Re: [Stellarium-pubdevel] [PATCH] recognize plain digit searches as meaning "NGC<digits>"

[Barry G. <bar...@ho...>]

Hi Fabien


As one of the long time users of stellarium I am very happy with the presentation of the search panel, location entry and star display although my preference for relative display is 0.65. I do get questions asked by new users sometimes but they quickly get familiar with everything with a little help. Most people I talk to would like better telescope communication with more features. A new updated User manual will eventually help.

 

I do have a little trouble on the start up splash panel on one computer that does not display (SiS661) the text correctly but this is a limitation of the screen driver. My other computers are OK.

 

At the moment with the latest Windows compile, closing Stellarium in the normal way gives a memory error panel when the screen clears. I have not been able to locate the section that wants to read the memory after shutdown starts. There is nothing in the log.

 

Also in windows compiling the location of the config.h and select.h headers need to be fixed. I had no trouble with a normal update but a clean compile can't find these.
