Import .NS1 files shows blank

Post by bilbox »

I want to import some older Netstumbler files, .NS1. I go to import, tell it Netstumbler wi-scan file, browse to the file name and it shows downloading with a bar. Curiously, it does not close that window after it completes but shows "Progress: done" but no new APs. If I close that window, I just get an empty Vistumbler screen. Version 10.11.

Can you post a wi-scan file for me to test with?

Your forum says "The extension ns1 is not allowed." I renamed it a .txt. Change back to ns1 to test.

Vistumbler does not support binary ns1 files like the one you attached. I was able to use netstumbler to import your file and export a wi-scan summary file (Netstumbler->File->Export->Summary)

In the process of testing this I did realize that the import is not labeled correctly. When you export a "wi-scan" file from netstumbler it does not have all the information I need to import the file. Vistumbler actually expects a netstumbler "Summary" export file, which contains more data.

Please keep in mind that netstumbler support is very rough ;-).
