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.

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.

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 appears to be a bug, because in English versions of the control descriptions the wording should be 'Follow tapes __m to the Finish'. Instead the words 'Navigate __m to the Finish' appear.

At least in Czech Republic we have flagged course for the youngest. These courses are flagged along whole course, it would be nice to be able to do this in Purple Pen. Currently, I can do it by making separate project and use bend tool to mark the flagged path.

Make a course. Click a control code in the definition. Double click. Write new number. Click enter. The number does not change.

To change number you are not allowed to have single clicked the number before you double click. You must have another row yellow, then double click another line to make the cahnge of control code cahnge.

I am working with school orientering where it is often suitable to work with text descriptions in stead of IOF symbols. PP creates automatically the descriptions in English which is not applicable for Danish schoolboys and -girls. How do I do descriptions in Danish?

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.

Would be great to be able to swtich back and forth down the list of course tabs by keypress. Like CTRL-TAB and CTRL-SHIFT-TAB in Chrome. Although I would prefer CTRL-SHIFT-{ and CTRL-SHIFT-}

As secondary title for a course I used "4,5 km moeilijk"
when I produced the XML-file this comes out as:

<ClassShortName>4</ClassShortName>
<ClassShortName>5 km moeilijk</ClassShortName>

I do not know where this shortname is being used. But it looks like a bug

The post numbers field in descriptions are in Pre-O competitions used to indicate the number of postflags at the post. Doubleclicking on number could make the fiels editable.
