CHIRP

I have noticed likely unintended channel programming behavior on a Wouxun UV9D Plus and UV9P (both using the UV9D Plus profile)

It appears that Chirp is unable to add or delete channels, only to modify already programmed ones on the radio. The attached image illustrates further.

• An existing channel can be modified with chirp programming (ie its frequency, channel name, tone etc.) OK
• An unassigned channel on the radio will not be created even if it is present in the chirp file. FAIL
• An assigned channel on the radio will not be deleted even if is not assigned in the chirp file. FAIL

No errors are generated by Chirp or the radio during "Upload to Radio".

Equipment used:
Chirp Mac Daily 20200909
Macbook pro Mojave 10.14.6
Wouxun UV9D-Plus and UV9P (programmed using the same image derived from the UV9D-Plus)

I do not know whether this is related at all, but for reference I have noticed this in the chirp debug.log:¶

*****/CHIRP.app/Contents/Resources/chirp/chirp/platform.py:142: GtkWarning: Cannot open pixbuf loader module file '/usr/local/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache': No such file or directory

This likely means that your installation is broken.
Try running the command
gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders > /usr/local/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache
to make things work again for the time being.

I did previously run the "KK7DS Python runtime" installer. But it appears to have installed into "/opt" instead of "/usr":
$ ls -la /opt/kk7ds/

I do not know whether this is related, unrelated or irrelevant. No error messages appeared during the Python runtime installation or in the chirp UI when chirp starts.
