Re: Signals
Hi Gary,
Here's tutorial how to use the indicator of signal masts . But it is unnecessarily complicated for your needs. If your signal mast use only two states/aspects signals, then you can make a simple two-status indication, for example from the red/green lamps from the icons. The indicator light is then added to the panel as well as the switch and will be controlled in the same way. Good luck -- Petr ?¨ªdlo Czech Republic |

Printing out a JMRI LE and CPE panel?
I know how to print out a panel (multi pages) using a print screen method but I would like to see a feature in PanelPro that avoids that hassle. I would like to see a menu option that will print the panel even if it is in multiple pages...I have a lot of tape. Does one already exist and I missed it?

Re: Panel displayed on Computer screen is missing some of the tracks?
one thing I noticed today is that if I went to the panel and zoom in / out to get all my tracks to show on the screen. then open up Options and select "save location and Size" then restart. when it restarts the panel is fine. Not sure what causes this?

Re: Update JMRI Being Treated as First Time User?
Tom,
Had you been launching DecoderPro or PanelPro before? While each has a separate launcher, either could access your profiles. I suspect this is where you crossed up. The other is that the system now will see that a connection failed and prompt to see what you want to do right then. One of the options it leads you to is editing your connection. It also gives an easy way out to do things like 'connect stuff'. Might this new part be what you saw? -Ken Cameron, Member JMRI Dev Team www.jmri.org www.fingerlakeslivesteamers.org www.cnymod.com www.syracusemodelrr.org |

Re: UNWANTED BLOCKS & TURNOUTS IN LISTING
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýDave, Thanks, I still learning Jython and JMRI. Lot to learn with new stuff being added all the time. I like it very much! Ron Atherton? Sent from my U.S.Cellular?

Fortran used a compiler that usually let you know that you made an error on how you wrote a command. Jython just will not run with "bad" script and then the guessing starts.

Like you, my layout developed over some ten years and grew alongside JMRI. As part of the learning curve that we all go through I created several Turnouts and Blocks using the INTERNAL Name.

At the moment it would appear that the unused entries only have two connections but I am not sure if this is the default when they are created? Is so, then deleting all those with only the original two connections would appear to be the way to go but having spent many hours removing all errors between the Master, (Whole Layout) file Panel and the various Location Sub-Panels using the CHECK Tool option for all four of the areas specified, I need to be sure that I can get rid of all of the unwanted entries and so slim down the file to prevent any further errors arising in the future. >>>>> >>>>> That is why I put out my request for further information to check if there has been any further developments over the past five years before I embark on what could be a potential nightmare scenario for me. >>>>> >>>>> May I wish you a Happy and Peaceful New Year. >>>>> >>>>> Dave >>>>> >>>>> >>>>>> On 30 Dec 2018, at 00:19, Cliff Anderson <cliffaa@...> wrote: >>>>>> >>>>>> Dave, >>>>>> >>>>>> On Sat, Dec 29, 2018 at 01:03 PM, Dave Roberts wrote: >>>>>> >>>>>> I have read? the last conversation from Cliff in 2014 but has there been any progress in finding a way to remove unwanted/unused list items from the tables? >>>>>> >>>>>> Perhaps you are referring to messages #103133 & #103134 from February 2014? >>>>>> >>>>>> If so, it took me some time to recover them and even so I have only a dim memory of that thread after almost five years. Certainly, I have no recollection of further information and normal use of search mechanisms within the JMRI and this Groups sites have not been productive.
