import smarttrack .slg files

[M W]

I downloaded  
smtk2ssrf-4.8.6-x86_64.appimage 
from https://github.com/subsurface/subsurface/releases/tag/v4.8.6
but it crashs with a core dump
output:

$ ./smtk2ssrf-4.8.6-x86_64.appimage in out

        in

Couldn't read first page.

[Writing]
        out

Is there a way to get the old smarttrack files into subsurface?

Hi M.

Yes. `smtk2ssrf` is the tool for importing SmartTrak `.slg` files.

`in` and `out` must be filenames, not directories. The output shown means the tool tried to read the directory `in` as an input file.

The simplest option is to run the AppImage without arguments and use its file-selection window:

./smtk2ssrf-4.8.6-x86_64.appimage

Alternatively, specify the `.slg` file and a new XML output file explicitly:

./smtk2ssrf-4.8.6-x86_64.appimage "/path/to/SmartTrak-log.slg" "/path/to/imported-dives.xml"

Do not use an existing Subsurface log as the output file, as it will be overwritten. Open the resulting XML file in Subsurface afterwards.

This Linux converter is an old build. If it crashes or cannot convert an actual `.slg` file, please send the complete command and terminal output. We can then determine whether building the current converter from source is necessary.

Hi Michael,
thanks for the quick answer, but it also crashes with filenames:

$ ./smtk2ssrf-4.8.6-x86_64.appimage in/Log1037-1520.slg out/Log.xml

[Importing]

        in/Log1037-1520.slg
