Known Problems In This Release
- Workaround for issue with launching HDFView:
A path issue which causes HDFView to fail to launch can be resolved by using the included batch script in the binary under the app folder.
- If installing HDFView with the installer method, please be aware that the installer does NOT overwrite "hardcoded" associations. If there is a pre-existing user-defined file association, you must manually associate the extension with the HDFView application.
- Attributes with variable-length references will cause HDFView 3.2.0 to crash. This will happen upon reading the attribute for the display attributes tab.
Please see the release notes for more information on known problems.
