Just a warning to those of you using Dissolver (version 10), it is broken - so the dissolved output is "inversed" in overlapping areas. using the old Dissolver (version 8). is OK. Thats for any geometry (even simple bounding boxes).

 

 

As a side note a thing to consider at Safe might be adding an "auto-update" procedure in all versions (even BETAs). This way it would be possible for Safe to notify an individual installation at runtime and give a pop-up with for instance the following:

 

 

"There is a newer version of FME available. Critical fixes includes:

 

- Error in Dissolver: fixed

 

- Bufferer: fixed

 

 

For other improvements look at

Do you want to update to this new version?

 

"

 

 

Of course you would need to only update the required modules (not a complete install) - however it would be very easy for you to publish crucial updates.
