-command-problem-527269/)
-Now the program starts and I can enter the bounding coords of the image. However, the button for importing the image is greyed out so unusable.

I am running Windows 7 64-bit

Thanks

Hi,

I've just tried the OSConverter in Win7 64-bit (I usually use WinXP 32-bit) and it seems to work fine here, in both the 64-bit and 32-bit versions of Java. The 64-bit one in Win7 is by default installed in C:/Program Files/Java with the 32-bit one in C:/Program Files (x86)/Java - I suspect that your initial problem might have been related to only having the 64-bit version installed - the 32-bit version can be downloaded from this page.

One other thought - how are you entering the grid references? The Bottom Left and Top Right boxes both need to be in 8-character AA123456 format, eg TQ240660, etc - the Select Input Image button is only enabled once the Grid References are recognised...

Any luck?

Cheers,
Stephen

Thanks for your reply, I just tried it again and this time using CAPS (was using lower case for the letters before).

It worked. My mistake.

Thanks

No worries, glad it worked!

By the way the map file is around 700mb, how long should I expect it to take, and is there a notification when the conversion is complete?

It depends on the spec of the computer processor, but a file this large could take quite a while at the highest quality, potentially an hour or two. I've not attempted a file this large myself (32-bit Java is limited to 1500Mb in total for both the source and destination images, though 64-bit Java shouldnt have this limitation). What is the image pixel width/height?

The image preview should be slowly displaying the new re-projected image - if its not doing this it may be that it can't cope with the size of the source image - does the command-line/script window show any errors. If so it might be worth first testing with a smaller image to prove the process, the larger image should then take a proportionally longer time to render...
