Default source
chevdor opened this issue · comments
Is it possible to setup a default source, especially for the Zoom Level editor ?
It seems that the default is OSM, is there a reason for that ?
The default source is the one last selected in the main window. FYI: Whenever Ortho4XP exits normally the main window parameters are saved in file .last_gui_params.txt. This file is then read at the next start in order to populate the source parameters in the main and zoom level windows (under "Zone params").
However, the pre-selected source for the preview function is currently hardcoded to OSM). The reason for that is because the OSM layer includes administrative boundaries and names which are typically useful for identifying locations and POI's.
Btw, the official support forum is located here. I recommend posting usage questions there rather than raising issues here.
Hello @d41k4n,
thanks for your detailled answer.
The default source is the one last selected in the main window.
If tihs is the supposed behavior, it does not work.
Thanks to your pointer to .last_gui_params.txt, I could edit the file and switch the default.

Ok clear, the issue is that OSM does not load (white content even when using a VPN) and crashes the App for me from time to time.
Thanks for the forum link, I am checking for a solution in there.
btw OSM is returning an HTTP status 418 no matter what when using Ortho4XP so switching the default provider may help.
With your hint above, I can easily fix it myself but I think that all users trying will not help with the situation.
