KML Overlay Plugin

[boraxtr]

Hi Jean
Why Turkish translation of KML plugin does not work even installed into the same folder with other po files?

[SethDart]

Looks like cmake must be run again after adding a new po file.

1. mv TRkmloverlay_pi.po.doc plugins/kmloverlay_pi/po/tr_TR.po
2. cd build/
3. cmake ../
4. make
5. sudo make install

at step 4, you should see something like:
[ xx%] kmloverlay-i18n [tr_TR]: Created mo file

Now you can change language to Turkish and see translated messages.

Does it work?

Regards,
Jean-Eudes

Sorry, these all are Chinese for me

I can translate and just drag the po file into the shared folder only ...

Sorry, these are command line prompts ;-)

Let me rephrase it:
1. copy TRkmloverlay_pi.po.doc to plugins/kmloverlay_pi/po/ and rename it to tr_TR.po
2. run cmake again for the project to catch up the changes
3. rebuild the solution

Is it more clear?

[boraxtr]

Jean, here is what I did:
1- Dragged the kmloverlay_pi/po file into plugin folder,
2- Renamed the po file as tr_TR.po then saved, tr_TR.mo file created.
3- Moved this tr_TR.mo flile into share/local/tr_TR folder (where all the translated mo files are)

But nothing changed.

[SethDart]

Well, I'm confused... I described the whole installation process.

If you only want to add this language file to existing installation, then you only need to copy your xxx.mo file to share/local/tr_TR and rename it to opencpn-kmloverlay_pi.mo and it should work.

[boraxtr]

Good, after I renamed mo file as "opencpn-kmloverlay_pi.mo" worked.
Before it was named as "kmloverlay_pi.mo" then "tr_TR.mo".
Thank you Jean.

Thanks guys, as I'm developing my own plugin i got in the habit of doing:

$ cmake --build .

Which is only building files it already knew about...as soon as I did

$ cmake ../

It picked up the new plugin..

Thanks...

There is no special tracker for the KML plugin so here you go:
The KML plugin needs a small adjustment to be streamlined with the other plugins. Pressing the KML icon a second time in the ToolBar should close down the plugin.

For machines where the KML Overlay plugin will not load.

A messy workaround. Install Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition for C++. No need to register (I think!).

Visual Studio 2008 Express | Microsoft Visual Studio

Use the Visual C++ link.

A lot of SDK stuff etc to clutter your machine.

The only dll needed in the OpenCPN main program folder should be 'libexpat.dll'.

Jean ... have you recompiled any of the components used to make your plugin with VC10?

Best regards,

Mike

Hello SethDart,

I try another KML overlay with this file : kmloverlay-test_pi.dll

But it was necessary to use zlib1.dll AND libexpat.dll

So using your kmz file herm.kmz, it is Ok with your last pot file and my last french language po file.

Obviously, I adapt the language file name it is called thus: opencpn-kmloverlay-test_pi.po

See it on OpenCPN Internationalization ( i18n ) thead.
I repeat again the idea that I had already sent in a older post. It would be nice if in the preferences, there was a slider to manually change the transparency rate.

Another idea: This small window remains on the screen is annoying. If we could store ...

Best regards

Gilletarom.

Yes, obviously, as said in the post.

Well, you could've renamed the dll. I released it as a test. I had to rebuild the whole tools: libkml, expat and switch from embedded zlib/minizip to external library. To my knowledge, that made it work on the windows version that failed before (side-by-side fail)

Then read again my reply about that.

What are you speaking about? The replay window? You're asking to remove the only thing that allow you to control the replay (and by the way, know that you're replaying data) No comment, I don't want to be rude!

Hi,
Paul released the new version of GE2KAP (V10.0.013) kmz/kap file creator today. With the new version, one may create upto 64 pieces of kmz/kap maps within the same time for tiling. However KML plugin permits to load only one kmz file at once. That means one must repeat the same "clicks" 64 times to get detailed kmz maps.
If possible, please permit to load several kmz files within the same time while using kml plugin.
I also attached the emails between me and Paul on this subject may clear the subject.
Many thanks in advance,
Hasan

There are kmz files available for all current tropical systems. In O they looks like this


For the current North Atlantic situation : NHC GIS Archive - Tropical Cyclone Advisory Forecast

For the Pacific and Indian Ocean: Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC)

Is the KML plugin still supported? It doesn't seem to do anything on OpenCPN version 3.3.2118. You can enable it and see the plugin window but if you load a kml file nothing shows.

Spoke too soon it does work with a kmz file.
