Sorry, no time to compile anything before Sept.10 (just packing for conference week). If you can prepare me an install package including Qt5-angle, I am willing to test within the next 6 hours, or on the evening of Sept9. G. On Do, 29.08.2013, 16:21, Fabien Chéreau wrote: > Could you maybe have a

Hi Jörg, I would like to try to integrate you shadow work in to the simplegles-qml branch. Could you tell me where I should start? For example, did you have it working before merging with the refactored render from Ferdinand? Fabien -

It's not going to work for my Ubuntu GMA945-based laptop, but I can understand the decision made by Qt to improve cross-platform compatibility especially on windows. As an aside, I'm eager to run stellarium on my raspberry pi (and the GPU may be sufficient for rendering) but I'm not sure about the

No Georg. The file is back now. I was testing to see if the old ASCII file would work but that wasn't possible while I was connected to the internet. I need a way to read the ngc2000.dat binary version and haven't found the way yet. I think those extra catalogues will have some use althou

Dear Barry, I hope this was just meant as an experiment. I consider Messier, NGC and IC essential built-ins, and maybe Barnard dark nebulae should be built-in as well, if users are placed in the field with their telescopes, off the web! It's also required for DSO symbol drawing. Kind regards, Geo

Hi Alex, Fabien, I think there would still be a place for W Steinicke's updated NGC catalogue as an option even with an improved default DSO catalogue compiled from simbad/HyperLeda. For example, the latest NGC lists distance/redshift information and corrects various mistakes present in older vers

Hi lex and Fab. I deleted the ngc2000.dat (actually I just removed it from all locations). Stellarium did not "bat an eyelid" it did not notice still read the ngc's from Simbad. By the way Alex I looked at your new configuretion table effort. Great work I am slowly getting it into the pd

I don't really know. Simbad is a good tool for getting cross matched catalogs yes. What could be very nice is to create a popularity index for each nebula, e.g. by analyzing the number of google hits for each :) Fabien On Thu, Aug 29, 2013 at 8:21 AM, Alexander Wolf wrote: > Hi Fabien and Thomas,
