[mkgmap-dev] option --mdr7-del: change or add new option?

Mon Jan 17 16:20:35 GMT 2022

Hi Mike,

I fear it is even worth. The usage of mdr7-del seems to corrupt the address search index.
Maybe only that for the PC.

@Ticker: When mdr7-del is used I see a lot of errors reported by MdrCheck and I can
reproduce wrong search results in MapSource.
I think the problem is that we calculate the flags based on the name which was
processed by mdr7-del, but instead we should use the real name from the label.

I hope I can fix that...
Gerd

Hi Gerd,

My suggestion was simply that it was more logical to remove them from
anywhere, I don't actually use the option.
I would be in favour of changing the existing option unless anyone states
they specifically need to only remove the words from the end of the label.
I would not be in favour of adding a new option unless there are users that
need both implementations (which I think is unlikely).

The removal of words from anywhere would also give better results in the
case where a number of words are added to the label, but one or more of the
words has inadvertently been missed from the --mdr7-del option.

Cheers,
Mike

Hi all,

the current implementation only removes words from the right.
Felix and Mike both suggested to change that so that the listed words are
removed anywhere,
and I think Arndt's Style would also benefit.

Should I simply change the implementation and documentation
or is backward compatibility important?
If we want to be backward compatible we need a new option.
This could be something like --mdr7-delx or --mdr7-del-all

Gerd
