Discussion is meant to happen here.
For mere questions like this one, I attach the label 'question'. |

Committing, Pushing and Pulling does it relate to code only? Or could you commit let's say to improving visual style of icons? If there is a good explanation of Github, please point me there. (Sample question, would that be really for a separate issue?) |

Everything file in the repository is subject to committing, pushing and pulling. Of course, features such as displaying "diffs" work much better with text files. I don't know about a single document in Github Help. You will have to learn how to
Partly this can be managed even in the Github website, but there are limits. In order to work with a local clone of the repositories on your computer, its probably most convenient for non-developers to use the Github desktop software. |

Once a map is opened in Anroid app, is there a way where to find map scale? |

My personal preference is a mailing list. openorienteering-devel at SourceForge still works and might IMHO serve as a good place for discussing future directions. Question remains what are the preferences of the other thirty watchers. Ad the map scale display in Android version, current display scale (zoom * map scale) could perhaps be part of the information toast, like "2x, 1:7500". |

@lpechacek With regards to scale - I meant a defined scale for the whole file. You can not find it anywhere while using Android. |

Is there a way how to add dash points while drawing in app? Not after drawing is finished, during drawing on Android device? |

@ollesmaps: In my proposal the map scale would be visible after switching to 1x zoom (new feature in v0.8). I understand that it feels hackish. On the other hand, the user interface is not polluted with more dialogs and/or buttons. Ad dash points, I think it's the Dash button that appears after selecting curve drawing tool. It's the third button from right. |

@lpechacek This is a simple solution. I think that shall be enough. I did not notice the Dash button. Thank you for pointing it out! |

Today we use maps in more and more digital applications. The contour is not defined on a map, what is up? With skills or slope lines we can decide. But a computer will fail without slope lines. Why not define contour in OOM to prepare for the future that is already here? I think immediately with autoproduced maps that you might add som feature that put slope lines in small pits drawn with contours. There must also be more ways to be used, let's guess if to draw cliffs with tags in some automised way. Of course the program that produces the contuors must gt the possibility to define the slope of a contour, but that's another story. |

@Zerbembasqwibo You mean: so Mapper is aware where is up and down and you can later for example create DEM? |

The use will be in future. I mean rather when you get auto countours from other tool, that tool might (soon?) present up and down-side of contours. Than OOM might implement a function: "Auto place slope lines on small pits" if line length is shorter than some limit. But yes, maybe you also might export info to DEM och 3D-tools for visualising, or hillshade. Anyway, a very simple implemetation is to just do a countour symbol that has this distinction built in. Bu today, feels strange that a program doesn't know what is up and what is down since all information is there when as las-data. |

@Zerbembasqwibo Every contour has a left and a right side. You just need to define which side is up, and which is down. The biggest obstacle with left and right is that you will sometimes have flipped sign for one axis. In fact, this is even true for the y axis in Mapper, stored vs. displayed. But add the slope line as a dash symbol, and it will be quite clear to see (like it already is for earth bank or cliff). And even software might analyse the dash symbol, for determining up and down from the side which the dash symbol extends to. OTOH, you can as well just add an attribute with the absolute height to each contour. Personally I'm inclined to really make the "slope line" symbol the contour's dash symbol. Why should the slope line move separately? Why shouldn't it simply take its direction from the contour? |

@dg0yt: nice one! |

@mlerjen I would update the declination field in the georeferencing dialog and apply the proposed map rotation. This should move move objects, templates and geographic references in the same way. |

-
|
@dg0yt: Changing declination should not result in changed coordinates of the existing object but in the adjusted rotation of the objects oriented to north plus in a rotation of the map window (oriented towards "new north"). |

There is something here... But better put it in a new issue (or existing). Before rotation of the map the GPX-file ends up like this:
And after:

Quoting @lpechacek "On a more personal note, after two years of following this project and attempting to contribute code I've got growing feeling that interested project contributors should gather somewhere for a face to face meeting to discuss past experiences, interests, standards for cooperation, future plans and building mutual trust. A multi-day orienteering event might be a good opportunity for such a meeting." I agree. I can help organize such a meet up. WOC 2021 in Czech Rep. might be a good platform. It is a little far in future though. |

Would you consider this an improvement (Android)? Toggle dash in combination with Point / Angle button now adds or deletes dash points. (You can delete dash point using solo Point / Angle button and that is enough in my opinion) |

@ollesmaps What you are describing is the effect of extra buttons in the mobile user interface which actually only simulate the press/hold of a modifier key (shift, control, alt, space) on a desktop keyboard. Certainly it would be an improvement to separate such features. It is just that the tools were not coded for that type of user interface. So it needs more work than it may seem. |

@dg0yt Thank you for explanation. I guess that is an issue for the future Android GUI overhaul. I let it be here. |

@dg0yt Has you plans to highlight Mapper development progress on 19th ICOM in Denmark? (Wednesday, July 8, 2020) |

LGM 2020It would be cool if someone could present Mapper development status at Libre Graphics Meeting'
OR at least just drop few slides with short overview of Mapper for State of Libre Graphics'

Programme for 19th International Conference on Orienteering Mapping (ICOM'2020) is available online: TL;DR: There are no any presentations related to OpenOrienteering Mapper this year, only OCAD related stuff. Next ICOM would be in 2022. |

I miss the opportunity to incubate ideas somewhere, to talk about OOMapper new possible functions or ask some silly questions others might find obvious. Could that be here? And I mean here as in comments bellow this issue as an ever expanding conversation.
