Beta 3.3.424 CM93 text handling bug. WIN32

There are occational text print failures for some _texto elements in CM93 charts. Please see attached pdf for describtion and illustrations.

I've been sailing with this version for a couple of days now without any other comments, so far.

Hakan...

Thanks for the catch. This is a real bug in github master. It happens when the correct printed object or place name is less than 6 characters. Simple fix, and will be in github master very soon.

And thanks for the fix. I pulled a new update an hour ago and now for example the name "Ven" is correct. Very good.

TCP input and output on same ip / port

First post so sorry if this has been asked before.

Trying to connect to opencpn with TCP for input and output on same ip and port, input being AIS data and output being autopilot. (due to a specific use)

This outputs fine but doesn't read the input.... i've looked in the code and it seems to suggest that you can only have a tcp connection that is either input or output but not both (a comment states this but also the code suggests this, OnServerSocketEvent only allows a connection). Can someone confirm this?

Also if this is the case, is this going to be modified in the future?

Many Thanks

fdart...
Yes. And of course a patch to change it is welcome. as well as one allowing multiple clients on the same port.

Ok, thanks Pavel.

I will have a look into whats required and see how much spare time i have.

Ver 3.3.424 git pull from May 30, hang report
> Win32,XP no OPENGL 1 G memory.
> When on my navigation laptop I try to open the route handling meny OCPN hangs or shall I call it wait for the hour glass. I have tried to be patient but after 30 minutes no change so I've to force OCPN down. It only affects OCPN not the rest of the PC system.
> It happens when using 3.3.424 but not on 3.2.2, everything else is equal. There are some rather extensive tracks witch could cause the hang-up?
> I don't happens using the same 3.3.424 version my other laptop but there are no tracks.
> The crash report function is deactivated as of Dave's advice from post Beta Test / Technical
> Please find zipped log, ini and navobj.xml attached.

If you want more data please revert.

Hakan...

The apparent hang is indeed caused by the large tracks in the navobj.xml file.
Clearly, there is more work to be done with large track support. We are discussing some related design issues on this topic, so the code is not yet complete.

If you need to see this track in 3.3.424, try to load it from a layer, and report results here. I think this will be much faster.

Thanks
Dave

Dave..
Ok, thanks. A few comments:
I see the tracks all the time no problem. The program runs fine, and open and close, with the track growing since close to two month. And there are some older visible tracks as well. It don't seem to disturb at all. It is only when I try to open the route window it hangs. And, again, there is a difference from 3.2.2. Using that version I can open the route window and make a copy or edit the track.

The library display the S-52 has inconsistencies and errors in the objects of obstacles.

Who is in charge of S-57, S-52?
Tell her in PM email I will send you maps and explanations

Probably not a big deal and could be related to the not having any real instruments connected but...

In Dashboard the "clock" title is being over written or truncated somehow. Instead of "Clock" it says "Suock" with a defined white line between the u and o. See attached.

Not on mine.

On mine the CLOCK is OK and in UTC. Windows 7, as I said previously the only problem I found with version 3.3.604 is the disappearing name of the route that I did created.

I am using W7 Ultimate and do not have a 'diappearing name'. When I create a route and open the Properties, I enter a name for the route. (I also rename the waypoints so they will be unique and not duplicate waypoints in other routes).

Exporting the route to a saved location automatically includes the name of the route I have given it.

If I delete the route from the screen and re-import it the route has the originally given name.

Is this what you are doing?
