Gentlemen,
I need a little help with two questions:
1. I went to the JMRI web site's down load page and it says that the current version is 4.16. If I start my version on my computer it says that I have version 4.6-R81496dc? Did they restart the version numbers? Got any ideas? If 4.16 is newer do I install it
over top of the old one or put it in a new directory?
2. I recently purchase an engine with an unknown decoder. I went to add the engine into my roster and asked decoder pro to identify the decoder. It came back and said that it was a Train Control Systems/Jan 2000. It highlighted about 10 different decoders.
Which one do I choose?
Thanks for any help.

Rock:
4.16 is the current release version... 8 bumps up from 4.6...
Check the notes for special instructions that might be needed for that jump there's been a lot of changes.

Re: Virtual Sound Decoder - Clicks on looped sound files
Klaus, You are correct, I do have a click in notch 2.? my mod consisted of making a separate EMD645 file by removing all the other locos and changing the notch setting points to 10, 20, 30 & 100.? My note says it "works perfectly" but it does have the click at notch 2.? I also now see that the original notched at different points when accelerating and decelerating.? I don't know if what I did is prototypical. Per Matt H's instruction, I've sent the vsd file to? /g/jmriusers/files/VSD Conrad

Seeking advice on session planning using Operations and CATS
Hi,
I am a novice user of OperationsPro (OP) and an intermediate user of CATS.? I?have used the latter to dispatch several operating sessions now, but I am just in the process bringing OP into the mix.? I have sorted out how CATS and OP can communicate session progress at run time (OP reports train data to CATS and CATS reports train progress to OP) and I would like to use that capability during a session to manage progress.
As I prepare for my next session, I am looking for recommendations on how to manage the building of trains in OP while being able to exploit the run time capability noted above.? My preference would be to have all the trains built in OP in advance, print the necessary switch lists, then reset OP to the beginning of the session so that it can communicate the proper real-time info to CATS (such as train length at departure).? I feel it would be too hectic to try and build trains & print paperwork in real time.? One complication is that some trains in the session depend on earlier trains having completed their work, so they cannot be built until the earlier trains have terminated (if I understand OP correctly).
One idea I've had is to take a pre-session snapshot as a backup, build, print, and terminate trains for the session, then reset with the backup.? I think I would still have to re-build the trains as the session progresses, but having gone through a "virtual" session beforehand, and having the lists printed in advance, I think that would be manageable.? I welcome any suggestions, as I may be missing an obvious and better solution, for example using Save Builds, but I'm not seeing it now.
Thanks in advance,
Gary

Re: RR-Cirkits Motorman and Berrett Hill Toggle Switch pairing
Steve,
I think all you need to do is plug ribbon cables from the
translator to a TowerMan, (or other I/O port) one cable for
controlling the color, and the other for outputting the commands.
The power for the Touch devices will come from the TowerMan, so no
external 5V power is required, but can optionally be supplied to
reduce the load on the SSB.

Re: Signal pair conflict with turnout state? and auto train speed.?
To run my version, you will need JMRI 4.17.3, Steve is running 4.15.9. ?In either case, you will need a profile that has the connection set to " DCC++ Simulator". Dave Sand

Colin, Matt:
If nothing is downloaded/bought from that server then the expense of the "S"... secure status isn't a huge issue. Well if your browser flatly refuses...
Our MRR (The Pacific Southern... age 55 and counting... shameless plug for fall show... pacificsouthern.org) club didn't bother and saved the fee.
Of course users then need to understand why that's happening and what the real consequences are of going to the site.

Colin,
I've been working on it but there are a few hurdles with regard getting the config right on the server used to host the main website.
The status page you mentioned is running on a different service.

Hi,
The JMRI website isn't available over HTTPS. May I suggest it's time to add that and make it the default? Chrome for example is marking sites without HTTPS as "Not secure". A user is reporting that Norton Safeweb is popping up an "unsafe" and "highly recommended not to visit" warning for jmri.org:?
But I see that status.jmri.org has HTTPS using Let's Encrypt. acme.sh makes it very easy to setup.
If you need extra hands to help admin the site, I'm happy to help.

Re: Panel Pro Runs with Errors
Hi Dave,
The three icons have been uploaded to the Photos page under the heading Panel Pro Runs with Errors.
I am using the version 4.16 of JMRI.
I wondered if I have missed some of the updates. Though I also have a copy of the Panel dated in late 2018 which still gives the same results.
I¡¯m not sure what you means when you say the signal hands have no content. As far as I can see these two signals are the same as the other 30 odd signal heads on the layout.
Any additional help you can give would be appreciated.
Thanks

We have deleted these (or thought we did) many times, only to have them reappear when JMRI is re-started. What are we missing here? How can we get rid of these old panels for good?
As Dave says, if you open a panel and several appear, you have to delete the ones you do not want, and then save the remaining panel(s) (I usually "save-as" mine to a new name to minimize confusion). You did not indicate whether you were manually loading panels, but if they appear when starting, they might be in the Preferences in the "Start Up" section which would load automatically when JMRI is started (with that Profile).

Does the order of elements in JMRI's panel files matter to you?
Originally, JMRI did not preserve the order of elements when writing its XML panel files. The order of turnout definitions could and did change when you loaded and stored a file.
By user request, pretty early on, that was changed to make an effort (but not guarantee!) that the order would be preserved from one store to another. The code to do this was complicated, and there were various things that could cause an item to be written in a different order, but it basically worked.
But does anybody really care?
It would simplify the code, and significantly speed up certain operations, if we stopped trying to maintain the load-by order. In that case, elements (turnouts, sensors, etc) would be written into the file in order by system name.
This seems like a reasonable change to me. JMRI isn¡¯t a word processor: the panel files are a record of JMRI¡¯s internal state, not a document that¡¯s being written. Having that record be in the order that JMRI maintains internally is a simplification. (For a while, JMRI has maintained its internal lists in order by system name to speed up access in tables, etc)
But perhaps this would cause a significant problem for some use case. Maybe somebody has another app that needs a particular order in files from JMRI?
If this would be a problem for you, please let me know how and why. Otherwise, we¡¯ll likely make this change in the current set of test releases.
Thanks!

Re: Panel Pro Runs with Errors
Peter,
What version of JMRI are you trying to run with this panel xml file?
The xml file is based on JMRI 3.6 and has not been updated since 2014.
The siglet errors are caused by SSL definitions for the indicated signal heads (LH29 South A2 4A and LH25 West Sidings C 4A) that have no content.
It is not possible to successfully load the panel since there are custom icons. ?They are?block_display.gif and uss-15-1256x850-2rows.gif.
The full system console log would be most helpful. ?This would help diagnose the Java error.
