Quick test : parallel install, Ok

Dave,

Sorry, OCPN stopped with chartdownloader.

More exactly, I try to update Brazil charts. Then after updated catalog, I choice only "Select new". Exactly at this moment, crash.

Note : There is no crash report in opencpn initialization folder.

Here joined the endof my log file.

[Gilletarom]

Dave,

Just to add, about my previous post.

I reboot OCPN and chartdownloader no problem this time.

I remembered a detail of the first test with chartdownloader. Some of the items were in English and the other items were in French.
While in the second texts all items are listed in French.

Could this help explain the crash of the first test?

Other test :

After some time, I try to display brazil charts. Ok. But during this test, other crash.

See screen copy. perhaps this can help you.

[Gilletarom]

Dave,

An observation :

If we dezoom as much as possible, even on a fairly large screen, here tested with an empty "group of charts", we never have the whole earth from east to ovest.

Gilletarom,

the "not complete Earth" is not new, I believe. 4.4.0 with max. zoom attached

Hubert,

But it's good to ask the question again. Perhaps it is impossible to change this, but who knows?

[Gilletarom]

Dave,

I think that you have not updated the dashboard file language. I said this because the two new items are in English in the french version.

The S-63 plug-in crashes the beta. Same message as of Gilletarom above.
At the first view of a S-63 chart.
Disabling the pi avoids the crash.
The oeSENC pi is installed in parallel.

[bcn]

Is this the intended size of the buoyage direction?
This has been smaller earlier on I believe.

[Gilletarom]

Dave,

A strange little bug :
When I run OCPN :
- If I go to "Options/Display/Units", I have the first screen copy here join. The unit of deph is not present.
- If I add, meters, as units, then I have the second screen copy.

And, if I shutdown O, when I re-run O, I have the first screen copy. Note, that I change of language (FR to GB), it is same problem.

[Gilletarom]

Dave,

If WMM is activate, wecannot add manually the magnetic variation. Ok. (without shutdown O)
BUT
If I un-activzate the WMM plugin, it is same. We cannot add manually magnetic variation.

Oups .... I shutdown O and re-run O, and then, I can add manually the magnetic variation. Sorry ....

[CarCode]

Because of changes in GateKeeper of macOS Sierra only an experienced user is able to install it. But once done it crashes...

Gerhard...
Could you please post the crash report. Not crashing on 10.12.2 for me at all.

Thanks

Options->Display->Units->Bearings

With both true and magnetic are ticked, only magnetic course and bearing shows in an "AIS Target Query", while both true and magnetic are expected.

The text "WMM Plugin for magnetic variation", should be deleted, to make things clearer.
