Export to Google Earth kml does not write file

If I go to export my scan results as Google Earth kml, the program goes through the motions of having me choose a file name, but then does not write out the kml file.

(Is there a workaround until this is fixed to convert the scan results to kml?)

This one was hiding in plain sight. It was a problem for all exported file types.

The target wasn't being set for the NSInvocation object used to call the method that did the actual work. I changed invoke to invokeWithTarget:self and and files are being saved.

Thanks. Now that this issue is fixed, I am now able to export a .kismac file as .kml. I have just examined the coordinate data from my test war drive of Aug 6 and find that when I tried to scan with the US Global SAT BU-353 (while not connected to any network), that all the network locations are attributed to my starting point where I may have been briefly online. I think KisMac did not make use of the BU0353. So either there is a bug or I don't know how to setup for location aware scanning with a USB GPS. So that brings us back to issue 53 where I asked for some documentation or notes on how to set up for scanning with GPS tracking. Can you please advise on that issue? Do you have a GPS device you can test with?

Hi, just curious if you have been able to get any meaningful location data recorded, and if you are still working on KisMac and what issue or feature you are currently looking at? Thanks

I don't have a GPS device and I'm using a Mac Mini at a fixed location, so I don't get meaningful location data.

I'm looking at the USB devices; issue #71 for example.
