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

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

I have uploaded a few things now.

Some features were not working for me and seemed to have some obvious fixes:

Set/Clear Destination was not working, nor were new places being saved.
The stop script was never called
gpsd doesn't need the "-f" option anymore.

I also uploaded my changes for nested folders. I believe this should not 
affect anyone not using the feature.
Put a folder with it's own independent maps.txt file in the profile base 
maps folder and it will be added to the map list. The new maps.txt 
doesn't need to know which folder it is in.

Hope that makes sense.
