KSExplorer is empty

[jackhab]

I just installed Kaitai 0.7.0 and followed Usage instructions to open a small jpeg file with ksy file from format gallery and KSExplorer remains empty without any errors/warning (while jpeg is loaded in the hex editor). Any ways to debug/analyze this issue?

~~same issue for me, clicking "compile and examine" or "compile to target language" do nothing~~

Edit: Looks like its just extremely slow, It finally loaded after about 10 minutes

Same for me "compile and examine KSY" do nothing but "Compile To Targuet Language" work well.

Same issue here. It appears to be an issue linked with the name of the file:

my ksy file here is wts.ksy and the error changes if i change the name

@ianfhunter's discovery that the error changes depending on the file's name was the clue I needed to figure out a workaround. Make sure the id in your meta section matches the name of the file. For example, if your file starts with:

meta:
  id: my_protocol
  endian: be

then your file must be named my_protocol.ksy for this extension to work.
