Your app, your call. I just tried to help. Your "last post" in this thread was before any file that I posted. Thanks again for a great app; it will be a pity if you choose not to correct the README.

For some reason, anchor links that were "automatically" generated with -- did not work in Notepad++ Markdown Panel (md viewer). So I changed -- to -, and this worked. I also added a section called "Tips for basic users". Last change, I promise. I hope it helps.

I fixed some typos and removed a dead link to MapEvaluator (https://mobac.sourceforge.io/wiki/index.php/MapEvaluator).

Indents and anchor links seem to be a moving feast in markdown format, depending on the .md reader. I suspect that r_x made the readme in html, not md. Nevertheless, here is a version that works with anchor links from the TOC (but not with improvised indents) at least in https://www.markdownreader.com/ All features worked in markdownviewer++.

Hmmm. I had never heard of .md files. Worked some things out; even how to improvise indents; but anchor links escaped me. Here is as far as I could get. Tidied up some things while editing, but may have messed up without knowledge of what the developer meant. Inserted "Sorry, no further details are available for this atlas format" for the new formats as I know nothing about them. Hope it helps.

I am happy to insert the suggestions made above if this helps you to update the README file. Is it OK to use notepad++? Should the suggested additions be marked somehow? I can add the available atlas formats to the README list, but I do not know the technical details comparable to those provided for existing formats in the list. It is quite useful for users to know such things, for example the special features of any format. Are you (or someone else) willing to add the technical details?

Hi r_x. Thanks again for the suggestions. To answer your question: my system has 16GB physical ram and a paging file managed by Windows 10. This may be the limitation, but it is strange that it applies at the point of area selection and only when the selection is close to the MOBAC display area (and with so few tiles). Anyhow, it is easy to work around (once one knows the trick) by keeping the selection area well within the display area - then it works fine with my system even if thousands of tiles...
