Fix and improve RELAY options.
1 In "Create PDF | Course": the "Choose Variation..." button is grayed out. It would be great to have this option available (including an option to print "all variations" map).
2 In "Relay Team Variations", it would be nice to have more usueful assignments. Currently, the assignments are not random at all and can't be remade differently by clicking on "assign variations" button several times. The legs are too similar: BDGK, BDGL, CFHJ, CFIK... almost identical legs for all teams!

Fix bug with imported image dimensions
Tested on 2 different laptops:
When adding a special item "image", it appears vertically squeezed by a random (?) factor. The same image imported different times sometimes appears different.I only noticed this for images that are wide horizontally and narrow vertically (like a banner). For example, an image that is 3000x300, appears like 3000x220.
Tried both png and tiff.1 vote -
Corridor orienteering and faded whiteout
I would wish for some support to be able to create corridor orienteering with faded white out. When doing corridor exercises we are now limited to use mask out with totally blank areas. This is not very suitable for teenagers when they are introduced into corridors.
The "very expensive product" have a nice feature where corridors are automatically created based on a center line and a width property.3 votes -
make it possible to have two parts of the map exchange on the same map
It would be nice if you could have a map exchange for a part of the course further away and then switch back to the original map where the course continues. There's currently a work around for this involving overlapping controls and forks but the numbering isn't correct, it's hard to do and it's very confusing to both plan and run with it.

Add option to hide lines between control circles
Sometimes, for example for training purpouses, it would be nice to have an option in "course properties" to hide lines between controls in normal courses. Currently, this can be done by changing the course to score type, but then sequence numbers change (for instance, if some controls are visited more than once). Alternatively, this could be also done by allowing line width to be zero in Event | Customize Appearance.

orienteering map filter for color blind people
Hello I am a student in physical activity and sports science.
In the context of my studies I have used your software.
However, during the orienteering race, some participants were color blind and did not perceive the colors;
Would it be possible or conceivable to add to this software a way to add a layer or a filter so that they can better distinguish the map.
Thank you very much for your help.1 vote -
Place text always on top of other objects
If I draw a box (using a thick line, for example as a background for my text), sometimes, but not always, the box covers the text, making it invisible and also impossible to select without moving the box first.

Add warning when trying to export IOF XML when there's no finish
I spent a while figuring out why I only got contols but no courses in my IOF XML export. Turns out it was because I had not set a FINISH (score courses with start and finish at the same point, so I forgot to also place finish on top of start).

The color space setting of the image export dialog seems to have no effect
The created JPEG image will be in sRGB even though I choose CMYK.
You can check the file with Imagemagick "identify". (magick identify file.jpg)

The image export function miscalculates the scale
The image export function should relate the DPI value to the chosen scale of the course, not to the scale of the background map.
For example, if I have a map in the scale 1:15000, and two full page courses in the scales 1:10000 and 1:7500, the pixel width and height of the result images should be identical. Currently the 1:10000 course image will have more pixels in it.

Improved gap settings for control lines
First of all, thank you for the great software! Would it be possible to add a check box or something to automatically create gaps where the course lines meets the control circles as it is stated in ISOM 2017-2:
"There should be gaps
between the line and the control circle in order to increase the readability of
the underlying detail close to the control."6 votes -

Update purple cross-hatching for Out of Bounds (forbidden area) to comply with ISOM 2017-2
The change to a lighter hatching has now been made in both ISSprOM and ISOM (ISOM 2017-2, published Sep 2022). The 16 Sep 2022 update to Purple Pen (3.4.1) implemented the change for maps with ISSprOM 2019 selected, but selecting ISOM 2017 from Event > IOF Standards gives the old version.

Allow for school districts to use in adventure education curriculum for orienteering. My school won’t allow it because of open source or sup
Allow for school districts to use in adventure education curriculum for orienteering. My school won’t allow it because of open source and no guaranteed support. I have a Mac that I own at home but seems you need quite a bit of GB to run and complex. Anyone have any suggestions or ideas

Comply to IOF Colour standards
IOF has changed the standards for colours in O-Map. Mixing of colours or "overprinting effect" are not allowed anymore, but there are "upper purple" and "lower purple". Moreover, present (June 2022) IOF standards are different for control numbers in ISOM and ISSprOM.
Purple pen should provide an option to choose the ISSprOM 2019-2 standard. Purple pen should provide a colour ordering table, where lower and upper purple can be brought in the correct position among the used colours.
Purple pen should provide an option to choose lower purple or upper purple for the various course symbols.6 votes -
export race in KMZ format
With the development of smartphone applications, a KMZ export of races would allow the importation of races directly from these applications (Navitabi, Vikazimut, ...).

To be able to create georefenced events with others files than Ocad files
A lot of clubs don't want to give their Ocad files to everybody, they only give jpg, tif, png or pdf files.
It'ld be excellent to be able to create georeferenced events with those files (for example jpg+jgw, tif+tfw, ...)
Could you create this feature that shouldn't be too difficult to implement?31 votes
