Hi Chris, thanks for all the notes. I am going to forward them to the list (CC now).
But one important question: Michael and I we looked both for your posts in the Forum - but could not find them... where to did you post? What category? (A link to the page?) - OpenJUMP Function problems allow also anonymous posts: http://sourceforge.net/projects/jump-pilot/forums/forum/729479 but maybe you had links to webpages in it, that may be an issue. Or did you subscribe to a user or developer list? (btw. there is quite some traffic on the developer list but few on the user list) Now my notes: 1) the win installer is in progress (comes hopefully soon, but with 1.5.1). For most of us (project folks) we just download the zip, unzip, click on *.bat (or whatever) and ready! 2) Yeah.. usually OJ is compiled against Java 1.5. I think I noticed the "items-that-are-not-showing-up-in-menu" issue as well. 3) On the JDOM issue I need to check. 4) Did you try using OGR2OGR for converting GPX files to SHP files and loading those? Or is that too cumbersome on the long run? 5) Gonne check on the Shortcut keys - but there should be no change, as far as I know? cheers Chris, Stefan Am 15.01.12 20:24, schrieb Chris Cooper: > Hi Stefan, > > The vWorker job was mine, as in I posted it - as I had not found the > forum, and also got no response on posting to it - but that is ok... > Getting there! > > Hardly a big issue of course.
