It is so easy to use the gluing predicate, not much typing .. and away you go. I have many functions in my library, and went thru each and every one (I have one left, but just now realized how to do it) and redid them as string.format() -- and for you new guys building plugins, it is worth the effor...

fhSetLabelledText works as expected when value is nil and the label exists. also, mike-- for the start index choosing code, I backed off the /3.75 and also removed the .05 addition keeping the + 1 I changed it to a decimal and multiplied. its at .265 and ran thru my thousand plus addresses, and thou...

Not a bit. it is how I know that a new facts address (to my program) is under discussion, because Track = is not there. Regardless of the method you make your insertions into the text, SO FAR it appears I can address them using fhGetLabelledText, so, I will check for Plot Mode = if it does not exist...

based upon my last miasma with my _STD_GPS require, I am trying to increase its robustness a Facts Address source record NOTE2 is: this is a typical NOTE2 in a Facts Address record: Map Life Facts Address Location Substitute = Latitude = 51.068747 Longitude = 0.6872456 Plot Mode = I add: Region = GB...

Regarding the failure: Martin sez: Thank you for reporting that and for providing the very helpful example script. We have confirmed the issue you raise. It will be fixed in the next minor upgrade. So, you big spenders will get the fix, in your unspecified distant future timeline. I, on 6.7.2, will ...

inquiry (#453205) is in our customer support queue

I will apprise all here of any response, or corrections (if known).

in your opinion is that considered incorrect behavior and worth me putting in a ticket for 6 and 7?

or am I totally missing something in my programming? (not an unusual situation)

mike, here is a simple straightforward test program, as I promised that shows some disturbing behavior in a fhSetLabelledText under v 6.72. I would like to see if it does the same under version 7. Please read before execution, Although it should blow up and do nothing whatsoever if you run without r...

it may be that a strict 32 point compass is enough. that would be done by removing entries with a b contained in the DIR_32 field (thats why it is that name, I started with a 32 point compass, that would reduce it by 2/3rds I hope the page you are looking at is what I intend. London Zoomed out enoug...

routes = { [1] = { POINT= 0.0000, DIR_32="N ", WAY="N ", }, [2] = { POINT= 5.6250, DIR_32="N ", WAY="N ", }, [3] = { POINT= 5.6251, DIR_32="NbE ", WAY="N+ ", }, [4] = { POINT= 11.2500, DIR_32="NbE ", WAY="N+ ", }, [5] = { POINT= 16.8749, DIR_32="NE ", WAY="N+ ", }, [6] = { POINT= 16.8750, DIR_32="N...

right, I thought about it, but it doesnt save me any comparisons or anything I can see for k v in ipairs do is the only way I know to read a table, I dont think I can do DIR = routes.POINT[math.floor(azim)] on the side, could you do a favor quick in v7? make a throw away source record fhsetlabelledt...

well well. then bills in the mail. Thank you for your help Mike. I still cant figure out why it quit working cuz that has been the code since the update just before 6.7.2 in my files, and I had to take the locals out so I had a default definition for those fields. if you looked at it, I just grab an...

it was me, in a piece of code that made all sorts of unexpected results, and has worked and was debugged long ago. My 'umble apologies for doubting you, Guv. local function updADR(agps) local ptrSOUR = fhNewItemPtr() local ptrNOTE = fhNewItemPtr() ptrSOUR:MoveToRecordById('SOUR', agps.srcID) LOC = f...

already did that, and am now adding source records thru MLF. I will let you know what occurs in the next steps.

yeah, FHUG timed out in my answering post. much work in the bit bucket. somehow, you are creating the blank records, I do not create them. rather than run thru my proof again, and risk the timeout.... run me thru how to delete all facts address records, if its your plugin, the quickest way, your plu...

As I stated outright, I create NO source records, Mike.
It must exist before I do anything with it.

Problem is not solved.

mike additional info. dont know why I never checked this before. I am extremely slow to thought these days. I add to your fields on the source records after, but do not create or otherwise mess with your files, or source records. browsing facts address type source records, there are some with two en...

on first entry into fh and immediate entry into MLF with no intervening activities, and I have only done that once, and that was while getting you screens, I took the first alt prtsc of the 86 not plotted, tapped on the screen to show you I was selecting address gps to source records and that screen...

More information, first, it appears that a close of the fh and reopen of the program is involved. that is, if I run MLF and stay in FH and add a few addresses, and rerun MLF in the same session it appears to work correctly. The number is now up to 86 non plots and that is about the new difference of...

I didn't want to start a new thread, trying to keep the issues with each plugin sort of together, figuring that the big plugin authors out here are inundated enough. However if this should be broken off please do so. And accept my apology in advance. Situation: 1) FH 6.7.2 2) MLF = @Title: Map Life ...

mike.

maybe not useful, but like map life facts, if you have it perform a save, does it update reg keys without closing, so you can kipe the updated keys, or that's a nogo?

I am full of this sort of behavior from fh. 6.2.7 10 64 everyone up to date. I do a lot of bad coding of grand designs....LOL. if you do stepwise refinement and debug a great deal, it can auger in pretty quickly. do you have CC Cleaner? if not get the free download. Also, find your TEMP and TMP and ...

thanks, among all the things I am doing I have it saved for working on it.

shoshk I've been fiddling around with the settings - got rid of all those pesky underlines that (I found) made it difficult to read my code, tweaked the syntax coloring a bit more. can you explain what you did and where, what values you put in as well, I hate those underlines, and could stand some b...

one reason Helen that I do not use penlight...

I have loadrequire in plugins.

pretty.dump(_FamOBJ, _fp)
.

never gotten them to work.
I have one more thing to try, but they do stuff I dont like.

the first loadrequire said it needed module support. where did that go?
