Bug ID: 492066
Summary: KStars Download New Data failing to download some
items
Classification: Applications
Product: kstars
Version: 2.8.9
Platform: macOS (DMG)
OS: macOS
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: mutla...@ikarustech.com
Reporter: arnimbal...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
With a fresh download of KStars 2.8.9 on Mac OS X Sonoma 14.6.1 and trying to
download all the "New Data", the following items fail to download:
* Tycho-2 Star Catalog
* Inline thumbnail images
* NGC Images displayed in the details window
* IC Images displayed in the details window
* Common Images displayed in the details window
I tried to track how it all works and found the ``kstars.knsrc``. Going through
this and downloading ``providers.xml`` and then ``knew stuff.xml`` I managed to
find the download URLs for those 5 items. All of them can be downloaded
successfully and contain the right data. I managed to put the content in place
manually and it works just fine. However, I am failing to identify where the
settings for the unpacking are hidden. It seems that maybe archive structures
or checksum have changed?
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Download KStars and install
2. Try to download all "New Data"
3. 5 items fail to install
OBSERVED RESULT
These items fail to install
* Tycho-2 Star Catalog
* Inline thumbnail images
* NGC Images displayed in the details window
* IC Images displayed in the details window
* Common Images displayed in the details window
EXPECTED RESULT
These items can be installed
* Tycho-2 Star Catalog
* Inline thumbnail images
* NGC Images displayed in the details window
* IC Images displayed in the details window
* Common Images displayed in the details window
