Re: [Qpegps-devel] New version on SVN with tiled maps and gpsd 2.xx

[Graham <gr...@4o...>]

Hi, back again,

I just updated to your latest small changes which solved something which 
was confusing me - I have being trying my nested folders, which was 
working fine except for tile maps, which were ignored. I thought it was 
my problem, but it was that the code I was using expected "TILE" in the 
file and I had "TILED" copied from your map page. sorted now and it all 
seems to work well to me.

I have got over my problem with gpsd but something which annoys me 
slightly (not qpegps problem) is that it automatically switches to SIRF 
binary mode, and doesn't switch back at the end. I have some other 
software I use occasionally, which doesn't used gpsd and appears to 
expect NMEA only. However that is a question for the gpsd developers.

In fact, no, the manual states that "-f is deprecated and may be removed 
in a future version. Each command-line argument will be treated as a 
device to be probed for the presence of a GPS"
so the command line only needs the app name and the device.

Good point, and makes things much more simple now.

Is there any reason why the stop script isn't called when the Client is 
destroyed? It looks like this will only happen when the application is 
quit. The script is there, it is a shame not to use it!

I'll do a little more testing now I have it working properly and then 
upload my alterations for nested map folders in a little while.
