When a HIPS file is opened, the Check HIPS File process is run to determine if there are any missing files or paths to raw data.
If the raw data used for import (sensor and auxiliary) is not found, the following message is displayed to prompt you to find the missing data and correct the paths to it.
Selecting the Yes option opens the Reset Raw Data Location dialog box, which resolves missing vessels and auxiliary/original raw files, if they are relative to the location of the *.hips file, and fills in the information in the dialog box so it can be confirmed.
Any missing Raw Data sources will be ignored where the track line folder is also missing.
The path to the raw data can be set when at least one of the raw files is found. Items with 'Warning' will resolve only those sources actually found.
The Check HIPS File function can also be opened by right-clicking on the name of the HIPS file in the Project window.
The “Do Not Prompt On Open” option has been added to the Reset Raw Data Location dialog box, for users who are only viewing data and do not have the original raw data. This enables users to set which checks can be ignored the next time that data is opened.
Interface
The paths to missing raw data files can be determined using the Reset Raw Data Location dialog box.
