Tried 13.0 dev10_win64 ,won't load extra star catalogs

[Edkiefer]

This only affects 64 build, 32bit works fine .

The star catalogs that give mag11+ don't load even though I have them DL to user folder . I even deleted them and re DL thinking there might be some difference or updates .

here is section of log that shows error .

I can give full log if needed but think that shows the issue , again only 64bit build, 32 loads all catalogs w/o errors .

[Edkiefer (ekiefer)]

Was the .13 beta1exp-win64.exe build suppose to address this issue?

anyway, it does not even start here at all, no log generated , just pop up with "app failed to start because it could not find QT platform plugin found "

[Alexander Wolf (alexwolf)]

It's broken deployment in Qt5.3.1/MSVC2013 :( I'll try fix it.

[Edkiefer (ekiefer)]

yes, new packages work as far as starting , but if exp-win64 build still doesn't load stars_3,4 and 5 catalogs .

Hi

I noticed now this bug is not listed anymore under 0.13 or 0.13.1 , IS there issue with 64 builds now .

Just asking if it is over-site or if I should switch to 32bit testing and usage .
Not really sure if 64bit is really needed anyway ,think the 32bit would be fine on 64bit OS .

[Alexander Wolf (alexwolf)]

This issue related to specific working of MSVC and can be reproduced only on MSVC-build packages. Our 32-bit package has been built by MinGW GCC and it doesn't have this issue.

[Edkiefer (ekiefer)]

Just installed 13.0.8 win64 and user catilogs seem to be loading now, no errors with it (I only have 2 user based to 13.5mag stars ) .

[Guillaume Chereau (guillaume-chereau)]

Yes, there is apparently something wrong with the stars unpacking of the
extra catalogues after my change of using bit operations instead of
bit-fields. I will have a look at this.

[Guillaume Chereau (guillaume-chereau)]

OK never mind my last comment, I hadn't seen the other messages in the threads. This is not related to the bitfield issue.
