File name and position list
#1
Best ever router! Been using it for a few a years now.

A couple of minor improvements that will make it even better v3.0. 

1. Name of file opened (top line of display) - Please change to display all the file name as currently the beginning of the file name is truncated. When comparing similar routes by having 2-3 instances open missing the beginning of the file name is not very helpful.

2. Rename Position List - Please increase number of characters as my GPS app (Mapfactor) uses the Position List description as the file name. Unfortunately most of my route file names are a bit lengthy as they contain route details (having similar routes with variations).

3. A possible bug. Zoom is not displaying current zoom level. It displays 3 dots only - I am sure it used to show the actual zoom lever previously.

Many Thanks

Chris

It's hard to image what you're seeing. Please post a screenshot of the effect you're describing.

There should be enough space. Please try to increase the size of the dialog. Does that help?

I've been fighting this forever since it doesn't show up on my machine. Please download the latest prerelease. I've tried to improve the width calculation there.

Issue 1. See screenshot

Issue 2. It seems the max is 64 characters - GPS Exchange format  1.1 restriction. I tried with a blank position list name but when importing the file to Mapfactor it is saved with no file name. So I guess nothing can be done. See screenshot

Issue 3. Will try the latest prerelease but is not a major issue.

Now I understand. You're right: I'm cutting the file name to the last part of the part with a limit of 60 characters. Once you exceed this, three dots are displayed at the beginning. The problem is, that the available size in the windows for the title is not known and the calculation of the currently used size is inaccurate in Java as you can see in the zoom combobox.
