Greg, You've done a fantastic job with ST2 and I'm just trying to offer constructive feedback about the Local Date/Time dialog. I'm a mouse user so I'm...
Hi Ron, ... That's interesting. I could *swear* that's how they used to work -- and that's how there are supposed to work. I fear that in the changes made ...
Hi Jeff, ... A mystery. The behavior of the drop down menu should be independent of the lists displayed. We did have something similar occur a version or two...
Hi len, Catching up... not sure this got addressed: ... This dialog works the same regardless of where you call it up from. Are you remembering to press enter...
Hi, ... So far I haven't been able to come up with a definitive answer. There are quite a few ADS systems that don't appear in either SkyTools or SIMBAD. It...
... I hope you read my historical explanation. These controls *are* consistent, but it may not appear that way depending on the assumptions one makes about...
... You're absolutely right - I was apparently just making the change to the time and clicking OK. I didn't realize (or did read <whatever>) that an Enter was...
... Clearly we have to fix that. I had no idea it was causing confusion except maybe for a few first time users. Thanks, Greg -- Greg Crinklaw Astronomical...
... A (very) Q&D interim fix might be just a simple label stating "Press Enter to apply changes before clicking OK". I guess I assumed Enter would close the...
For the "Local Date/Time" dialog, how about an *Apply* button which would update the hypertext controls in the "Local Date/Time Currently Selected" groupbox? ...
... That seems like the obvious choice, but think about this : The defacto standard with Apply and OK buttons is that the Apply button applies the changes and...
I think I have the improved design of the Local Date/Time dialog pretty much set. (1) A button (probably labeled "Set") will be placed to the right of the ...
... up ... list ... display of ... stars. ... have ... your ... and ... Hi Greg, evidently the off-list reply I sent you on Feb. 26th got buried in the recent...
Greg, Please look up this odd finding. I looked thru the archives & found no listing of this. Look up NGC2175 in any search you want. Pull up any chart, lets...
In using the 'quick search' to create observing lists for various star parties, I have one big problem I'd like to bring up for comment. If you select a...
Agreed. It sounds like Greg's "Set" button will function as Apply (or Update, as someone had suggested earlier). The Ok button, if it does nothing but close...
... Well, I think that was part of it, particularly when it was incorrectly bolded. Obviously it is really a "close" button (sheesh!). You know, this dialog...
Hello Everyeon, I just received ST2 in the mail and instaleld it. The very first thing I tried to do was display a chart of Jupiter from the planning menu and...
Hi Walter, ... The first thing you should do is download and install the latest version: <http://www.skyhound.com/stupdate2.html> The second thing should be to...
Hi Greg, Just curious: if you've decided to change the dialog box, why not go with the standard every Windows user already knows, i.e. just add an "Apply"...
Hi Greg, Thanks very much for the quick response. I just dl the update and I am running 2c. Regarding the Mercury thing, from the opening screen I single...
Greg, Two items concerning the log browser: When printing a group of observing log entries from within the log browser, I am unable to select the order in...
This was my point concerning naming of the button. As a side note, as the original poster, I'd like to thank Greg for allowing this discussion to go through on...
Greg- I tried copying all the data to the hard drive but I get the following error message "Error Changing Install Level" I have plenty of free hd space. Any...
Hi Greg, After I replied to your questions about my observing list behavior, screen resolution and etc, I decided to just delete the Mcneil(sp?) nebula list I...
Hi Greg; I'm a participant in the S33.org's doubles observing program. As each list is published, I transcribe these into an observing list in ST2. The new...
Walter, I encountered a similar problem when trying to put all the data on the hard drive after basic installation. What follows is the description I posted...
