Importing list from Skytools 4 to Skysafari brings only half

[easywolf32]

Hello,

I noticed something weird last night, I'll make a list on Skytools 4 of about 300 objects in a constellation. Than when I transfer them over to Skysafari Pro 6, about half the list will only be added.
I always thought it would say unrecognized object for any object added that was not recognizable. Instead, I notice 1-2 unrecognizable ones per list and all the rest aren't there. I noticed 
SKytools 4 has different RA/DEC numbers. They are always off by a minute or so. Or perhaps Skysafari's are off, not sure. There's seem to be on date numbers, while Skyttols 4 are J2000 numbers, perhaps that's the issue? In the SKysafari app precession options I have current epoch turned on, says 2000 right underneath. Include nutation, aberration, proper motion, light time are not turned on, dynamic time and refraction are turned on. 
 
No idea what's causing this. On some of these lists even the Berkeley objects won't appear. If I search for Berkeley though, it will appear on skysafari. I don't know, weird.

Hello,

Does the file that SkyTools create have all of the objects in it? If so, then the problem is more likely in Skysafari.

Regarding the coordinates, there are many different conventions, such as the equinox, and it isn't uncommon for them to not match perfectly.

Hi, I saved a file in text format so I can look inside and everything seems perfect there. All are inside.
Someone in the cloudy nights forum replied: "it will be due to the different naming conventions in the two programs so SkySafari does not recognise the name SkyTools has given it. This is a comon problem."

It'll be a ton of work to transfer everything there it seems..........Perhaps it's the supplementary objects that cannot be added, I dunno, some seem they are some not, not sure. If you want me to verify anything let me know.

It should tell you if it doesn't recognize an object. So that may not be the entire problem. I have done what I can, within reason, to put designations in the output file in formats that are commonly recognized. But people don't always use common sense, like dropping spaces or adding dashes that don't conform with the original catalog. There is only so much I can do, especially for the unusual catalogs. As far as supplemental database objects, this is a matter of what the person who created the object entered as the designation. You could just edit the designations.

I hate to pass the buck, but all of this seems to be more of a Skysafari issue than a SkyTools one. Have you tried asking them about it?
