Just wanted to say I used this to map out the Emperor's Athenaeum map.
Used it on Win7 while EQ2 was actively running. The map would not auto-update, as said above. If I went an opened the log file phsyically in notepad, it would cause the Mapper to update, but my simpler work around was to just uncheck "Auto parse" and then re-check it to update my progress. It crashed on me a few times, usually after setting a new layer. Not sure why, Win7 is kind of annoying when things crash as it has that window saying "Attempting to find solution" and I always hit cancel before I can copy over any crash details. Not really a big issue cause all I had to do was re-open and I was back where I was, cause the log file is the where the good stuff is :P Thanks for the work you've done :D Btw, Inkscape crashed on me once or twice. The first time I lost an hour's work :( I learned to save often, as I have with other apps. |

I took another look at my code this weekend and I appear to have coded myself into a corner. I think I have fixes for the issues you're seeing, as well as implementing some of the requested features. I just need to dig myself out of a code hole before I can release those fixes to you.
I just don't understand how to write multi-threaded code in .NET. Curse you, "delegates"! |
oh the self corning.. yea I hate it myself.. I tell me self ever time I do it I'll always thing things through before instead of just going on the fly but yea , I've said that many times.. lol

That just sounds wrong. ;) But yeah I've coded myself into a corner as well. It usually happens when I start out with a relatively simple idea and take shortcuts... but then later want to add a more complex feature that requires me to not have taken those shortcuts and then I end up rewriting everything. |

I've already done a major rewrite of my map data structures. The problem is my layers panels. The way I have them constructed they need to be updated by the auto-parse thread, which is separate from the main form thread. I had it working for a while, but when I was doing some rewrites I didn't test it as thoroughly as I ought to have, now it doesn't work for some cases of auto-parse. I realize I'm going to have to basically rewrite the whole class and I'm just not looking forward to it. None the less, I shall attempt to carry on. I want to give a world class tool to support all you mappers. |

current workaround is to close ML before switching mapgroups, draw some lines and load ML again.
Oh, and can I suggest? Remove drop-down menus and add some buttons like 'open file' next to file location field; make settings for default width and color; when you export .jpg image, use same folder and same name as for .svg |
