Symptom:

When I open Seeker and go to the Results tab the list of available DAP or WMS servers have disappeared or is empty. 

 

Resolution:

  1. Open Windows Explorer and go to: C:\Program Files\Geosoft\Desktop Applications 9\csv.
    For pre-9.x versions: C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\Geosoft Inc\Seeker\settings
  2. Locate and rename the servers.xml file to servers_old.xml
  3. Close Seeker if open and restart it. 

Restarting Seeker after renaming the servers.xml should force the application to recreated the missing file restoring Seeker to the default list of DAP and WMS servers.  

Once completed, it is safe to delete the renamed servers_old.xml file. 

Note: additional servers can be added by clicking the Manage Server button in the top right corner of the Seeker Window.
