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.

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 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.

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

If I used an oomapper map that have a georefference template, whith purple pen, purple recognize the map ok but the template is resized and not georefference. Some help.

Good Day,This is more of a question then a suggestion; is there a way to download Purple Pen on to a Mac and make the program work?

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)

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.

Currently, the font type of control number on the map (Roboto?) is not in accordance with ISOM2017-2 standard (Arial). Could you please fix that, or make font type selection possible also for the order numbers?

It would be nice to have a feature to load some DEM source file (e.g GeoTIFF with elevation data) and for chosen course to plot elevation profile and show total climb info. For planning purposes in hilly areas that would be quite a timesaver.

Hi,
I would like to be able to copy and paste 'all control descriptions' into excel or word. I am running a major event and next to each description i would like to record details such as spike/saw horse/ cable tie as well as notes on positioning. Can this possible or can it be made possible?

It would be great to be able to generate control descriptions as a Word document or Excel spreadsheet. This would allow setters to modify descriptions in unique circumstances. Is this possible or can it be made possible?

Allow printing punch cards without the punch pattens in them

Allow a map file to be a Windows Metafile (in addition to OCD, JPG, BMP, TIFF currently)

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.

It would be great if possible to create several sections in one course : for example, runners have to check controls as they want in a first section and in order for an other section.
