[Qgis-user] GPS Tools strange behavior

Hello again,

After a huge set of tests, I found what might be a pattern, although sometimes there are attempts that fail this pattern.

The tool works most of the time, downloading or uploading data, with the commands:
Waypoint download: %babel -w -i garmin -o gpx -f /dev/ttyUSB0 -F "%out"
Track upload: %babel -t -i gpx -f "%in" -o garmin -F /dev/ttyUSB0

since, as Lene Fischersaid, delete the quotes on "%out"/"%in" and then click Update (which puts again the quotes).
In addition, I noticed that it gives much more errors (freezing), using Tab and Enter to click the buttons (Save as and OK). Using the mouse for that, worked in most of the attempts.

So, if you do not delete the "", in most cases it shows the message: "The layer (...) is not a valid layer and can not be added to the map", and moreover, if not using the mouse, the errors are much more frequent.

I made these attempts in both Xubuntu and Windows7, with similar results, although in Win freezing is somewhat less common.

Using gpsbabel directly, both from CLI and GUI, everything works smoothly.

Anyone confirm? Should I open a ticket?

Thank you very much!

Best regards,
Pedro VenĂ¢ncio
