No worries.

Don't spend/waste any time at all with the old method it is a Microsoft bug and they have already fixed in a new Windows build version (not released yet).
My main reason for posting that was a warning to others and to make people aware so they didn't waste time with it.
Also so Dirk could add a note that it is a known issue if he releases another beta or if the Microsoft fix is not released before Subsurface 4.5 final is released.

That would be great as it seems to be the main issue.
I'm happy to try any test/debug builds if it makes it easier with the problem.

Ok so it probably just the scan is not picking up the correct address.

I just had an idea to find your original version that I tried as I had deleted it a while ago.
I went back through old emails and found your dropbox link and re-downloaded and I can confirm that that version after doing a scan shows the correct addresses.

So I can confirm that something has been broken from your dropbox version (1329) to the current daily build(s) that Dirk does.
