  • Followup: RE: button on iblue 747

    > I'm not really sure I understand what time has to do with swapping SD cards. On my particular camera (Finepix E900) swapping SD cards means a lid has to opened which also has the contacts for two AA batteries. I always fear that this might cause glitches within the cameras real time clock. So I try to take a photo of (a watch or) the GPS logger while I'm pressing the waypoint button...

    I'm not really sure I understand what time has to do with swapping SD cards. In any case, though. If RCR is disabled, the points should be there never the less. You might find them if you know the apropriate times an look for iregulars in the series of stored points. (e.g. if you recored every 10 seconds / every 20 meters) there might be "irregulars' Those would be the ones. Rather than...

    It would be nice if a warning message would show if the user disables RCR. I have been burned by that when geolocating fotos of a vacation. I took fotos of me pressing the button of the GPS logger whenever I was swapping SD-cards. None of these events/waypoints showed and so I was not able to determine the time offset of the camera and thus the correlation between fotos and GPS data was only...

    I guess displaying the entire thread would help. Sorry for the double entry.

    You must enable RCR in teh Device settings tab. (RCR = Log reason why the point was recorded) Otherwise the software (any) cannot determine that a point was logged because you pressed the button.

    Using the NimbusLookAndFeel solves the problem. Thanks Serge.

    Also, the messages your report are normal. Java does not report the known lafs properly, so I have a list in BT747 that is 'tried' in order of priority until an existing LAF is found. After that it reports the LAFs that java reports (but this list is not always complete).

    You can set another LAF when adding this on the command line for the java call: -Dbt747.laf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.nimbus.NimbusLookAndFeel Can you try this NimbusLookAndFeel. If it works, I'll add it to my list of LAFs in BT747 so that it gets found before the GTK one does.

    This seems to ba linux, possibly Fedora issue. Workaround: Create file ${home}/.gtkrc-2.0-bt747 containing the lines style "user-font" { font_name = "Sans 18" } widget_class "*" style "user-font" gtk-font-name="Sans 18" and start bt747 as follows: GTK2_RC_FILES=${HOME}/.gtkrc-2.0-bt747 java .....

    The Panel title changes, but nothing else, even after a reboot. Also, the GUI Panel now overlaps the Seperation panel. I'm sure this is some Problem with java . I get the following at startup: 3109 - Fail com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel Fail com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsClassicLookAndFeel Success com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel.
