OpenCPN & W11 - Save settings?

Hallo Werte Community – das ist mein allerster Post.
Ich benutze OpenCPN Version 5.10.2-0 unter W11. Das Programm funktioniert zu 99% perfekt. Leider werden meine Programm Einstellungen (z.B. die Schnellstart-Leiste) und Farbeinstellung (z.B. Tag) nicht gespeichert. Nach jedem Programm Neustart sind wieder die „alten“ Einstellungen vorhanden. Wo kann ich diese Einstellungen ggf. in eine Konfigurationsdatei speichern? In der Hilfe steht, es soll eine CONFIG Datei geben – jedoch nicht unter W11. Ich bitte um Eure Hinweise. Tausend DANK

“Hello dear community – this is my very first post.
I'm using OpenCPN version 5.10.2-0 under W11. The program works 99% perfectly. Unfortunately, my program settings (e.g. the quick launch bar) and color settings (e.g. day) are not saved. After each program restart, the "old" settings are available again. Where can I save these settings in a configuration file, if any? The help says there should be a CONFIG file – but not under W11. I ask for your hints. A thousand THANKS”

Die CONFIG Datei heisst unter Windows config.ini
Zugang über den "Hilfe" Button, "?".

Ist zufällig InlandECDIS aktiviert? Dann geht es nämlich per Definition mit dem Nachtmodus los.

Ps. In diesem Forum bitte auf Englisch, das bringt schneller was....

Is InlandECDIS enabled by any chance? Then, by definition, the night mode starts.

Ps. In this forum please in English, that brings a faster response....

re: OpenCPN & W11 -Einstellungen speichern?

Hallo und vielen Dank für ihre schnelle Antwort. Jetzt habe ich es gefunden. Ohne ihre Hilfe hätte ich es wirklich niemals gefunden. Danke. Ich nutze sowohl die ENC- und O-Charts. beides funktioniert tadellos. Ja, Inland ECDIS war eingeschaltet.������

Ich habe noch eine zweite Frage: ich habe gesehen, dass der ENC ChartCataloge für Deutschland teilweise nicht mehr aktuell ist (Fehlermeldung: nicht erreichbar). Ich habe mir am Wochenende die einzelnen Kartenseiten herausgesucht, sowohl vom Wasserschifffahrtsamt in Deutschland und in Polen. Gibt es einen Moderator, dien man darauf hinweisen kann, das gegebenenfalls diese Downloads Files zu aktualisieren sind? vielleicht können Sie mir dazu helfen tausend Dank.

Meine letzte Frage: ich nutze aktiv die NMEA2000 Schnittstelle, es funktioniert alles hervorragend. Nutzen Sie auch Radardaten des Netzwerkes? Wie sind die Erfahrung damit? Danke!

Ich nutze seit vielen Jahren Garmin Software. Ich habe OpenCPN erst vor drei Jahren entdeckt, und nutze es parallel über einen Laptop. Ich bin sehr begeistert, so dass ich zum Jahresende ordentlich Gespendet habe. Fantastisch, dass es so eine Software gibt!����

Hello and thank you for your quick response. Now I have found it. Without this help, I really would never have found it. Thank you. I use both the ENC and O charts. Both work perfectly. Yes, Inland ECDIS was involved. ������

I have a second question: I have seen that the ENC ChartCataloge for Germany is partly no longer up-to-date (error message: not available). I picked out the individual map pages over the weekend, both from the Waterways Office in Germany and in Poland. Is there a moderator who can be pointed out that these downloads files have to be updated if necessary? perhaps you can help me to do so, thank you a thousand times.

My last question: I actively use the NMEA2000 interface, everything works great. Do you also use radar data from the network? What is the experience with it? Thank you!

I have been using Garmin software for many years. I discovered OpenCPN only three years ago, and I use it in parallel via a laptop. I am very enthusiastic, so I donated a lot at the end of the year. It's fantastic that such software exists! ����

Hi Wasserrad_2025

Welcome to Cruisers Forum .
I have translated your posts using Bing and added this in blue.

If you post in English it avoids posts being deleted, and as bcn pointed out, you are also far more likely to get a swift response.

Although English is the forum’s language, perfect spelling and grammar are not expected so please do not hesitate to take part here.
