3.04 missing track editing features?
« on: April 06, 2007, 01:38:44 PM »
I can no longer select a point & hit Insert to add points to a track as before.  Has this changed?  I noticed other track editing features were missing in 3.00 but have magically re-appeared in 3.04.

Ahah.  The editing problems only appear after my computer goes to screensaver or hibernate or whatever.  Let me know if you want specifics & I'll mess around with it some more.

I noticed that if I open Properties for multiple tracks, I can drag & drop Waypoints between then but not Trackpoints.  It would be really cool to be able to drag & drop Trackpoints between track files too.

Found something else a little odd when I merged 5 or 6 tracks using the Profile/Merge tool.  After the Save As... to a new file, the files open display at the bottom (what is this called anyway?) got messed up.  The font changed to something larger on all the files except the newly created (merger).  This happened on a "fresh" instance of TF (screensaver had not kicked in).

PS.  Should I be posting this stuff in the other forum since it is regarding the beta version of TF?  If so, feel free to move the thread.

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback.  Moved this over to the beta forum, since it is 3.04.  Not that we really care much.

You know, I have noticed that occasionally delete and insert won't work for me either.  But I have never been able to duplicate it or figure out a cause.

I'll try hibernate/sleep to see if it's that.  It's been puzzling me.

Re: moving track points.  It would be nice, but how would it work?  Would the dropped tracks go into a new track in the target file?  If you want them in a specific track, what order do they go in?

My only point is it's more complicated than waypoints that are single entities.

Eventually I want a better system of looking at individual tracks in a file.  Tracking, dropping and merging them would be GREAT.

Re: Fonts after save as... never seen this.  Are you using XP?  Anything strange/different with your desktop setup (fonts, etc).  I do quite a bit of cutting and merging tracks, but haven't seen the "active file list" (that's what I call it) mess up.

Thanks.

Hey,

Just a note that I figured out the insert/delete thing.  v3.05 is up with a couple more fixes.  Give it a whirl if you've got a moment.

Thanks.
