Re: [Qlandkartegt-users] missing icons in front of menu items

[Oliver E. <oli...@gm...>]

Hi Cornelis,

sorry I forgot to answer. I guess you use GTK, do you? If I recall
correctly there are some styles that seem to keep Qt from using icons.
Can you test?

Use OZI as output. That creates a bitmap and a map file. You can convert
this into a geotiff  - Oops, tha was the send key. - using gdalwarp.

e.g. you have:

foo.bmp
foo.map

you do :

gdalwarp foo.bmp foo.tif

[Qlandkartegt-users] missing icons in front of menu items

[Cornelis de G. <cwd...@gm...>]

Hi,

Today I downloaded the latest svn version, a big improvement over an
older version I used!

One remark though, at a Ubuntu 10.04 PC the icons in front of all menu
items are not shown (for example Edit-->Copy, Waypoint-->Download but
also in the context menu items, for example right mouse button on a
track as shown in the first slide of
http://www.qlandkarte.org/screencasts/qlgt_edit_tour.htm).

I looked around a bit in the source tree. The icons are located in
/usr/local/QLandkarteGT/src/icons but seem not get copied using the
sudo make install command.

Any ideas?

Best regards,


Cornelis

Super, thanks.
The GPX export from keepright.at was changed as you proposed.

Suggest in the settings dialog the place where you can set the waypoint

Hi Josef,

I added a new action to change the icon of selected waypoints into the
context menu of the waypoint toolview.

I don't find a nice place to define a default icon. As it is not really
important I would skip that request for now.

And, yes, now is a good time slot to update the SVN trunk :) But make it
fast! Who knows what bugs will creep in soon.

Re: [Qlandkartegt-users] Compiling GLGT fails

[Oliver E. <oli...@gm...>]

Josef,

I hope you are aware that SVN trunk is the development version of QLGT. It is very likely that the development version does not compile or contain severe bugs. It even can break your OS or erase your hard disc and make you computer go kaboom. In rare cases it can make your home town vanish and rip a sever scar in the time space continuum. The resulting black hole can consume the complete galaxy, in fact even the complete universe. (ok, the later is very unlikely)

Thus please use it at your own risk. It's not necessary to report every minor quirk in the development version to the list unless you see a widening black spot. If the developers want you to test a feature before it reaches the release branch, they will ask for brave and adventurous users to test and help exactly on this list. 

If anything is wrong with the latest release version we want to hear it asap.

Hope that clarifies bug reporting a bit ;)

Oliver

Re: [Qlandkartegt-users] Imported waypoints not visible

[Oliver E. <oli...@gm...>]

Hi Josef,

QLGT ignores all waypoints without a name. Sure, GPX allows the name field to be empty, but it's a bit peculiar not to use a name. The 2nd pitfall is the use of the desc tag as only source of information. For QLGT comment != description. Imho the common sense is, that a comment is something short that fits a line, and a description is something long and detailed. That is why you can sort waypoints by name and comment but not by description. Thus even removing the filter will not really work, as it results into a list of waypoints with no strings. No matter what sorting is used.

In short, this file is a bit bare in information and thus quite special. I do not see a good reason to adopt QLGT to such special cases with the risk of breaking normal use-cases. And using artificial names like QLGT_01 and so on, isn't a very sane solution either as the same point will not necessarily get the same number.

I would suggest to use the ID coded in the extensions section as name. Maybe the guys from http://keepright.ipax.at agree.


Oliver

[Qlandkartegt-users] Imported waypoints not visible

[Josef L. <Jos...@gm...>]

Hi,

with http://keepright.ipax.at you can export map bugs as GPX file.
Loading this file in QLGT no waypoints are shown.

Doing this with Merkaartor the way points are shown. Exporting the
waypoints from Merkaartor and importing in QLGT no waypoints are visible
too.

Think this is a bug or I'm doing something wrong.

[Qlandkartegt-users] Waypoint Icons - new concept

[Oliver E. <oli...@gm...>]

Hi,

triggered by a discussion with geocachers I changed the internal concept
for waypoint icons. From the user's point of view there will be no
difference visible. But the new system offers a lot more freedom.

In general a waypoint icon is identified by it's name. The name can be
everything. However if you want different software to cooperate one has
to agree on certain names. In the real world Garmin defines the names
and everyone has to cooperate.

