What graphics adapter does the machine have? Did you check if there is an update for the graphics drivers available?

That's exactly what I thought when I looked at the log but when we left the dock in Comox on the morning of the 7th I checked the wrench thingie to confirm that OGL was running. It was and the sluggish performance I referred to earlier was improved - it wasn't perfect IMHO but it was significantly better than it had been. Then about halfway across the Comox bar in a nasty chop the screen went blank which caused some immediate concern but fortunately it came back almost immediately. However, the performance at that point reverted to its previous sluggish level.

Presumably it is an NVIDIA graphics card and I found an updated driver for it last night. We're anchored for a few days now but we'll see what happens when we move again. The system is an HP Envy 23 touch screen all in one. I guess I could run it at anchor but I'm a power miser so I don't like doing that and we're in the middle of a pineapple express so we're not getting much solar assistance right now.

Thanks for your interest.

HI
When trying to connect a serial port and none is available the screen shot attached shows.

If you close with the red X "O" returns to the window showing underneath.

But if I click the close button on the window underneath, well "O" shuts down.

Depth units are set to feet.

On the Elizabeth River Just south of Portsmouth VA is the North and PBL Railroad Bridge. Do an object query on the bridge and you will see that VERCCL and VERCOP units are in meters. On the chart vertical clearance is displayed in feet and vertical open clearance is displayed in meters.

Bridges that use VERCLR and HORCLR are displayed properly.

I looked through the code and found what I think is causing this. I have reported it to the Flyspray tracker. I patched my build and this is what I see now.

Thanks Transmitterdan,
I can't see from your screen shot; but I'm assuming that on the chart the OPen height is in feet as well.

According to IHO S-57 / ENC - Object and Attribute Catalogue the VERCOP (141.7 ft) is the vertical clearance when open. VERCCL (5.9 ft) is the vertical clearance when closed. The dialog box shows both numbers.

What I meant was; "is VERCOP displayed in feet on the chart itself". I can see that the dialog box is now in feet.

Thanks for your help

No, VERCCL is shown only and it is in ft. I think that was intended as that would be the worst case.

If "De-cluttered text" is turned off then VERCOP is shown in ft.

VERCOP was originally shown as "clr op 43.2"; but it was in meters. Some (many?) lift bridges do not lift to 90 deg and therefor some boats might have clearance problems.

VERCOP should be displayed.

Is does display in feet after I changed my local code. "clr op" is displayed in ft. on my system if decluttered text is turned off. I have given the patch to flyspray.

I just got around to checking out 4.0 - and no go for my Snow Leopard Mac, as was commented upon early in the thread but then dropped. So let me restart, and perhaps move things a bit.

Snow Leopard (10.6.x) is the Mac equivalent of Win XP: it is clean, reliable, and just works well, so there is reluctance to leave it (about 20% of OS X installs IIRC). Lion (10.7.x) is the equivalent of Win Vista: it is half-baked and problematic - something to avoid. I believe Mountain Lion (10.8.x) is like Win7 in that it fixes the Lion issues and represents a good alternative.

Microsoft makes a lot of money from OS upgrades, so it is in their interest to offer updates if the hardware is powerful enough to handle it. Apple makes their money selling hardware so it is in their interest to NOT offer OS upgrades any longer than necessary, as a way to obsolete and force hardware purchases. So it is with my Core 2 Duo (64 bit) MacBook Pro - they chose not to support it with Mountain Lion, and I choose not to deal with the Lion mess, so like so many others I am using Snow Leopard (in spite of Apple's unwillingness to provide security updates, or OS upgrades to ML or above). In contrast, many Windows XP machines can be upgraded to Win7. This may not be a problem for many Mac fanbois, but there are a lot of us out there that think spending thousands on Apple's overpriced gear because they chose to pull support is absurd. YMMV.

So, I would like to see OCPN support Snow Leopard. I have built it in the past on this machine (the older carbon version of wx), and would be willing to give it a try again with cocoa. It is a bit of a struggle for me, so before I spend much time I would like to know if there are any changes to the program which would be known to be a problem (i.e. please help me avoid wasting time chasing a dead end). SL runs both 32 bit and 64 bit applications, so it is possible to build a "universal" 32/64 Intel binary - is there any reason to think that a 32-bit build is a problem (i.e. should I just stick to 64)?

Usually with OS X, binaries for older OS versions can be built by installing the appropriate SDK and selecting that as a target. Have the developers doing the Mac version tried the 10.6 SDK, or is it just an unknown at this point? Once the project is in Xcode it is pretty easy to change the target OS, and the SDK is readily available. Apple doesn't include SDKs for older OS versions, again as a way to force obsolescence, but they are available on the Apple Developer's website.

Any helpful comments appreciated...
