I find Purple Pen much easier to use than Condes, but other club members are used to Condes. It would simplify communication if we could convert between the two formats.

We like to create colored borders for different course maps. Currently you have to create a rectangle and fiddle with it to match the edges of the print area. It would be nice to have an option to do this automatically.

I would consider very useful to have simple distance measurement tool that allowed to measure the actual distance of the optimal route leg. I consider specially useful when drawing sprints. The workaround I do is to draw in Open Orienteering Mapper.

When adding controls you have to always click Add Control to add new control. This is the same for other functions also. It is a little frustrating to always click Add Control button after adding control.

Hi so many schools use Google chrome and chrombooks, does PPen work on them,? thanks for a great resource, jason falconer

For me it would be helpful to set numerically the size and location (e.g. X,Y coordinates) of an object. Some time I need align objects, and I would like to align them with high precision.

Many schools and teachers are using the Google Suite, - not Microsoft Windows. Therefore it will make sence to develop an app, or an extention to be used on-line

At the moment if I draw white area it appears on each course.
If it could appear only in the one selected that would be great!

Very useful to mask area around the post.

Portuguese Language support in "Event - Customize Description Text ..."

1) Currently text is displayed on a lower level layer, so it is hidden under images. It would be nice to have text on top.

2) White out area is very useful. It would be equally great to have a "any color" area (which I would mainly use to write text on top of it)

When adding an OCAD map file give a warning if the OCAD map has linked images - and where the OCAD file is looking for those images - in case I don't have those images and don't know they're missing...

At present, special instructions such as "map exchange at control" are only available in some languages, but not in others.
In contrast to control descriptions proper, they cannot be customized via the "customize text description" menu option.
As a consequence, in my text description, "map exchange at control" appears in English, while everything else is German.
Apparently, all it needs is a few extra lines in the symbols.xml (or via Ctrl Shift Help Menu), but one would have to meddle with Windows Admin rights to write into that file.

When placing control descriptions, adjusting its position and size for every course (due to different space on map within courses) some descriptions already placed has moved on the layout - it seems like descriptions are somehow related - when repositioned in place again, the other moves off and vice versa. Again and again. Help!

I like hotkeys, they make things faster. Only hotkey that I managed to find was Ctrl-A for new Control.

I would suggest at least two new hotkeys:
- Select some element, Ctrl-C would copy it.
- Add last added item, Ctrl-L or Ctrl-N, or something else.

I think those would make things lot easier and faster and for the implementation point of view, doesn't sound big to implement.

Import existing XML file with controls and courses generated in Ocad. The XML file must be generated with georeferenced coordinates.

Est-il envisageable d'avoir la possibilité de modifier la couleur de certains postes (= course au réseau de postes en scolaire) Ex : avoir certains postes en violine et d'autres postes en bleu. Cela peut aussi permettre aux créateurs de circuits de différencier leurs circuits par des couleurs de postes différentes.
