[Kstars-devel] remaining issues for KDE-4.0 port

[Jason Harris]

Hello,

We're starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel for porting the code 
to 4.0.  I've compiled a list of the remaining issues that I am aware of.  
The list is not exhaustive; I am not checking all functionality of the 
various tools and windows, just checking basic stuff for now.  Feel free to 
append anything you've noticed:


1. Crashes:

+ Open FITS: File dialog opens, but crashes on selecting a file

I tried adding a parent parameter (pointer to KStars), but it didn't help.
I also note that the File dialog works elsewhere (e.g., "Run Script")

+ Options window: Crashes immediately.  Backtrace excerpt:

+ Save Sky Image:  crash as soon as filename is entered.

+ Print Sky: crash when opening printer dialog

+ Find Object: Crash when filtering by type

+ ObsListWizard: crashes immediately

+ AAVSO tool: Crashes when "Retrieve curve" button pressed


2. Major Issues:

+ Skymap updates too slowly

+ TimeStep widget in toolbar:  awaiting port of KToolbar.

+ Get New Stuff: "Error: QApplication required"

+ Observing List tool: Does not show objects in list

+ WUT: No objects shown under "Matching objects"
+ WUT: No items in Evening/Morning/All Night combobox (perhaps 
  the cause of the above error)

+ Solar System viewer: radial lines drawn from Sun to each orbit.

+ Jupiter Moons: No orbit curves drawn


Usability Issues:

+ Manual Focus tool: RA/Dec boxes too small

+ Calculator: left menu is too small when tool opens

+ dmsBoxes show "hh mm ss" helper text even when they expect degrees

+ ScriptBuilder:  Extra Close button

+ Geographic Location: No map drawn
+ Geographic Location: "DST Rule" should be clickable
