OpenCPN Version 4.8.0 Released - Page 14 - Cruisers & Sailing Forums
and Titaantje had asked for help before him.

So you ask :

"1. Do you want to remove the modified support for the plugin? EG. [windows: c: / programdata / opencpn / plugins / plugin_name] It will be reset when you install the plugin again."

Yes

and you ask also:
"2. Do you want to remove the default settings plugin [opencpn.ini file]? - They will be reintialized when you install the plugin again."

Yes.

Gille, yes the plugin UNINSTALL should ask those questions, but most of the time I do not want to have to setup all my user settings and loose all my routings in Weather_routing, etc. ---So those questions MUST be asked In My Humble Opinion.

I would be very "ticked" if every time I updated weather_routing, I would have to re-enter all configurations, my boats polars and myboat.xml files, etc.

Only a new user would not care about wiping the slate clean.

Hi,
Modifying the uninstall process would take quite a bit of time and the generation of more special code. I have come at the problem from another direction. I have added a button on the 'General' tab of the OD preferences dialog. This allows you to delete ALL OD settings (those that are in the '[Settings/ocpn_draw_pi]' when OCPN is closed down. When OCPN is restarted and if OD is enabled this section will be created as if you had just installed OD for the first time. The 'delete' of the section only occurs at OCPN shutdown, which must be clean, so that if you decide you really didn't want to delete the section you can undo your action.

This change is available in patch 1.4.46.

Regards
Jon

Hi Gilletarom,
Patch 1.4.47 should fix this issue over a normal restart of OCPN. The visibility was maintained over the restart but it was not honoured when the boundary was created, hence the points showing when you had selected not to show them. You would have noticed that the properties dialog showed that the icons should have been hidden even though they were not. Hopefully you have not lost too much work.

Regards
Jon

When I started OpenCPN, all the marks were visible around the boundary.
So I spent a long time masking the marks of my many boundaries. Then, I closed OpenCPN.

When I open OpenCPN again, all terminals are visible again .... Pfuuuuuu .... Nightmare.

Still having problem to build a Win executable?

Hi Håkan,
I can build the installable but it needs the following DLL's to go with it. I have not changed the install process to include these although I can make them available in git and you would have to copy them to the OCPN install directory.

MSVCP140.dll
VCRUNTIME140.DLL
api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll
api-ms-win-crt-heap-l1-1-0.dll
api-ms-win-crt-convert-l1-1-0.dll
api-ms-win-crt-time-l1-1-0.dll
api-ms-win-crt-math-l1-1-0.dll
api-ms-win-crt-stdio-l1-1-0.dll
api-ms-win-crt-string-l1-1-0.dll
api-ms-win-crt-utility-l1-1-0.dll

Thanks for building a usable windows version.

Regards
Jon

Thanks Hakan, I clean compiled yesterday (maybe it was this morning) but it still shows as 4.8.0, How do you know it is 1.4.47?

C:\Users\Frederick\Documents\GitHub\OpenCPN>git branch -va
* master 54b5217 Merge branch 'master' of github.com

Hi Rick,
OCPN is 4.8.0 and OD is 1.4.47 which can be seen in OCPN 'Options/Plugins/ocpn_draw_pi/Preferences/About'

Jon

Thank. I will use this version and test with it today.

Jon..
I'm sorry but I haven't followed the thread back to understand why I need to copy the mentioned dll's. The package seems to build OK and O-Draw_pi seems to run fine without them? Could you give me more info please.
And shall I understand "OCPN install directory" as the root of the dir where OpenCPN.exe resides, e.g "C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenCPN\"?

Ok, now, this bug is solved. Good work. Bravo.

Dear Jon,
I blame Gilletarom for this feature request [sorry Gille, your diligent and impressive testing of OD and WeatherRouting, is the cause]

I want a way to turn off and on all the Eyeballs in OD Boundary's!
You should see what Gilletarom has created here: http://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/...ml#post2547341 His Boundary file has 100's of boundaries, would be good for stress testing!

But I want to turn it on and off easily!

What do you mean by eyeball?

You can load the gpx in a layer and then hide them with a click, IIRC you have to click <list content> if you want to use them in WR.

[Gilletarom]

hello,

Stop .... I had highlighted a little bug. Advanced by the penultimate version of Draw (1.446), each time we closed OpenCPN, having previously masked all the bounds of the boundary, the bounds were displayed again by re-opening OpenCPN. I reported this bug in the thread about Draw. It was unpleasant and abnormal. That's what Jon corrected in Draw's version 1.447.

Nothing to do with putting the boundary in a temporary layer.

Did-g I meant the "eyeball" on the first column, "Show/Hide"
Are you suggesting to just export them as gpx and then delete them somehow?
Then import when I want to use them?

I see that I can highlight certain boundaries, using the normal windows highlighting keys, ctrl - left mouse button and shift - left mouse button. Then I can export those selected files as gpx. And then import them.

I would like to be able to select the boundaries in the same way, with ctrl-left moust and shift-left mouse and then pick Show or Hide. Then I'll have much easier and better control.

Thanks.

PS: Also could the Eyeball be clicked to sort the "show" and "hidden" boundaries?
Small improvements that make it easier to use. Rather than clicking each boundary.
