Re: SAR Plugin

v4.2.3-Alpha is in Cloudsmith.

For two unit searches with a single .gpx file I have removed the option of charting those patterns. They will need to be imported, when you will see the two routes appear in Route Manager. A message advising this will be seen.

Corsair63 ...
Please can you see if this stops the crash.

Re: SAR Plugin

Hi Rasbat,

updated to 4.2.3

working with no crash, as you say creates routes that can be imported via route manager.

It seems that version 4.2.3 does not install correctly by importing the plugin file. See the screenshots.

Re: SAR Plugin

Ok ... this is due to methods introduced in OpenCPN 4.9.x. It does not affect the functionality of the plugin. Some additions need making.

Ok.

Question : Why this blue area in the SAR window ? It is present only in parallel





Oups : Crash when I test track parallel track ......

if you extend horizontally the windows a little the graphic and the text are shown correctly, it seems a little cosmetic bug about windows size.

Hello Mike,

Indeed, by enlarging the window, everything seems to be in order regarding the appearance of the SAR plugin window.

That said, I persist and sign, after setting up a search starting point and filling in the requested data, OpenCPN crashes when I click the "Calculate" button.

I expected, when I use, in the main menu of OpenCPN, the item which allows you to create a CSP, that an icon would appear at this point. This is not the case. Maybe this is normal, maybe not... So, ?????

Thanks G. Good that all the options are being tested. I missed this one. Tomorrow, I hope.

Re: SAR Plugin

v4.2.4-Alpha is now in Cloudsmith. Calculate is fixed and also the images should expand without adjusting the dialog window.

Despite updating I am unable to show the version number correctly. An issue has been raised for the ShipDriver template.

- Calculate is fixed : Ok but ....
- the images should expand without adjusting the dialog window : Not Ok.

That said, certainly, my attempt to obtain a "parallel" search route was successful.

But, I told myself that for an untrained person, you have to feel your way to get there. And when you have to search for a man overboard or a boat in difficulty, you don't have time to fumble around.

Indeed, after entering the required data, after entering the coordinates of the CSP, I clicked on "Calculate" and.... Nothing changed.....

I had to check the "Add to route manager" box AND then click on the "Generate GPX" button to see the correctly documented route appear on the screen.


Do I understand that this version of SAR is intended, in practice, to be used only by trained people who are part of the crew of SEA RESCUE BOATS searching at sea?

- I tried with the square search method, same comment as for the parallel search method.

- I tried with the 3rd method, search by sector, I saw a window appear which said that it was not possible to set up the route and that I had to import this route separately .

Which I did for both IAMSAR and USCG. These two situations also require training as a maritime search specialist.


More : The item "Two unit routes cannot be drawn. Please, import the GPX." is in English. It is not in the Crowdin. So not translated. So ????


"Two unit routes cannot be drawn" : How to understand the beginning of this item?

Re: SAR Plugin

G ...

Good points.

#1 SaltyPaws built in the Calculate function. The idea was to calculate the time to conduct a search with a particular pattern. Should this button be removed? Or renamed e.g. "Time for search"?

#2 "Two unit routes cannot be drawn"
At the moment I do not parse the xml of the .gpx for patterns involving two ships or two cycles into two routes that can be added to the route manager. Let me have another look at this.

#3 The dialog images. I cannot reproduce this on my machine. After closing and the opening the dialog again the window expands to show the image and buttons correctly.(Windows 10, OpenCPN 5.8.4 and 5.9.0.

#4 Only for professionals. No.
Ask yourself how you would conduct a search for a crew member who had fallen overboard or had been given the location of a casualty and the person/casualty cannot be seen. You are probably not going to use an IAMSAR pattern but the expanding square or oil rig search may be useful. You can plot the pattern and monitor the area covered by the search as it continues.

We must reduce the time taken to prepare the research, while still obtaining a good quality route.

Therefore, an occasional user should not risk forgetting to make this or that setting.

So :
- let's not waste time with the current "Calculate" button.
- Let's do the calculations automatically by causing the creation of the GPX and the RTZ file as soon as all the useful data is entered with display of the route on the screen and also automatic loading of the route in the route manager.

And this for the 4 types of search models.

But I understood that professionals ask specific things. So, they must be satisfied for OpenCPN to be installed on these professionals' boats.

Hi Mike,

such behavior uses to happens in HDPI screens, in my computers with 1920*1080 pixel doesn't happens and the display of the windows is correct, but in my Surface (2880*1920) with higher resolution happens and only extending horizontally a bit the window is correct.

attached three screenshots.
one in normal computer resolution just opened 1080.
second just clicked on SAR icon in HDPI screen (Surface 2882*1920)
third same as above just extended a bit horizontally the window.

all computer with windows 11 (x64 & ARM64) and O 5.9.0
