I have just begun using Girder and have been very impressed with its functionality but I think I have run into a small bug with the Askey plugin (newbie luck / stupidity?) .
I am currently using an Askey manufactured tv tuner / remote as a base for using Girder (under Windows XP) and the plugin seems to work quite well but I have run into a problem where after binding an IR event to a command I can save the datafile however, I cannot load the datafile. I get a "cannot load datafile" error, I have managed to load files with non IR events bound but they always fail with IR events bound to commands.
I think I have managed to track down the problem in the .GML file with the binding being (IrStr="02001Vw ") or similar. From above I would guess that the plugin is reading in too many charactors and then Girder has problems reading the strange charactors from the saved file. I think (another guess) that only the first 5 charactors are needed to identify the button used on the remote.
(PLEASE NOTE : this is all guesswork on my part and chances are that I am wrong / ignorant or both but please dont flame me!)
Is it possible to get the plugin to read only the first 5 charactors into Girder or has anybody run into this problem before and knows of a solution?
Thanks in advance.
