Only thing to remember is one needs to restart the computer after uninstall/install to clear the old key values and see the new ones. Gplates 2 - really nice to be able to remember ones settings, including for symbology. Maybe you can add to remember things like background colour, graticule colours, etc too in a future release. Congratulations to the team who made all the improvements!

We may decide to have a bug-fix release though, but not sure as this stage. So currently (in 2.0) you can use a symbol file when 'not' reconstructing using topologies. However as soon as you select 'yes' for 'reconstruct using topologies' then the symbol disappears. Just to note for others reading this, a couple other bugs that have been fixed since 2.0 are: (1) setting the 'oldest age' to 0Ma, when using topologies to reconstruct, causes the 'youngest age' to be -1Ma (which causes GPlates to abort), (2) when visualising deformation strain accumulation, only integer values of the strain accumulation scale will work properly. Also note that, as mentioned in the release announcement, GPlates 2.0 supports NetCDF-3 (but not NetCDF-4). To convert to NetCDF-3 you can use the 'nccopy' executable (that comes with NetCDF). For example, "nccopy -k 1 netcdf_4.nc netcdf_3.nc". This affects importing rasters and 3D scalar fields into GPlates.

It will essentially use the existing pyGPlates function 'synchronise_crossovers()': http://www.gplates.org/docs/pygplates/generated/pygplates.synchronise_crossovers.html ...which iteratively adjusts all crossovers until they're synchronised. Attached is a script (really just a thin command-line wrapper around the above function) for fixing crossovers. To see the command-line options type "python fix_crossovers.py --help". An example usage is "python fix_crossovers.py -x -c 0.01 -- rotations1.rot rotations2.rot". The "0.01" is a threshold (in degrees) - where the old and young rotations at a crossover are only fixed if their rotation (latitude, longitude or angle) differ by more than this. This is useful since some PLATES rotation files are only accurate to 2 decimal places.
