Re: Feature Requests

It’s hard to make everyone happy. Many people use smallish displays and don’t like wide tables.

With regard to sorting, that may turn out to be harder than it would seem. The system is designed...

Re: Feature Requests

Adding to the previous post, OpenCPN is primarily a navigation tool. It tries to provides access to all navigation related data. Recent attempts to add things like engine data are a bit off from...

Re: Feature Requests

It seems the simplest solution would be to write a script that runs at system startup. Let the script wait in a loop until the Linux system clock has a date in this century. Then start OpenCPN....

Re: Feature Requests

For those looking for a global “hide marks/tracks” I have a question. Why are layers not able to solve this problem? Layers are the designed solution to the problem. So what doesn’t work in layers?

Re: using multiscreen

Are you using Windows or some other operating system?

Why do you use extended screen mode? Would it not make more sense to use duplicate screen mode? Then both screens would show the exact same...

Re: Feature Requests

Dashboard tactics uses the same persistent storage names and old Dashboard. But they are not 100% the same. So when you run tactics then return to dashboard your dashboard no longer looks the same. ...

Re: Feature Requests

Right now dashboard-tactics has conflicts with dashboard. You cannot enable both at the same time without strange things happening. I have been unsuccessful in convincing anyone this issue is an...

Re: Feature Requests

Dashboard-tactics is quite good. It should be recommended to anyone who thinks Dashboard isn’t good enough.

But for now they are in parallel paths. Until someone takes the challenge to integrate...

Re: OpenCPN 5.0 does not open my virtual COM port

Please learn how to use the VDR plugin. That is how you communicate such problems to others. A VDR file is just text containing NMEA sentences. There is a plugin (voyage data recorder) that can...

Re: Feature Requests

Antipole,

I agree with you that sending routes is a nice idea. The following isn’t meant to change your mind.

Users of iPads and Androids should also consider what is available today in the...

Re: Feature Requests

It may be a language issue so let me try to understand your question. I think what you are saying is that some other device is sending waypoint information to the autopilot. This is not a normal...

Re: Feature Requests

I see no reason not to add nautical metadata to the mbTiles database schema. It can be done so as to conflict with nothing and makes sense. Adding meta data to a description or name field makes no...

Re: Feature Requests

Ok, I understand.

Let’s take an example. What should happen on the depth display when no depth message is received for let’s say 1 minute?

Re: Feature Requests

LennartG,

Re: Feature Requests

Re: Feature Requests

Yes, a dedicated plug-in for engine data and other non-navigation related data sources (battery voltage, liquid levels, oil pressure, coolant temp, etc.) is the best idea.
