Font/icon size (was: Re: [yaac-users] Disk space issue)


 

开云体育

A little excessive, deleting the entire directory. You might want to keep the log directory, which not only holds debugging logs, but also logs every transmission you make with YAAC, should you need this information to comply with logging regulations in your jurisdiction.

As to icon and font size, that is easy to adjust. It depends on whether you want to do it for all stations, or only stations of interest.


Font size is adjusted from the expert-mode Configuration dialog's Preferences tab; the map normally uses proportional-spaced fonts, whereas fixed-size fonts are typically used in table views so the values in different rows line up. The Preferences tab also has a checkbox for choosing double-sized icons for all stations/objects.

If you only want to enlarge stations of interest, right-click on the icon, and select Show Double-Sized Icon. The View->Tracked Stations table shows all stations and objects you have special settings for. If you double icon size for a station when Preferences specify double-size for everyone, the selected station will get a quadruple-sized icon.

Hope this helps.

Hi Andrew,

thank you for the info. I deleted the $HOME/YAAC directory and I recovered the disk space. Then I used the option to download the tiles directly and everything was ok in about 10 minutes.
I have another question: is it possible to enlarge the station icons and the markings on the map using maybe bold fonts??

Andrew,

I think there is a disgreement between the versions. I am using 1.0-beta181 (Windows) and I do not see any checkbox in the preference tab to choose double-sized icons. See attached image below.?

Also, when I right-click on the icon of a station, there is no "Show Double-Sized Icon" in the Menu.

The only way it works for me is to select the station for tacking and then to tick the Double-Sized checkbox in the track list

No, it was me forgetting where I put it. It's actually on the View menu, specifically View->Layers...->Show Double-Sized Icons.

Also, I forgot that the individual double-sizing control is in the Tracked Stations table view, so you have to Track This Station to get it on the list so you can pick double-sizing its icon.

Andrew,?

OK, got it. Now another small problem: the maps are not showing anymore the names of places
( I mean towns, villages. localities etc. ). The only names that appear are those of rivers (!!).?
I have the impression that it was not like so when? I started, so maybe I have messed up something!
I appreciate all the effort you are doing to support this nice piece of software!?
