[las_users] Categories.xml file in LAS 7.2

["Oots, Penny C. (LARC-E301)[SCIENCE SYSTEMS AND APPLICATIONS, INC]" <penny.c.oots@xxxxxxxx>]

After copying the categories.xml file used with LAS classic 7.0 interface to the new LAS 7.2 installation, several dataset categories are missing using LAS 7.2.  For instance, there are 7 top level categories but the 6^th category does not display any files when clicked.

 

In addition, the first category, has eight subcategories but one of them only displays one subcategory (which then has 2 subcategories).   An additional category that should display on the same level with the category that has two subcategories does not display. 

 

Another top-level category displays one subcategory with its contents but not a second subcategory. 

 

There are several filters in each category and some of them may no longer match parameters but there is always at least one filter that does match a parameter.

 

Since this categories.xml file worked in the 7.0 version, can you provide any hints on how LAS 7.2 processes the categories.xml file differently?  Is there a log file with more info?  I attaching a copy of the categories.xml file that is being used for testing if anyone is brave enough to wade through it.
