[Kstars-devel] KStars 3.3 QA checklist

[Jason Harris]

Hi everyone,

I have almost completed my run down the 3.3 QA list, and as expected, it 
uncovered a large number of problems.  Unfortunately, we are only 9 
days from total freeze.  More unfortunately (well, for KStars), I am 
going to spend half of that time in Chile, on an observing run.

So, if anyone can spare some time to look into fixing some of these 
issues, I would really appreciate it.  Many of them will be pretty easy 
to fix, I think.  The list of issues is appended below.

Also, I haven't gone through the Calculator or INDI portions of the QA 
list yet.

thanks,
Jason

---------------------------------------------------------
+ Print:
	Images and symbols are drawn way too small
	Images and symbols have wrong PA orientation

+ Set Focus Manually:
	Setting RA/Dec while in Alt/Az mode does not work; focus goes
		to Az=0, Alt=0.  Suspect missing EquatorialToHorizontal()
	Allows me to choose RA out of range (wraps into correct range)

+ Tracking:
	"Engage tracking" menu/toolbar action jumps to previous track
		position after screen updates. (oldFocus not reset??)
	If tracking engaged by other than menu/toolbar action, the 
		action's text remains "Engage tracking" rather than 
		toggling to "Stop tracking"

+ User reports that Fullscreen mode cannot be deactivated under 
	3.3beta2

+ If KStars starts up with Comets/Asteroids turned off, and they 
	are then activated, they all appear at RA,Dec=0,0 until a 
	large time interval (~1 hour) passes.  Probably need to add
	setFullTimeUpdate().

+ Saturn's name label is too close

+ INDI Device manager:  Should have Close button, instead of 
	Ok and Cancel.

+ Color Options:
	Star color mode and intensity do not change when a scheme 
		is loaded.  
	If color scheme changes, the old one still loaded when 
		ops dialog repoened
	When color scheme removed from ops dialog, it does not 
		disappear from the color schemes menu
	When color scheme removed, the color palette is not 
		reloaded with another scheme

+ ExtDatePicker: For years prior to 2000, the highlighted date 
	is off by -1 week. (the correct date is actually selected, 
	it's just highlighting the wrong date in the grid)

+ Options Dialog:
	Stars zoomed-out faint limit not restrcted to be 
		<= zoomed-in limit
	Showing star mag label (but not name label) prepends 
		"star" to label!
	child widgets not disabled when parent unchecked:
		Stars, Asteroids, Comets, CNames, MW, Hide Objects
	"Remove all trails" button does not function
	Hide Object timestep widget does not activate "Apply" 
		button when changed

+ Add custom caatlog crashes on invalid catalog!

+ Script Builder: City/Prov/Country names should be quoted, 
	or spaces escaped.

+ Alt vs. Time:
	Adding a custom object a second time is not ignored, because 
		it keeps re-precessing the coordinates.
	Invalid RA/Dec values are accepted and wrapped into valid range.

+ Details Window:
	Messier objects without a long name display M name twice 
		(primary and list of secondary)
	"Edit Link" button allows for URL change, but not Link text 
		change (need to wait for feature thaw)
	Log text should be saved silently and automatically whenever 
		the tab is switched or window closed (wait for feature thaw)

+ Script Builder:
	The Functions list should be sorted alphabetically
	"Save As" should warn if target file exists already!
	Opening a file should not be regarded as modifying it 
		(does not happen for every script...weird)

+ Popup menu:
	When Removing a user label, it should begin to fade away
		immediately, rather than wait for a mouse move event.
