Gnarly Landscape Utilities- Core Mapper

[johngallo]

The tool is extremely fragile with later versions of Office. Possibly anything later than 2014 based on the error message.

Sample data runs if you put it in the directory as outlined in the sample data spreadsheet. Not anywhere else, since that requires an edit to the sample data spreadsheet...

OK, so it appears that when you make a change to a working file in Office2019 it says, “this file is not enabled to protect your safety. Do you want to enable editing?” or something to that effect. and if you click yes, then that does something that then makes the data unreadable by Gnarly Tools.

But…If you edit the sample excel file in Google Docs, this does not happen. and you are able to then run the model with edits…

it may be that if you make a file from scratch in excel this won't be a problem.

Seems like the quick fix is to add this to error messages, longer fix is to fix the problem.

More details are in my GIS notes for the Wolf project on today's date.

Here is an example error message:
