[Xastir] Feature Request

One small problem I am having running Xastir on a laptop is that sometimes when using the touchpad and moving it across the screen my heavy hand will re-adjust the map so then I have to go back and re-center/zoom the map for a coverage area. Would it be possible to have a switch that could

[Xastir] edges.dbfawk /^MTFCC=S14/

2009-12-10 Thread Dick Repasky
I've been fiddling with edges.dbfawk to display roads more to my liking than the default file provides for TIGER 2008 maps. For local roads (/^MTFCC=S14/) it would be nice to display names at a larger zoom level in rural areas than in towns, say zoom levels 64 and 32, respectively, but as best I

[Xastir] No DBFAWK signature

I get a lot of notes like the one below in my terminal session while running Xastir. Are these a problem, can I get rid of them? No DBFAWK signature for HOAC/29095_Jackson_County/tl_2008_29095_bg00 Folder/tl_2008_29095_bg00.shp! Using default. ___

Curt, There may be another way to do the same thing... Take a look at http://revision3.com/tzdaily/2009-12-08touchfreeze also gsynaptics or tpconfig on ubuntu. OR... Get an external USB connected KB to save the LT KB (and the LT) from being drowned with coffee. Defeats the portability but

Good on xastir getting on the front page of sorts.. I must take it all back with the Feature request for the AGW interface.. I woke up this morning and its allready there and it even works.. So Ive managed to confuse myself. The reconnect time seems excessive at times. I have not checked

Jess, Here is a cheap and nasty idea. I have a similar problem with the eeePC and the touchpad. Try turning on the Move or Measure option on the top task bar on xastir. Any false moves with the touch pad will not translate to major map rearrangments. A Map lock would be nice . Tony Hunt

Re: [Xastir] Feature Request: Map Lock

2009-12-10 Thread Peter Gamache
I'll vote for this one too. Can it be mapped to something like the scroll-lock key? This typically isn't used for anything else and would make the state obvious - as I assume the GUI would have an indicator, but you'd also have one on your keyboard as well. Peter KC0TFB
