SAR Plugin

[bcn]

Mike...

does install under macOS, but first there are two entries. The first one does not give any option.
After cycling the Option menu, things are ok, only the plug-in was not enabled.
Now the PI shows up in the tool bar - however with the default icon.
Cycling OpenCPN will bring up the icon on a different position in the tool bar.
Default icon. Running...

Thanks Hubert...

Yes, I saw something similar on Windows. On Win 8.1 I uninstalled the managed version and then re-installed it from the list. This cleared out the old version SAR 2.6 line and just left the managed plugin line, with the correct icon. I will test on my Mac Mini tomorrow.

I still need to fix the translations. Only English showing at the moment.

Hubert...

I think you have an old copy of SAR in the contents of OpenCPN. To remove the old plugin use Finder. With 'Applications', 'right-click' on OpenCPN and use 'Show Package Contents'. I found the folder 'Plugins' and 'libsar_pi.dylib' was in that folder. Deleted 'libsar_pi.dylib' and installed the managed version of SAR.

Using only managed plugins I have the four core plugins in the package contents. 'libsar_pi.dylib' is now in '/Users/parklands/Library/Application Support/OpenCPN/Contents/PlugIns'.

Managed plugin fails on a spelling error in the download for arm64:

WARNING Downloader.cpp:84 Failed to get 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/opencpn/sar-prod/raw/names/sar_pi-2.6.17.0-ubuntu-arm64-18.04-bionic-armh64-tarball/versions/v2.6.17-opencpn/sar_pi-2.6.17.0-ubuntu-arm64-18.04-bionic-armh64.tar.gz' [The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found]

Github version works, now I only have to learn how to use it.

Could you try using the managed plugins again. I have pushed v2.6.19 to Cloudsmith and this includes the armh64 package. No changes to the plugin, only the version number.

Sorry... this is not going to work until I make a pull request to get the updated version into the plugin catalog.

The catalog has been updated.

Would appreciate a test for your system.

The manual is being edited:

A work in progress!

I already got the simple patterns drawn with the sar-plugin.


But now I can confirm that it works from the pluginmanager on ARM64 Ubuntu 18.04.
If I'm correct this should also work on Raspbian Buster since it's the same underlying system.

[Rasbats]

hreuver...

Appreciate the feedback. Yes, there is a package for Raspbian 'buster'.

During the updates to SAR I have lost some translations. Håkan has posted a new POT file on Crowdin. Would appreciate it if translators could take a look at their work and fill in any gaps.

Thanks in advance.

It is Done

[Rasbats]

Thanks for the translations.

Updating to v2.6.20.0 will use your language.

I will try it as soon as possible. Good work.

Great plugin, I use it for creating survey lines.

Is there a way to get the units in metric (meters or kilometers)?

[Rasbats]

Version for metres is here:

http://www.mikerossiter.co.uk/site/O...0-win32.tar.gz

Conversion of 1NM = 1852m used. Use 'import plugin'. Be aware that this version is not for SAR use. Uninstall/Reinstall to revert to the original catalog version.
