Resize problem with new plan window |
| |
When a new plan document is created, it is displayed at the minimum size and various routines are not called until the window is resized or maximised. This has bad effects, especially on the FoV and Sky Charts. |
Developer Analysis |
Workaround: tweak the new plan windows size by a few pixels to force the resize routines to run. |

FOV does not change when selected object is changed; reticle rotation does not work. |
| |
When I opened APv2b85, M16 was selected. I went to FOV and M16 showed there. I tried to rotate the camera reticle, but it would not rotate. Refreshing the FOV did nothing.
I then selected another object, M29, and went to FOV. The header for FOV said M29, but the FOV still contained M16. Reticle rotation still did not work.
I tried a couple of other objects, but the FOV always showed M16. |

Jupiter and Uranus very close to each other; only one name shown |
|
| |
I noticed this morning about 3 am that Jupiter had risen, but when I looked on the Sky Chart, it read Uranus. However, when I moused over the planet, it said Jupiter (and Uranus, if I moved the mouse a bit). Maybe the name Jupiter was underneath Uranus. |
| Resolution |
Fixed. Labels in the Sky chart do a better job of avoiding overlap, where possible. |

Resizing plan window vs. FoV chart |
| |
If you resize the plan window from a tab other than FoV, then when you switch to the FoV tab, the chart doesn't update properly. |

Time and date are missing |
| |
The time and date info in the upper right corner show up at startup but then disappear |
Developer Analysis |
This is by design (the date/time widget is removed if there's not enough room for it), but is confusing. |

FOV Catalogue Not Displaying |
| |
When using the FOV tab the first time after starting the program the catalogue that I had chosen the previous execution is not staying. Is this designed behaviour. For example I have the Thyco II catalogue on and have the option to save the plan and say YES and the the program does it's save settings fine. If I then reopen the program which automatically reopens the previous plan and pick the previous item for FOV View, when I click the FOV tab the FOV opens but Thyco II is not check and it opens the FOV without it. |
Developer Analysis |
Workaround: Choose the Objects tab and then switch back to FoV tab. |

Switch off external catalogues when using FoV charts in a script |

Switch off external catalogues when using FoV charts in a script. They can cause unexpected results (e.g. downloading large quantities of data from on-line USNO B1.0). |

Imported observations not indicated in plan |
| |
When I export/import observations from my desktop/laptop to my laptop/desktop, and then open a plan that includes the objects observed, the imported observations don't show up, in either the Obs column on the Objects tab or in the list of observations on the observations tab. Indeed, if I create a new plan and add those observed objects to it, the observations still don't show up. If I open the observation database, they are there, however. |
Developer Analysis |
I forgot to update the the internal mechanism that associates observations with the same effective ID together (ID cross-reference). Workaround: Use the Reset Cross-References button in observation preferences. This might take a while. |

Printing no longer functions |

The printing system is printing a lot of stuff with "1:" and "0:" prefixed, does not honour the "Selected only" options, etc. |

I screwed this one up with the last release. Sorry. |

Trouble getting Guide Sensor Name & data to fill using the "Select from list" button |
|
| |
I am new user so I may not understand how this function is supposed to work. But, I was able to auto fill the Main sensor with the Select From List button (THANKS FOR INCLUDING THE QHY9). I then checked the Guide Sensor Name box and tried to use the Select From List button to auto fill the Imaging Source DMK21 as a guide camera which only seems to add it as another main sensor camera. I was able to manually fill in the data for the guide cameera and set the offset distance and all seems to show properly when reviewing the selected object in the Field of View Tab. |
Developer Analysis |
A valid concern, easily fixed... |
| Resolution |
Fixed. There's now a separate Select from List button if you want to select the guider sensor only. |

Plan Creation Wizard thread problem |
|
Windows only |
At startup there is still this time-consuming plan wizard thread. Even if nothing has changed in preferences/catalogues it seems to go to identical processes every time. Although I really appreciate the plan wizard feature, I rarely use it. Isn't it possible to have a possibility to skip the wizard thread except if you want to use it? I know I can uninstall many catalogues, but that would be a bit of a recurring hassle to me. |
| Resolution |
Fixed. Added options to Catalogue Manager preferences. Allowing you to control the "aggressiveness" of the catalogue processing (from Off to High) and the maximum size of catalogues that get processed. Best bet for low impact: Aggressiveness=Low, Size Cutoff = Small. |

FOV Print |

When printing from the FOV tab the legend at the bottom has the symbol for galaxies not lined up. All others are ok but the elipse for galaxies moves around |
Developer Analysis |
Happens if the FoV is rotated. |
| Resolution |
Fixed. Also fixed several other cosmetic problems with overlap, etc. |
