Known bugs and limitations

[iled]

Here is a list of known bugs and limitations. I grouped them into two categories:

• Major relevance: the user has to be careful about these.
• Minor relevance: small issues that should not be noticeable to the user, and may be in parts of the code that are not being used in the last version.

There is no particular order within the categories.

Major relevance

1. Does not support file paths with :/ (which can happen in POSIX systems).

2. In some unknown occasions, using the menu option to "restore/load settings" may add a duplicate network (double check the list and remove as needed).

3. Make sure all the candidate stations are within the grid limits, otherwise it will throw an error while trying to extract the corresponding vertical line.

4. Related with the previous point, be careful to define the grid dimensions in order to accomodate the radius (tolerance) around the stations. Example:

   • the grid is 10 x 10 nodes
   • one station in located at node (2, 2)
   • if using tolerance 3, it will surpass the grid dimensions in the west and north sides
   • you need to increase the grid to at least 11 x 11 (in the aforementioned directions)

5. When calculating the scores for monthly data in the cost-home format, it will only use the first selected checkbox.

Minor relevance

1. cost2gslib only adds the column with the 'year' for annual and monthly data.
2. drill has some offset in the fetched location (not in use).
3. GsimcliParam.load is being used like it was a static method (it should not be a problem because most likely the first condition will short circuit).
4. Using the option to save intermediary files, coupled with using a tolerance, may throw an error while saving.
5. benchmark is not updating the header when using 'monthly'.
