Version 1.40.07

Bug Fixes

• Fixed issue where paths with spaces on Windows was causing issues with 7-Zip (7z).
• Removed unavailable OSM FR and updated RU server with a working URL.

Known Issue

• (Previous) One minor issue exists for macOS users where if the "Cancel" option is used in the prompt when changing tiles with unsaved changes, sometimes the prompt will assert a second time.

Version 1.40.06

Bug Fixes

• Fixed Here provider API key.
• Removed Maxar and Mapbox image providers which are no longer publicly available.
• Fixed issue in certain coastal regions where .dds files were being deleted with cleaning_level set to 2 or higher (courtesy of @andrewpucci).

Note: Removing the Maxar and Mapbox providers required removing their associated .lay files located in the _internal/Ortho4XP_Data/Providers folder. If updating from a previous version of Ortho4XP, users will have to delete the Maxar.lay and Mapbox.lay file in the Providers folder (if desired). Otherwise, they will still show up in the Ortho4XP interface.

Known Issue

• (Previous) One minor issue exists for macOS users where if the "Cancel" option is used in the prompt when changing tiles with unsaved changes, sometimes the prompt will assert a second time.

Version 1.40.03

This third release includes additional modifications that changes some of the user interface and behaviors of the application.

Features

• Batch building process modified in regards to configuration files. If a tile configuration exists, it will be used. If a tile configuration does not exist, the global configuration will be used.
• "Read per tile cfg" removed and a "Override tile cfg" option added. This override setting allows you to force using the global configuration setting on all tiles, overriding any existing tile configurations.
• The config window Tile Tab is now read-only if a tile configuration doesn't exist and global configuration settings are being used. Clicking "Save Tile Cfg" will allow a user to edit the tile settings since a configuration now exists.
• Prompt user if attempting to build tiles with unsaved changes in the config window.
• Added "Load Backup Cfg" buttons to the Tile, Global, and Application Config tabs which will load settings from a backup config file (if available).
• A backup of the tile configuration is made when using the "Save Tile Config" button (previously was only during a tile build process).
• "Part of image could not be obtained" error will now show a summary message at the end of a batch build.

Known Issue

• (Previous) One minor issue exists for macOS users where if the "Cancel" option is used in the prompt when changing tiles with unsaved changes, sometimes the prompt will assert a second time.

Version 1.40.02

This second release includes modifications that changes some of the user interface and behaviors of the application. The focus has been on trying to make the application more intuitive and fixing bugs.

Features

• Config window has been redesigned with three separate tabs: Tile Config, Global Config and Application Config.
• Tile Config tab: New "Reset to Global" that will reset your tile settings to match your global configuration. If the tile has any zones (custom zoom levels), a prompt will assert asking "Save tile zones?". This reset button won't save to your tile configuration until you click "Save Tile Config".
• Global Config tab: New page that only applies specifically to your global tile settings (what is used by default). A "Reset to Defaults" button is provided to allow resetting the settings to the application default. "Save Global Config" still must be clicked to save the settings, so if you change your mind, just exit and re-open the config window.
• Application Config tab: New page that only applies specifically to the application settings (these are also saved in Ortho4XP.cfg along with the global tile settings).
• When closing the config window, if any unsaved changes are detected, a prompt will assert asking to save changes. This applies across all three tabs, so if you make changes on any tab and close the window from another tab, it will still check all tabs and let you know which tab has unsaved changes.
• Tile configurations are loaded automatically when you change the active tile using the map view. If you happen to change your active tile manually by adjusting the coordinates on the main window, this will not automatically load your tile (might be something I add later that just requires some work). If you have the config window open and made changes without saving then subsequently try to change the active tile, the same unsaved changes check mentioned above occurs so you will get a prompt.
• Erase cached data (map view) now performs as a batch delete function. Select the tiles for deletion using Shift-Click (red box), select the cache data for deletion and click "Batch Delete". This does not affect the active tile (yellow box) which is how it use to function previously. Another way to think of it, batch delete and batch build function the same. Additionally, the refresh and exit button were moved to the bottom.
• Built tiles on the map view will now show an asterisks next to the zoom level (e.g. 16*) if the tile has custom zones/zoom levels.
• Global config file is automatically created on start if it's not detected (e.g. first time launching the application).
• Very minor visual tweaks and tip fixes to config descriptions.

Bug Fixes

• Previously, clicking "Apply" (which no longer exists as a button) before saving the tile config, it would delete your zones. The underlying "Apply" logic is still in place which occurs automatically but has been updated to resolve this issue.
• If zones were created but not saved yet saved and a new active tile was selected with its config loaded, all previous zones were erased. Zones are now retained in this situation.

Known Issue

• One minor issue exists for macOS users where if the "Cancel" option is used in the prompt when changing tiles with unsaved changes, sometimes the prompt will assert a second time.

Version 1.40.01

This is the first release of the forked version of Ortho4XP. Version numbering will match the official version but with the addition of a 1.40.XX.

Features

• Code changes to enable using PyInstaller to bundle Ortho4XP and its dependencies into a single package. #3
• Added the ability to set an alternate custom_overlay_src directory to resolve an issue for some users. The default X-Plane scenery files are split up between /X-Plane 12/Global Scenery/X-Plane Global Scenery and /X-Plane 12/Global Scenery/X-Plane Demo Areas. So if you set custom_overlay_src to the first directory and try to batch build a bunch of tiles, you might get an error that the .dsf file can't be found if its a location where the .dsf files are located in the second directory. #7
• Display asterisk next to each tile zoom level number in the Tiles and configuration window if custom zoom levels have been specified. #7
• Automatically saves the same data (active tile, default provider, default zoom level and base folder) that the power button icon does when you close the application using the operating system close button. #10
• Saves custom_dem and fill_nodata to global configuration. #3
• Added console feedback when using "Erase cached data" options and configuration window buttons (Load Tile Cfg, Write Tile Cfg, etc.). #7
• Includes Windows Python dependency wheel files for gdal and scikit-fmm. #3
• Adds a bash script to automate the setup process for those that prefer not to use the packaged version. #3

Bug Fixes

• If one-click symlink feature is used, added removal of symlink when "Erase cached data" "Tile (whole)" option is used. #7
• Fixed zones being saved to tile configuration that were outside of the tile location. #10
• Fixed minor code typos as they are identified. #3
• Updated and pin requirements to latest working versions. #3
