Logbook Konni for OpenCPN

[Gilletarom]

Hello Konni,

Crash report.

I have unistalled logbook with the unistaller sofware. And then I have re_installed the logbook.

After this I go in the preferences and I check the checkbox "Marche/Arrêt", (In english "Timer on/off")

And then, crash.

The last line in the opencpn.log file is :

"22:10:38: PlugInManager: Initializing PlugIn: C:\Program Files\OpenCPN\plugins/logbookkonni_pi.dll"

Hello Konni,

See join jpeg.

The title of this window is in english because this item is not in my po file. So, it was not in my last pot file.

Hello konni,

Sorry for this long post but I have see some problems.

I finally understood how the management of the crew watch. This confirmed to me what I feared. Many item were mistranslated in french language file. It will be necessary that the French language file is changed again. I apologize in advance

But I also found that the calculations automatically shifts are false.

An example:
I have 3 groups of sailors.
In group 1, there are two sailors: Name 1 and Name 4.
In group 2, there was only one sailor: Name 2.
In the last group, there is also one sailor: Name 3.

The first group of marine should begin its first watch to 01:00 hour.
I chose to have 3 watchs per group of sailors.
This makes the duration of 2 hours per watch of a group of sailors.

Schedules should be:
For group 1, in the first line:
1:00 ---> 3:00 and 7:00 -> 9:00 and 13:00 -> 15:00 and finally 19:00 -> 21:00
For group 2, in the third line:
3:00 -> 5:00 and 9:00 -> 11:00 then 15:00 - 5:00 p.m. ET last >> 21:00 -> 23:00
For group 3, in the fourth line:
5:00 -> 7:00 and 11:00 -> 13:00 then 17:00 -> 19:00 and finally 23:00 -> 1:00


Just look at the screenshot attached to see that this is wrong with the automatic calculation of watch

Hello Gilletarom,

lots of bugs you found. i wonder why i didn't get a reply about that earlier. There where a lot of previews out before i decided to switch to version no 1.0.

1. the exe-installer runs well in my test. all files are at their correct places.
2. in the grid i use the wxwigets library function 'wxGridCellAutoWrapStringEditor' to get multiple lines. this function normaly has to use the OS-depended strings, which is translated by the the OS. (compare the interval-dialog, rightclick in a field). it seems that the function doesn't use allways _("") to show a translated word (=delete is translated, only). to correct this i have to implement a lot of lines only to overwrite this. i think this will be corrected in future versions of wxwidgets.
3. same story as in 2, wxT() not changed to _().
   the gui-editor doesn't have a e.g. radiobutton to decide whether to translate the string or not. it's allways to no translate (=wxT()). i have to go through the code with the replace-dialog each time the gui is altered.
4. Big bug
   i spend the title-bar a string to show the timer-interval.
   at the time you check the timer there is no logbook and - bang.
   marchew told me this before, but i allways started the logbook before i go to options. thatswhy i didn't found the bug.
5. In watch i subtracted a minute to not overleap with next watch.
   this is of course not correct as startingvalue for the next watch
6. The frensh translation you send me was the pot-file not the po.

I correct this and upload it to sourceforge ASAP.

Hello,

i've updated the logbook to version 1.1 on sourceforge. it has the following corrections but not the new (individual) watchlist:

1. the big bug (crash) in options is fixed. when you start the timer the logbook pops up like before.
2. the date bug in maintenance/service (column 'If') is fixed. non-english users can now use this four date selections.
3. eleminated in non-english languages newlines in the columns of the grids shown by maintenance/service column 'If'.
4. the date bug in the logbook search dialog is fixed. same as under 2.
5. the watchlist is corrected. the minute is added for the starting value of a new watch.
6. crewlist has in the rightclick-menu two new options for sorting.
   wxWidgets hasn't distinguish between normal click (sort) and doubleclick (hide column) in the header.
7. Hydrometer is now Hygrometer
8. pot file is updated on sourceforge for translators

best regards,
konni

When I view the watch list in ODT the watch list doesn't have "Start 1. Watch" "End 1. Watch"...etc....

Is there a way to correct this?

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04

Hi, Konni,

The new version still cann't set Timer at special time every hour 00 10 etc.
Wish soon.

Thanks

Hello PDA1 and capt_wang,

to PDA 1:

1. you can alter a layout by clicking the 'E'-Button, in the dialog hit OK.
2. save immediatly this layout with a different name, to not override the existing layout.
3. make changes a shown in the pictures, my layouts are only a guess.
4. save the layout
5. in logbook click the ('R')eload-button, select your new layout
6. then click the 'view'-button
7. repeat the steps 3,4,6 for changes in your new layout

to capt_wang:
sorry i annouced that for ver. 1.1 but i had to correct the bugs first.
yesterday i started with a new (individual) watchlist, but your sugesstion isn't forgotten, it's on the TODO-list.


best regards,
konni

Hi Konni I understand that the language changes only in OPCN, but I do not want to use Italian, I much prefer English, however I do not like the American time format (I am Australian....).

Will it be possible to modify the code at some stage so that one can choose the time format or just get the plugin to copy the time format from the computer default?

i'll implement this functionality. at the moment i rewrite the crewlist/watch.
it'll take time, 'cause drag 'd drop between the grids won't work as expected and other things, too...
how it should look like - see image-

Hi Konni,

iit was a long time !!!

After i had tested your plugin on my boat i wondered if it's possible to add a shortcut in the toolbar to start and stop the plugin (particulary necessary if you want to activate the plugin with the time) like the VDR plugin.
It will be more friendly

Thanks' in advance
Pascal

Hello Konni,

EdelVoilier's post reminds me that I had to send a new version of the French language file for logBook.

Here it is.

But there is a tab in the "Logbook" called "Weather" and a column on this tab which is also called "Weather".

The tab deserves to be called "Météo" in French but the column should be called otherwise. However, this is the same item that is used twice. We therefore find it difficult to make a translation well built.

Gilletarom

Meteo sounds good to me as well, both in English and Italian.

[konni]

Hello Pascal, Gilletarom, Stefano,

i change the tab to 'Meteo' for better translations.

the start/stop option of the logbook
if i understand correct, you like to stop the events (like timer, change of guard...)
is it a good idea to give the logbook icon therefore a bullet, like
normal start, no events selected in options = green
with a selected event in options it changes to = red

a click on the icon with a red bullet stops all events and changes to green

with a red bullet (events are active) on shutdown OCPN a messagebox
asks to stop all events to avoid e.g. a timer at next startup.

what's your opinion about that ?

I' ve completly rewritten the watch and i'm looking for a beta-tester
before it can go 'into production' (Gilletarom you'll find the smallest bug).
Please send me your email-adress, my email is: konnibe at web.de
