Hi all, here are my observations to date.
Missing Features 1 ?
Is there any facility to freeze the scroll bars, so that on PC shutdown,and restart, the map is in the same place, as was last left.
If not, would other user like it, and could Roger provide it ?
Missing Features 2 ?
I have seen the request for zoom and have read Rogers reply, perhaps instead of zoom to remove the clutter of houses which have similar lat/long details, perhaps could there be the following :-
A Right click command which may say "put to back" or "keep on top", like powerpoint and other drawing packages do ? or have the option of a one large house (Town house/flats Hi) with a list of calls attached to the same house ? I assume that there would have to be a user menu which would say "If the stations are with the area of xx size then show only one house".
Finally wonder if anyone has noticed these effect ?
Observation report 1......
When viewing a map, or looking at the station list, if an incomming mesage arrives, rather than jump to the message screen, it puts up a blue error message box, which contains the incomming message. There is an error number shown, but next time I will write it down (Sorry Roger) this has only happened twice during many hours of operation.
Observation report 2......
I notice in 071b that the setting for colours,borders, and backround do not seem right, the border colour seem to be the background ?
Regarding my previous message on Unproto being corrupted when in host mode set to "none" via a KPC2, I took Rodgers advice, and now run the TNC in kiss mode, and my problem has gone away. (It was leaving the TNC permantly programmed with the unproto being the callsign of the station you last worked even after UIview was closed down).
