I am still working on a Mac build running some form of Qt 4.8.x.

Please use this post for feedback.

[Markus B]

Hey,

I also installed the Version RC 2, the Problems with Showing the Map are still here. The Bing Map still works.

Markus

[Jan de Visser]

Compiled from source (tip) yesterday (Sunday) morning Eastern time (which I assume is [almost] identical to this RC2) on Ubuntu.

 

I forgot I had added a huge directory (~1000 .tcx files) with my running history from 2010 onwards as an auto-import. Parsing went OK, saving started off fine, but slowed down to where it was almost stagnant at 200 or so files. Pressed Abort at that point, which eventually worked, but the application remained unresponsive. Closing it resulted in a SEGV.

 

Started it again, and it (fortunately) picked up where it left up, with the same result - and once again I forgot to check its memory use when my system still worked, and this time I waited to long and my entire desktop seized up, so I assume it ran out of memory.

 

I'll be starting it up again, and will keep an eye on memory consumption. I'll abort after 100 or so files though :-)

How much RAM does your PC have ? 

[Jan de Visser]

16Gb.

 

Did some more testing - memory didn't really grow (well, it grew, but slowly - I started with 9Gb free and I had like 8Gb free at the end). I clicked Abort after something like 50 activities, and noticed that the app kept one CPU pegged. memory kept growing, but slower. Every now and then a new activity would be displayed in the Summary view (which is the one I had open at the time). App was very unresponsive at that time (would listen to clicks, but with huge delays).

 

I guess it's background processing all the new activities, and the background thread can't keep up with all the new work that's thrown at it.

 

It would probably be helpful to process GUI events a little bit more often.

What OS? What hardware? Which GC version did you install?

[G Coco]

Hi,

I have added a Mac build based on Qt 4.8.7 which should allow anyone still running OSX 10.6 to use the software.

Once 3.2 is released it will be the last version to be built to run on OSX 10.6.

[Markus B]

Hey,

OS X 10.10.3, MBP Mid2009 15", 16GB, GC Version 3.2 Release 2 now, before Release 1 and with 3.1 all function works.

Markus

[Markus B]

Hey Coco!

with the GoldenCheetah_3.2.0-RC2_QT4.dmg all function works!!!!!! THANKS!!!!!!

The Map Register works and I can see also the Laps.

I had no problems with RC1, but RC2 won't seem to open. I've let it run several times, but after selecting my athlete it never opens. Eventually it crashes. I don't have an apple report, but I'll give it another go and save it when it becomes available. I was hoping the GC crash report would be enough.

[Salvatore Taibi]

Does this work??

[Salvatore Taibi]

I tried and tried, but never was able to get RC2 to open. I finally downloaded a clean version of RC1, installed it, and now it's open but looks to be rebuilding the database. Judging by the pace, it could take days (a week??). Is there a better way to get things up and running again, i.e., open a new athlete and import small groups of files at a time? If I do that, however:

1. What files do I need (json/cpx/fit/etc)?

2. Will I lose any data?

3. Can I just open a new athlete and drag/drop groups of files from the old data? I have all the information currently stored on Dropbox.

Thanks!

You can use GC whilst the refresh is happening. If you wait it will get there.

Curious to know how many rides you have, what format they're stored in and your PC spec though.

If its really slow and you have few files and a high spec PC then maybe there is a problem.

[Vlad Mereuță]

Hey all,

I appeared to have a ride that's causing rc2 a lot unhappiness.

Importing the file attached sends GC RC2 into a memory/cpu rampage. Memory utilisation grew to about 50Gb before I killed it. For what it's worth RC1 didn't seem any happier with it.

I'm on OS X. The only slightly odd thing about the .fit file is that I turned off garmin cycling dynamics reporting towards the end of the ride. And it's a long ride (10h elapsed). Is there some logic in there that sucks cpu/memory exponentially with the number of points in the ride?

Also attached is the crash report.

[Salvatore Taibi]

I currently have 1437 activities and am using an older Macbook Pro (2.8GHz/ 4GB Memory) running 10.10.3. You ask about the format, and in the "Activities" folder they are all .json files. This begs a question, however, since I also see them stored as .cpx files in the "Cache" folder, in addition to .fit files in the "Imports" folder. Also, I see four .bak files in the "bak" folder. Can some of these be deleted? I would think the .fit for sure, but what about either .cpx or .json? Are they both needed?

For some reason, this is taking a long time. I can see most of the activities, but moving around within GC is very slow and clunky. I have a few workouts to add, but I'm afraid to do anything that will cause it to crash again. It's been open and running since last night (14 hours or so), although the progress bar doesn't seem to be making any additional headway.

Thanks!

Perfect ! Thanks.

It looks like the FIT file parser breaks at about 34000 seconds in.

How long was this ride in time and distance !?

Please have a look at the wiki here for the description of the new folder structure: https://github.com/GoldenCheetah/GoldenCheetah/wiki/Upgrade_v3.2_Troubleshooting_Guide

/activities, /cache and /config are the minimal/must havest (.CPX is caching metrics from the .JSON, but not the complete content)

/downloads and /imports and /bak are a backup storage of your downloaded, imported files (they are not used operationally - so only occupy disk space, but no memory)

/workouts stored the Train View related stuff

All other folders relate to specific features - so should not be touched - but will also not contain a lot.

Hope that help on files/folder.

Thank you very much. This is exactly what I was looking for, but for the life of me I couldn't find it. Explains it all perfectly.

I have also added a 32bit QT4.8.6 build for Windows for XP users.

Version 3.2.0 will be the last XP supported release of Golden Cheetah.

To locate your current files, open Golden Cheetah, click Help, About GoldenCheetah. Open the directory listed under "Activity files and other data are stored in" and make a copy of this folder. GC will transfer your settings. Hope this helps!

