I checked the ASL.library units of MorphOS and Amiga 68k against the official C includes of the SDKs. Especially the TFileRequester structure was always a little bit trouble because the old Amiga asl unit still used the old field names rf_* but from V38 of the Library this fields are all names fr_* and some other tiny dame differences (e.g. Dir vs. Drawer). In AROS and AmigaOS4 I only added the newer names because here I do not have any „old“ code. This resulted in a big inconsistency between the platforms and need ifdef’s in the final programs. To prevent a direct breakage of the existing sources (e.g. LCL, MUIMapparium) Amiga and MorphOS have both field names in the structure (as case). The aim will be to remove that ifdef’s from the sources.
Finally found some motivation to work on the route display not so difficult at all. But the search for the route I need to think a little bit more. Until now it only shows the saved orders. On double click it jumps to there and also shows the described route points in a different color. That should be ok for now.
Due to user wishes one can now change the color of each track and route individually, which is also saved to the GPX File. Routes and Tracks in GPX have an extension area where you can add own properties without violating the GPX format, which is very nice. The Routes and Track property window have now a Color Button next to the Name to choose the color of the feature (you have to save that before the change is visible in the map).
In principle it would be nice to have the color next to the name in the Track/Route List as a little colored square (like I did for track plot axes). But I’m not sure if and how that is possible at all for such a list, without creating a selfdrawn one.
Besides that I implemented that MUIMapparium remembers the position and open status of the Statistics window, seems some user like to keep it always open to observe the loading status or something like this.

Do you read journals…? I’m not. I seldom read such things and if it happens then science related. But there is still an Amiga related journal the Amiga Future. I saw it once or twice at the Amiga meeting here in Berlin but never actually cared about. But maybe the next issue would be something worth to buy 😉 Especially the one article which already has a preview there.