QLandkarte GT has a few icons built in. For all other, unknown icons it
uses a default icon. Most users will use the custom icons, that can be
defined freely. Of course Garmin defines a lot more icons. The reasons
why QLGT does not offer these are:

* I am too lazy to do the hideous work adding all icons
* I lack nice icons with an acceptable license.

There are many icons in the source tree from the GPSMan project. And the
author allowed their usage. (Thanks :)). But many of these icons do not
really look like the ones on the devices. And ripping the icons from the
devices to be spread by QLGT is a no go.

Ok, that is the situation. Now the big change. After starting the new
version in SVN the first time a new folder will be created

~/.config/QLandkarteGT/WaypointIcons/

If you place a bitmap in this path, the icon will be listed in QLGT with
the name of the file. E.g: "Parking.png" will be listed as "Parking" and
"Small City.png" as "Small City". By that you can add your favorite icon
set to QLGT. And if you stick to Garmin's name  	dictation you will even
get the right icon on the device. In CGarminDevice.cpp there is a list
of known icon names.

A second change is in the DBus API. I added a function to send an icon
to QLGT. The icon will be stored in the path and added to the list.
Existing icons will be replaced (!). What's the use of that? Well, the
idea is to allow other programs to synchronize their icons with QLGT.
For example OpenCacheManager can configure QLGT to use exactly the same
icons for the different cache types. Of course the user can configure
QLGT manually right now, but adding a bit of automation might help. And
if OCM decides to use other icons it can synchronize with QLGT without
bothering the user. I am not sure if that is a good concept, but let's see.

Yes, that might be an option. But let's try if the new placement is
superior and makes a switch redundant, first.

Funny enough, your example shows my qualms of not being able to visually
combine string and icon. On my example, mostly tracks with many
waypoints from hikes, it really helps. As the icons are in a kind of
line it's easy to determine the string of an icon.

On the other hand side the cloud of icons is surrounded by a few strings
on outer zoom levels. That looks kind of nice. As said you have to work
with these things for a time to know if it is a benefit or not. And
weeding out the string clouds is always a good idea. After all I do
quite the same for the POIs on vector maps.

Maybe it's a good idea to give the user an option to switch it off?  I.e. a check box "auto-place waypoint labels", or something like that?

> And now I have to produce waypoint clouds :D

Try the attached file with Openstreetmap, and switch the zoom levels...  The file contains a bunch of locations in the Osnabrück region.  Actually, I'm preparing some maps using QLandkarte GT, and use the waypoints to highlight "my" special locations.  Red icons and red texts (thanks a lot for implementing it!) help a lot, but labels overwritten by labels and/or icons just don't look professional.

Apparently the solution isn't absolutely bullet-proof (try "Harpenfeld" at zoom 32; no idea why it fails there, maybe the text bounding box is clipped as it's integer, i.e. we have to add one pixel?), but for most cases it seems to work nicely.

Best,
Albrecht.

No, because ascent != descend. Fonts are evil.

Re: [Qlandkartegt-users] switch: show names on/off

Hi Albrecht,

looks cool on the first spot. I would say we keep it unless it turns out
to be an annoyance. In these cases it always takes some time of usage to
tell if it a thumbs up or thumbs down. [1]

I merged the patch by hand to document the changes a bit. By that it's
easier to revert, even if CWptDB has changed otherwise. I will remove
the comments the next time I parse across this part, unless there was a
good reason to revert.


And now I have to produce waypoint clouds :D

Oliver



[1] The last thing that had to go was pressing the ALT key and moving
the mouse, to move the map. Sounded like a nice idea on the first spot
but turned out to be a real annoyance as it interfered with the ALT+TAB
to switch applications. That why I am a little bit more cautious this
time :)

You're right - the c++ coding was actually quite easy, the more difficult task was to understand the 'magic' behind the various text box shifts...

Anyway, a proposal is attached.  It first draws all wp icons and collects them in the "block list", and then tries to draw all labels with adjustments top - bottom - right - left.  I had to add some quirks as e.g 0.5 the text box height is apparently not the vertically centred...

At least on Linux with an Arial text font, the result is an improvement IMHO.

Comments?

Re: [Qlandkartegt-users] Import of Geotiff possible?

[Moritz <mai...@mu...>]

Hi Stefan,
that should be possible.

I think you have to do Karte->Karte erzeugen/laden.  There create a new
map definition and in the lower part add your geotiff. Then it should
appear in the map list on the left side in the map collection.