1,400 files isn't a big deal. Something else is wrong with your PC perhaps?

I would expect a full refresh to take < 10 mins for that many files on your setup.

The cpx file is the pre-computed MMP data for each ride.

I was finally able to load RC2, although it never "settled" and was still working in the background, even after 14 hours or so. The result was every click had a delayed response, sometimes up to a minute. Then it began crashing and now it won't open. I've really tried to figure this out on my own, but it is truly above my pay grade. Here is the crash log.

For a long time, I've stored the database on dropbox. Could this have something to do with it? Should I make a copy and move it to the hard drive? I appreciate your time and any help anyone can provide.

I would. I suspect the delays are it sync'ing large amounts of data over your internet connection.

[Salvatore Taibi]

Thanks, I'll give it a try. Quick question: will GC find the newly located files on its own? If not, since I am having a devilish time even getting it to open, should I create a new athlete and import, or just wait until it opens at least once then redirect the location in Preferences?

[Salvatore Taibi]

Just as a follow-up, and to possibly help anyone dealing with similar issues, I finally was able to get things back to normal. Here's what I did:

I moved the files from Dropbox to the hard drive, but the issue remained. What I finally was able to do was pull out the Activities folder, open the athlete, get into Preferences and de-select all the auto-intervals. I also turned off the option to Auto Correct for Elevation, because I had noticed it cause an issue last week. Either way, I then closed the program, put the Activities back, and it loaded up lickety split. It went so well, in fact, I took a chance and re-directed the Athlete back to Dropbox and after restarting, it loaded from there almost as quickly. So, now I am happily able to leave it on Dropbox since I don't have to worry about constantly backing everything up. 

Thanks!

Salvatore

Deleting multiple intervals is no longer available. Why? Is it a bug or intentionally?

Another curiosity, from the new test database with just 2 rides in it. Using estimated, not measured power - although that probably shouldn't matter (I think)

From the Trends/Summary page

60 min Peak Power
1.	218	21 Jun 2015	(0)
2.	193	4 Jul 2015	(0)

You'd expect the averages on the tracker page to look ... well, similar. Instead I seem to have the power output of an anaemic otter:
Date      60 min Peak Power
Jun 2015           29
Jul 2015            28

hi,

Though It may be too late, I've put RC2 packages for debian sid testers.

http://osdn.debian.or.jp/~lurdan/goldencheetah_3.2.0~RC2-1_amd64.deb
http://osdn.debian.or.jp/~lurdan/goldencheetah_3.2.0~RC2-1_i386.deb

DISCLAIMER:
- It's only a it-can-build-with-existing-recipe thing.
- I've built on my headless build server, so it's not tested to run (will test after release)
- Your data directory should be backed up before installing them.

If the recording device does not capture an ambient temperature, GC appears to use -427 degF/-255 degC as a default.

For example, KICKR doesn't report temp, and so TrainerRoad (.TCX) and Bkool (.FIT) exported files have no temp data. But GC applies -427/-255 by default.

Shouldn't this be flagged so the user can make an intervention?

[Ale Martinez]

Can you post sample .tcx and .fit files having this behavior?

Looking at the source I would expect .fit files without Temperature shouldn't have a Temp series when imported, -255 would be the value if Temperature is present with value 0. For .tcx files it seems Temperature is not even supported...

[Richard Kelly]

Yes, you are I think right about .tcx - there certainly is no temp data in the file, and I have checked another .tcx file exported from another application where I know there was temp recorded in the activity, and the exported .tcx has no temp data.

The .fit file I have from Bkool will not import to Garmin Connect (‘undefined’ error) - perhaps this is due to the .fit file missing ‘expected’ activity data like temp?

Anyway, here is the Bkool .fit file

[Alejandro Martinez]

I imported this file in RC2 and it seems to be Ok, with no Temperature data series:

I see, that problem is not related to a particular file format but, when there is not Temp series the Average Temp metrics shows -255 at interval level, OTOH it is ok at activity summary level, it shows a (-). I will take a look at this.

2015-07-10 16:26 GMT-03:00 Richard Kelly <richar...@me.com>:

I agree, but look at the ‘Average Temp’ field in the Interval data on the Summary page:

Hi guys! I wanted to know if the version 3.2 will have compatibility of HR Data on swim mode. Since Garmin is launching a new heart rate strap for measuring HR underwater, I think it would be a cool feature to have HR analysis in swim mode in Golden Cheetah (such as HR zones and time in zone). Thank you!!

[Ale Martinez]

HR data is not filtered out for swim workouts, it is supported now for open water swims, and it could work for lap swimming files with HR data, but I don't have any of them to test.

Hi,

I just put a Ubuntu 14.04 64bit file on Sourceforge.

It is not a .deb so you need to install the one dependency (vlc) manually.

Notes on what to do are on the Sourceforge page.

Does Ubuntu 14.04 use Gcc 5.1. Gcc 5 has only just arrived in sid and
causing some problems during the transition. One of the problems is it
is not possible to install vlc due to dependency with vlc-nox however
the GC dependencies are libvlc5 and libvlccore8 and both of these
install as does GC from sid repros on a sid system.

How can I remove the swim and run parts on all of the summary pages.

How do I remove the word  "bike"  from the activity sidebar. The new
layout has listed  vertically, the date. the word  bike, and two blank
rows so the sidebar now shows only 25% of the rides V3.1 showed.

The other issue with the blue bar identifying the selected ride from

From what I see this was compiled with gcc 4.8. This was a bulk standard 14.04 LTS install with an update done to files.

All libraries except VLC seemed to be in the default Ubuntu install so my test of GC ran fine from the machine I compiled it on.
