Competitors should virtually never be expected to navigate to the finish and it should be strongly discouraged. There is no option for the finish to have a description. I think that at the moment, many planners just leave the default (navigate to finish) without thinking about it.

Any map detail between the end of the tail and the circle part of the number tends to make the 6 or 9 look like an 8. A straight tail would never be mistaken for an 8.

At the moment marking a long forbidden route is very tedious as you have to re-select the tool from the menu to place each X.

All my controls have a code which I want in on the control/punch card, but I want to display the score for each control (31,32,33, etc.) ONLY on the map. It'd be great if "Score Only" were one of the options under Course Properties -> Control circle labels.

I can't use an existing Finish on a course file where I wasn't given the map. Everytime I click on anything on the course image the view first shifts everything off the screen

1. Assign a keyboard shortcut to Item>Remove Bends to speed up the process of removing bends from a course.




2. Create a "Remove all bends" feature to remove all bends from a course or set of courses.




3. Allow courses with straight lines joining controls and also the same courses with lines bent round objects to exist in the same PP file.

When creating a
circuit, it would be nice to be able to type the control numbers with
the numeric keypad instead of selecting the control circle on the map.
I hope the next version could do that.

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)

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

When putting design on the map, I usually work with number of elements - map border, some text, some pics, logos. And very often I need to move group of them to some location. But currently this is not possible to select a group, therefore I only can select one object, and move one-by-one to new location. Very ineficient and very slow..

Requirement:
Implement multiple object selection using mouse by pressing CTRL or SHIFT or by left click mouse and drag to select area with all objects in it.

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.

When you push (or click) left mouse button it soud begin to track points where ever the mouse pointer goes, until you release (or click again) the left mouse button. Probably is more usefull if you add this behavior to every line drawing tool, and provide a activated/desactivated method as example by holding down/releasing a key (shift or control key).

Support exporting course information in the OCAD text format, in addition to the current IOF XML format.

Provide a link to https://launchpad.net/purple-pen from http://purplepen.golde.org/contribute.htm

It seems like there is no link anywhere from http://purplepen.golde.org the only way I found the launchpad site was through the translation instructions.

For short courses it would be more convenient to display the length in meters.

When double clicking on the text, it should be possible to immediately edit the text.

There is a bug in PayPal powered donation service when selecting donation without PayPal account i.e. with debit or credit card. The system suggest Grenada as the donator's region. When changing the setting to correct country, the system restarts for some reason.
