UI-Toolbar
HI, thanks for a new beta to stress
On WinXP and W7, OpenGL is activated:
The tool bar has a new behaviour never seen before. It might be connected to what's discussed here: http://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/...ml#post1706974
When OCPN is started the tool bar is opened without the leftmost icon. It's visible by a mouse-over action.
The WMM icon is not visible at all. It should be seen in the space to the right. The icon is, though invisible, well functional as well as the mouse-over hint text.

Attached pictures shows the start up UI for both standard and Journeman tool bars and the mouse-over result.
Also an activated tides icon is copied since it was earlier discussed.

OpenCPN.org is down this morning........

[bcn]

And back again at 11 UTC

But not yet with the 3.3.2424 beta!

Folks...

The 3.3.2424 Beta is not yet on opencpn.org.
In fact, the .org site seems temporarily busted....

So, here are some temporary links to the Beta images for Windows and Mac.

Meanwhile, the images are up on dropbox.

Enjoy

Merry Christmas to all,


XP, OpenGL On and Off

The WMM icon is missing even if when passing the mouse over the empty space I can read the its identification "variations magnétiques".

Running into an empty link....

Folks...

OK, a couple of things:

Xmas gremlins...

1. PlugIn icons in toolbar is broken on Windows. Yep.
2. opencpn.org is broken today.

Since only a few people have actually downloaded the Windows 3.3.2424 Beta from dropbox, and to save time, I deleted the dropbox image. I will fix the tool icon issue and re-upload to dropbox shortly. I will post a new link here.

Please note:

a) I will NOT update the Beta version number.
b) Source builders should pull from github as soon as I complete the fix.
c) Does not affect OS X at all.
d) Does not affect linux builds.

Sorry for the gremlins...but we'll fix it.

Dave

Ahoy...

Here is the new, revised link for the OpenCPN Beta 3.3.2424 Windows installer.

If you downloaded from dropbox earlier this morning, please download and install a fresh copy to correct toolbar issues.

Good Luck

3.3.2424 Win downloaded and installed

434. Implement four new Navionics non-standard S57 compatible objects.

Annotations manually enabled in Vector Charts (Mariners Standard) but no luck - ANNOTA texts in the Navionics S57/S63 still not visible.

ARMhf pulled from Git and looks ok - no S63 here of course

Dave..
New fetch including commit: "Correct NMEA $GPRTE message terminator........."
On WinXP:
WMM icon is now fixed and visible, but the leftmost icon in the tool bar is still not visible until a mouse-over event somewhere on the bar, as described and pictured in post #2.

On Win 8.1 the left most icon is drawn with a little delay - but appears without any further event/mouse movement.

Hubert..
Waiting was not a solution in XP but toggle another app and back made it visible.

Håkan...

Can you confirm that the left tool icon invisible problem on your XP is new with 3.3.2424? That is, its OK with 3.3.2410?

Thanks
Dave
