Perhaps we should split the "display size-touch panel" linkage if there is some demand. But right now we are focused on getting touch interface working smoothly and intuitively on tablet sized devices.

That's understood. Bigger screens as well as higher resolutions (the upcoming 4K stuff or retina in the MAC world) will require a different approach like icon sets of adopted size.

Given the experimental character of the touch interface, you might perhaps a open a dedicated thread?

Hello Dave,

Very old little problem not solved.

Route manager, tracks manager, waypoint manager and (now) Layer manager.

A window opens to verify that wants to remove a road, track, waypoint or layer, speaks half in French and half in English. (same problem with other language)

The items "Yes" and "No" are not translated because these two items have disappeared long ago, the pot file.


Here join a screen copy for example.

Best regards, Gilletarom.

Gilletarom,

language support has several issues.

One of it is that the standard wxWidgets mo files was never used. These files are called wxstd.mo and are supplied in several languages with wxWidgets.

Another issue never solved is the fact that same english strings with different meaning in different plugins mo files or main mo files gives a mismatch.

Because there are so many plugins now it is sometimes also needed to declare the right language file several times in the code.

One of the reasons I make my own genuine german version.

Hubert,
please don't forget wxWidgets has limited features. So to support Retina display on Macs will be a great task. I have explained it here:

crash when displayed on the map screen ENC S-57

[bcn]

Baikal,

which charts? Standard S-57 are working for me?

bcn

[Baikal]

Conventional ENC standard S-57 3.1
.000
With files inland ENC same

[bcn]

testing with Inland under W7 as well - no crash...
Can you send a crash report to Dave, please?

Maybe we could just make the icon size variable? Larger icons are needed for touchscreens and high pixel density generally, but also the individual user may prefer a different size.

Yes, and SVG based would be great as scaling is then a none issue. But does wxWidget give that option? And what about rendering of chart symbols?

[Baikal]

Error reading S-57 found
Everything works fine!

[bcn]

Baikal, the error, what has it been?

[bcn]

Dave,

might it be that the default width for tracks went up from 2px to 3px as well?

I made changes to the files in the folder s57 data
completely uninstall all the signs of the previous beta CPN on PC
Charts are read normally.

Baikal...

We should not crash, even with bad or poorly formatted S57 ENC cells and transfer sets. We should just report errors, and maybe fail to render.

More details, please...

Thanks
Dave
