OpenCPN Version 2.2 Beta Test

Cagney, Idpnd, et al...

Any PlugIn may choose to add tools to the toolbar, and/or tabs to the Toolbox. The API is available now.

I chose to use the old familiar interface to the GRIB PlugIn partially as an exercise to validate the PlugIn API, and partially to preserve the current GUI.

There is no reason that the other 2 useful PlugIns (Dashboard and Celestial) do not currently employ tools and toolbox tabs, except that the authors have not (yet) done so. I expect Dashboard to have a significant Toolbox tab, for configuring the gauges, and possibly a (selectable, as on GRIB) toolbar icon for showing/hiding the dashboard quickly. At least, this would be consistent.

OTOH, idpnd has shown another way of configuring PlugIns. This is interesting.

I'd welcome comment from users regarding these two somewhat exclusive methods of managing PlugIns. We can do whatever we want, here....

Thanks
Dave

Hi testers!

I have updated the Dashboard and Celestial Navigation PlugIns in the git repository.

This update reflects all the most recent code changes and additions by the respective PlugIn authors.

Testing appreciated, with bugs and comments in the appropriate threads.

Thanks

Hello all i18n-ers...

I have today updated the .PO template file opencpn.pot in the git repository.

Interested translators may fetch this file and check their .po language files. There have been some new translatable strings added.

Please email new .po files to me directly for incorporation into the repository and the next build.

Thanks
Dave

Hellop Dave, Bonjour,


I was able to load a version of .po in French for 2.2-823 and add the complementary translations.

I noticed that in toolbox/Language/Textelement, the items are display in English and in French.

Cordialement

J'ai pu charger une version du .po en français et ajouter les traductions complémentaires.

J'ai remarqué que dans la boite à outils, onglet Language, dans la zone du choix des polices dfe caractères, les items s'affichent en Anglais et en Français.

Ci joint copie d'écran.

Been rather happy with 2.2, I just keep getting this message in terminal (linux, using AIS B transponder & shared GPS input)

** (opencpn:21145): WARNING **: IPP request failed with status 1280

Best regards

Edit: this looks like a generic python bug message

I don't know if this is a known/fixed issue. On v 2.2.808, if I try to print to any of the options (pdf, printer, etc) it hangs on 100% CPU usage. (debian/lenny)

I haven't heard of this one before. No problem on Kubuntu 10.04 & build 823. Tested with print to file.

I uploaded 2.2.823 and I get the same. If I run strace, I get what looks like an infinite loop:

mremap(0x93494000, 501538816, 501542912, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0x93494000
mremap(0x93494000, 501542912, 501547008, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0x93494000
mremap(0x93494000, 501547008, 501551104, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0x93494000
mremap(0x93494000, 501551104, 501555200, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0x93494000
mremap(0x93494000, 501555200, 501559296, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0x93494000
mremap(0x93494000, 501559296, 501563392, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0x93494000
mremap(0x93494000, 501563392, 501567488, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0x93494000
mremap(0x93494000, 501567488, 501571584, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0x93494000
mremap(0x93494000, 501571584, 501575680, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0x93494000
mremap(0x93494000, 501575680, 501579776, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0x93494000
mremap(0x93494000, 501579776, 501583872, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0x93494000
mremap(0x93494000, 501583872, 501587968, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0x93494000
mremap(0x93494000, 501587968, 501592064, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0x93494000
mremap(0x93494000, 501592064, 501596160, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0x93494000

My setup is rather normal, Debian Lenny, up to date, with a CUPS postscript printer. Seems like a memory leak somewhere, not necessarily within opencpn.

I'm running 2.2.833 and was building a route in S Florida. Everything is ok I'm about to make my turn into Lake WOrth inlet, I select the next larger scale chart and all hell breaks loose. The selected chart is OK but the entire chart context is rotated 90 deg this includes the route. Quilting is not selected nor course up, although they have been some time in the past. I have captured the screens but don't seem to be able to paste them here. The charts display properly in Seaclear. Restart - no help.
Deleting route and importing it no help. I can email the screen shots.

wdkester....

Please do mail the screen shots to me. Address in Help->Authors

Thanks
Dave

I'm assuming that you mean the stickey "help" thread??? I searched it for "authors" no joy, so I , for the first time uploaded pics and voila:

[bdbcat]

wdkester.....

Sorry for the unclarity. I meant Help->Authors in OpenCPN application.

Anyway, you succeeded in uploading to forum. Thanks.

So, the Aha moment.
The chart selected is a skewed (i.e. not North-up) presentation. Note the little red "skewed" rectangle in the chart selector box. But it sure looks like a north-up to me. Something odd going on here.

So, what is that chart? Can you tell us the file name for it? Where it comes from? Maybe we can reproduce the error.

Thanks
Dave
