[Marble-devel] Patch: "Remove Last Measure Point" and KML/GPX in clipboard

[Torsten Rahn]

Hi Mike,

Unfortunately I haven't received a reply from you regarding my last question.

However in the meantime I've added the mime part of the patch to trunk (The 
other fix didn't make it due to string freeze). 

I've also added your full patch to our marble-gsoc-2009 branch which will 
become trunk right after KDE 4.3 is released.

What I had been wondering about was:

- The coordinate mime stuff doesn't seem to work with Google Earth (at least if 
I copy a coordinate then I'm not able to insert it in Google Earth.

- The name field is empty. Shouldn't we maybe add a generic text in there?

Regards,

Torsten
