However, I can reproduce that your expression is listed multiple times. There seems to be an encoding problem caused by the "°" sign. I'm not yet sure where it comes from.

Oh yes, that would explain these weird symol which was included before the last "F" or the "°" for a hundred times. It was somehow ignored and I just deleted that inside PCC.

Meanwhile to restore the pictures I looked for that cc-res you mentioned. Did not find it. Instead there is this inu.ini besides the pcc2.ini. I was curious and opened it. The editor crashes instantly. Easy thing its about 6 MB. :D

The file is "lru.ini", "lru" standing for "last-recently used".

The problem is that PCC2 writes this file as Unicode (UTF-8), but reads it back as latin-1. This means that whenever it encounters a non-ASCII character, that one comes out different than before, making the list longer, and each iteration doubles or triples the special character. If you say it has 6 megabytes, you probably have opened and closed your PCC more often than I did. Like 20 times.

Thus, the only advice I can give is to not use special characters in search expressions / labels. If you insist in having a degree symbol, use 'Chr(176)'.

This is a testing version.
It may be incomplete, and have more bugs (or features) than the public live version at planetscentral.com.
