Multi-couleurs pour les postes
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.

watch for changes to background maps of maps
When the background map changes in PurplePen, a prompt appears asking if the map should be reloaded.
Often the map is made up of two OCAD files, one containing the map and the other containing the format (border, northlines, title, etc.).
The formatting OCAD file uses the raw-map OCAD file as a background map.
If the raw-map OCAD files is changed, PurplePen doesn't prompt for the map to be reloaded.
The background maps of OCAD maps should be watched for changes

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.

Improve handling of text boxes on map
It is hard to add multiple lines of text on the map. You currently have to add one textbox for each line of text which is:
1. Annoying to edit since you dont know how large or long the text will be
2. Hard to make the different lines aligned correctly.My suggestion is to:
1. Make it possible to edit a textbox directly on the map
2. Allow multiple lines of text by allowing line breaks in the edit box4 votes -

produce report on water controls
Have a report on water controls. This would indicate:
- For each course, the longest segment between water
- For each water point, how many competitors use it, and a suggested amount of water to place

Arrange text descriptions in same order as symbols.
This would be useful for beginners as the text would read exactly the same as the symbols. e.g. use "N knoll, E edge" rather than "E edge of N knoll"

allow some settings to be retained between sessions
Users may find that they need to change one or more settings each time they use the program. Having a way to make these the new default settings would avoid this.

Make it possible to add a marked route as part of the course.
Most commonly used from last control to finish, but also commonly used mid-course in relation to spectator passages, map exchange or crossing forbidden areas. Should also be allowed from start point to start triangle.

Allow the "Set print area" to work on a number of courses at the same time.
At the moment the choice is all to make them all the same or to set the area individually. I have resorted to manually editing the .ppen file to make a number of them the same.

Rectangle with white padding
The rectangle is nice for making borders on maps. Would be great if it had a white padding option, so we don't need to use the white masking tool. Padding should extend to infinity outside the border.

For example : One map, mutliple courses and multiple circuit.3 votes -
Provide a graphical display of leg and control loading.
Many years ago I used a planning program called Wincacs. One place it won out over purple pen was in its display of leg and control load. By drawing all used legs and controls in an event, with different size circles and thickness of lines depending on the loading it gave a much quicker idea of which legs and controls are overloaded. Currently this is a lot more clunky in purple pen. Its not critical, but it would be a nice addition.

Translate text description of special instructions
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.3 votes
