CXL import bug

Post by jcase »

Hello,
The "to-pos" and "from-pos" fields of the "<connection-appearance>" structure of a CXL file are not applied when imported.
example to illustrate:
- create a cmap with 2 concepts linked by 1 line (no linking phrase)
- link the endpoints of the line to a non-center point on the concepts (left, right, top, top-left, etc.)
-export map as CXL file
-close the current cmap (no need to save)
-import the saved CXL file you just exported
-the line will now be attached to the centers of the concepts. The fields are correctly marked in the file, but they are not being applied.

Configuration: Windows Vista Ultimate SP2, 2 GB, 32 bit OS, Intel core 2 duo @1.66 GHz
Cmaps version 5.03
