Improvements and a few small bugs #21

Open rgleason opened 7 years ago

rgleason commented 7 years ago

  1. Sight > Minutes Uncertainty - If "0"force it to ".5" minute minimum, can't see it otherwise. Message only when less than .3 min.

    • Message should state: "Sight Properties -Minutes of Uncertainty may be too small to see!"
    • Need [Checkbox} Global setting.

  2. Calculation Tab for a sight -Include the observation time & date and details. Azimuth calcs are blank.

  3. Sight > Find should preferably calculate Corrections for Parameters, so that altitude/azimuth match the entry that would be entered with an actual sighting. See https://github.com/seandepagnier/celestial_navigation_pi/issues/23

  4. Time & Date Tab - Add [Checkbox] Global change for Minutes of Uncertainty!!

  5. Information HTML: Fix Erik's Nautical Web Page url http://www.siranah.de/index.htm URL to Erik's Nautical Pages http://www.siranah.de/html/sail040a.htm

  6. Overview - This has the FIX + all SIGHT information and detailed calculations for each sight, and a full Sight Table. Make it one of the selections in Item 6.D which would eliminate the OVERVIEW button!

  7. Table, (Right-click - List commands)

    • "Copy Sight to Clipboard" -When a sight is highlighted.
    • "Save Table As" all sights XML - When empty upper left cell is highlighted.
    • "Save Table" all sights - When empty upper left cell is highlighted.
    • "Load Table" all sights - When empty upper left cell is highlighted.
    • "Copy Table to Clipboard" all sights. - When empty upper left cell is highlighted.
    • "Copy Overview to Clipboard" - When empty upper left cell is highlighted.
    • See how Chart Downloader does This Result, no change in number of menu buttons.

Some comments. 1) done in my git tree, hope to see Sean pull it 2) I think that now, as we can duplicate a sight, there is no need for this checkbox 3) I cannot reproduce this. Can you give precise instructions on how to reproduce it ? 4) 1 minute is too much, it can be 0.01 minute for example and still be working. It depends on the zoom level. Not sure what is the best approach here 5) If you had such a checkbox, you also need to be able to specify the fixed Lat/Long somewhere. How would you do this ? 6) agreed 7) would be nice indeed 8) why not, but notice that at the moment the SightDialog does not have a menubar. And if we want to add buttons for load all/save all/load single sight/save single sight etc, it may clutter the interface. 9) agreed 10) agreed 11) maybe export the calculations to a text file, then you can print from notepad or whatever 12) isn't this the same as the "calculation" pane ? If yes, this is more or less the same item as 11)
