UKTidalEvents Plugin

Compiled from Git on Linux and tested on 4.99.1517.

I get the error Download Failed, Are you connected to the Internet?
I'm definitely connected.......

Good idea. Yes, a print function could be added.

I was asked not to publish my personal API key. You would need to register with UKHO and get your own API key. Start here:

https://www.admiralty.co.uk/digital-...s/uk-tidal-api

Add the key in lines 111 and 223 on 'UKTidesgui_impl.cpp'.

If the icon is not working this should now be fixed in the 0.2.1 release and the GitHub master code (not the source.zip).

Git cloning UKTides (this morning in Europe) seems to download release 0.2 and not 0.2.1 (at least it is what it says in Options/Plugins).
The icon is still the green puzzle one...

It was a case of me not RTFM as you had documented the issue.
All well now and the global toolbar icon seems to be the right style for 4.99.

Thanks

I think you may have used 'sudo make install' which puts the plugin data in the folder 'usr/local/share/opencpn/plugins'. The OpenCPN 5 beta pkg from bdbcat is using 'usr/share/opencpn/plugins'. UKTides cannot find the icons.

For me the easiest way to install the plugin was to use 'sudo make package' and then install the package using gdebi package installer. This will put the plugin data (icons) in the folder 'usr/share/opencpn/plugins/UKTides_pi'. The deb file from the GitHub release would produce the same results.

v0.4 of UKTides has now been published.

https://github.com/Rasbats/UKTides_pi/releases/tag/v0.4

Windows installer and DEB package are available.

UKHO has given a free license to cache the data for 7 days. This is found using the menu item Locations->Saved. An XML file is used to save the information.

A right-click near the icon to obtain the tidal data does not work with locations saved. A table shows the information. Right-click to select the UK tidal station only works with the 'Download' locations.

French and Swedish translations now available! Thanks Gilletarom and Håkan.

v0.4 has been updated.

Hope this is right place to report this... getting reproducible crashes using UKTides with OCPN 5.2.4 on MacOS 10.15.7
(1) Download locations
(2) On chart do a cntl-click and select UK tidal station **that I have previously accessed/saved**
(3) OCPN crashes bad address/segmentation fault
libUKTides_pi.dylib 0x000000010e3a7fbc Dlg::getHWLW(std::__1::basic_string<char, std::__1::char_traits<char>, std::__1::allocator<char> >) + 4140
1 libUKTides_pi.dylib 0x000000010e3abc81 Dlg::getPort(double, double) + 449
2 org.opencpn 0x000000010396f8c3 CanvasMenuHandler::PopupMenuHandler(wxCommandEvent &) + 5411

Exactly the right place. Thanks Tony. I will take a look.

Testing with opencpn git master as of today....
I do get a crash when clicking the download button.
