Export course print as SVG
Would be useful for uploading the course print and special symbols as seen on map to Livelox. Read more here: https://www.livelox.com/Documentation/Courses
(Livelox somewhat supports ppen-files, however, the result is messy)1 vote -

CS symbol dimensions
Hello everybody !
IIRC this is my very first post in this group.
I am an experienced OCAD-user but a novice in PurplePen.
In a recent training session we used a map in scale of 1:4000. The training was held well after sunset and we run with headlamps. Sprint maps are hard to read in adverse lighting conditions, specially when the size of control circles turned out to be not compliant with ISSprOM 2019.
It was 5,35mm instead 6,00.Did we miss something under initialisation ? Se link bellow to screeshoots

Distance measurement tool
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.

Automatically create a colored border for maps
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.

Fix text wrapping in boxes and enable copying text boxes between courses
I LOVE Purple Pen, but the text boxes take a lot of fiddling.
Use Case: I want to have a standard text box on multiple courses but on different locations on the printout.
Current Workaround:
1. Since I can't copy and paste a text box from a previous course, I create the text box typing in the same text again.
2. Long text does not automatically wrap, so I have to create multiple boxes and try to size them to line up (ugh).
3. The box appears on all courses by default but I want them in different locations on…7 votes -
Set numerically the size and location (e.g. X,Y coordinates) of an object
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.

Allow export/import to/from Condes
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.

Keep selected function active
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.

Text on top + Color areas
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)

Create Purple Pen for Google Chrome and Android.
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

Properly set the randomOrder="true" attribute when creating IOF 3 XML for Score O
When exporting IOF 3.0 XML for Score O courses, the randomOrder="true" attribute is not set for ConurseControl elements. I would have expected something like this:
<CourseControl randomOrder="true">
<Control>1</Control>
<Score>10</Score>
</CourseControl>but instead I get this:
<CourseControl type="Control"> <Control>1</Control> </CourseControl>I have created a concept of "invisible" orienteering via a free app (the concept is: no control flags in the forest, instead the UsynligO app will let you know when you found the next control point.The issue of the missing randomOrder attribute prevents me from automatically detecting if a course is a Score O course. It would be great if you…

More Hotkeys!
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.
