Good stuff guys and thanks!

[cagney]

It's to bad that Ptizef 's latest pull requests for the grib plugin did not make it to this beta. See https://github.com/OpenCPN/OpenCPN/pull/77 .
Any problems with the patches?

---------------------
Packets for Ubuntu 13.04 now available for download.

cagney...

No problem with the patches. Just "developer-brain-segfault"

We are hauled out on the hard for annual maintenance now, and shifting gears from scraping barnacles all day to pushing code all night can cause "loss of data"....

Sorry
Dave

Confirm the same not visible appearance in Win-XP using Journeyman.

And to complete the text of #124; The "Enter" is now placing a WP at cursor instead.

124 : Not Ctrl-O. It is Ctrl-o. Ctrl-O display or not display edges charts

Gilletarom, Are you sure?

O or F12 Show / Hide Chart Outlines.

I see no Ctrl+o or Ctrl+O in the list, but I may be wrong about operation.

Recent thread with review and comments, and different Shortcut List organizations. Also suggestion for a Toolbar Icon.

Thanks for your continued efforts.

Incidentally have used Open cpn 3.2 for the voyage Amsterdam to Sharpness, with a Digital Yacht class B ais along with the previous beta on a now local trip to Cardiff, with no freeze or failure. (no plug ins used)

Have just updated to 3.3.1006, and it crashed out on editing the chart groups, & sent auto report.

However a rebuild of the chart database has cured the problem.

Rick..to confirm:
Win-XP--- Ctrl+Shift+o AND F12 AND o AND shift+o are equal. Ctrl+o now place a WP at the boats pos.

I said that I try. O, Ctrl O and F12 have the same effect : They display or not display the chart outlines.

Hello Dave,

What do you undestand with the items MoTwilight and EvTwilight ?
Thank by advance.

Gilletarom.

[Gilletarom]

Hello Dave,

The item "Center wiew ... is present in the pot file. But the item "Center wiew" is not present in the pot file. So we cannot translate it.

It is used when we click on "Center wiew ..." visible in the context menu.
