dKTaskManager is a tool for automated batch processing of S-57 (electronic navigational charts) and S-101 (new standard electronic navigational charts) files using dKart Editor and dKart S-101 Inspector applications.

1. Ensure dKart Editor is installed:

• dKart Editor (default: C:\Program Files (x86)\dKart Office\dKart Editor 3.6\ )
• dKart S-101 Inspector (default: C:\Program Files (x86)\dKart Office\dKart S101 Inspector 7.1\ )
• dKart Tokenizer (default: C:\Program Files\dKart Office\dKart Tokenizer 7.1\ )

2. Download or compile dKTaskManager.exe
3. Ensure config.json is located next to dKTaskManager.exe

Open config.json and verify tool paths:

Open command prompt and run one of the commands:

S-57 file processing:

Where:

• --input — folder with source files (may contain subfolders)
• --output — folder for saving results

⚠️ Important: If tools are installed in different directories, change the path values.

S-57 file processing using dKart Editor:

S-101 file verification using dKart S-101 Inspector:

Options:

• --makeReport — create verification reports
• --fc <path> — path to feature catalog file
• --testConfig <path> — path to test configuration file
• --testSet <set> — test set to execute

All optional parameters have default values from config.json . You can override them as needed

S-57 file tokenization using dKart Tokenizer:

Options:

• --rulesTokensToS57 <path> — rules for conversion Tokens to S-57
• --rulesS57ToTokens <path> — rules for conversion S-57 to Tokens
• --rulesTokensToS101 <path> — rules for conversion Tokens to S-101
• --fcTokens <path> — Tokens feature catalog
• --fcS101 <path> — S-101 feature catalog

All optional parameters have default values from config.json . You can override them as needed

Checks files, makes corrections, but requires manual confirmation for saving changes:

Checks, corrects and automatically saves all changes without confirmation prompts:

Adds XML report creation for verification:

Automatic correction + report generation:

Features:
⚠️ Warning: Without --apply option, application will request confirmation for saving changes

• Application makes corrections in memory but asks for confirmation before saving to file
• Operator can review all changes and decide whether to save or cancel
• Not suitable for automated batch processing
• Use for detailed control of correction process

After command execution, the following structure will be created in the output folder:

The utility automatically configures dKart Editor parameters in Windows registry before processing:

Registry path 1:

Set values:

• AutoFix_ConversionReadinessChecks = 1 — enable automatic fixing for conversion readiness checks
• AutoFix_Wrn0074 = 0 — disable auto-fix for warning 0074
• DeleteLinDepare = 0 — do not delete linear depare objects
• AutoFix_Wrn0362 = 0 — disable auto-fix for warning 0362
• AutoFix_Wrn2101 = 0 — disable auto-fix for warning 2101

💡 These settings can be modified in the registryKeys section of config.json

The utility returns the following codes:
0 — successful execution
1 — command not specified
2 — command not found
3 — missing required arguments
4 — input directory does not exist
5 — application not found
6 — failed to apply registry settings
7 — missing required argument
8 — missing output argument
9 — output directory creation error
10 — intermediate directory creation error
11 — file copy error
12 — logging initialization error
13 — input and output directories are the same
14 — output is a subfolder of input
15 — specified file does not exist (rules, catalogs)
16 — failed to get Inspector version
17 — Inspector version too old

These codes can be used in scripts for automation:

If problems occur:

1. Check error.log in output directory
2. Ensure config.json is correct (use JSON validator)
3. Verify dKart Editor path is correct
4. Ensure you have read/write permissions in specified directories

A: Yes, if they use different output folders. It's not recommended to process the same files simultaneously.

A: List of charts where new files were created after processing (e.g., .001, .002). This indicates that changes were made to the chart.

A: In config.json , registryKeys section. Settings are applied only during utility execution.

A: The utility automatically checks Inspector version and displays it in the console. Version must be 1.0.0 or higher.

A: Interactive mode requires manual confirmation for each file save, while automatic mode saves all changes without prompts.
