#34 Property Data File is missing in documentation
Layer Type "billboards" has a property "data file" which currently lacks any documentation. At least I wasn't able to find anything about it in the manual, and it also does not show a "tooltip" in the info bar at the bottom of the window.
What I'd like to be able to do is to control precisely where the billboards are positioned and I thought maybe this does just that ... but ATM, I don't know how.
The data file format is the same as stars.csv example file included in the media folder (windows version) or you can download it from the examples folder here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/spacescape/files/examples/
Just a side note, you don't need all those fields, at minimum you need x, y, z, absmag and distance. The BV or ColorIndex can be used if you are using proper star colors like in the example file
