Version: 1.2.5 (using KDE KDE 3.5.6) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages OS: Linux At lmcboy's suggestion on the KStars forum, I have raised this bug report. Save/Restore stars that are not named in the observation list. You can add them. But if you save the observation list and reload it, all of the objects named "Star" (i.e. unnamed in KStars) are gone. Save epoch, RA and DEC, and surely these to can be saved and restored in the observation list. Better still, what about providing the SAO catalog numbers, or failing that, give me the ability in the GUI (rather than having to edit the KStars data files directly) to add names, and catalog information for unnamed stars, etc. that I might wish to.
SVN commit 762901 by harris: Fixing bug #147742: You can now save objects named "star" to the observing list. I have not yet implemented SAO numbers, or the ability to add names to objects (it would be better if these were filed separately as wishes). Thanks for the report.

I've tried to get a build working, at the moment I am focusing on tools/observinglist.cpp This file is very different to what I have for my kstars 1.2 sources. The QT header names are all camel case for starters. Have I got the kde 4 kstars sources in error? Thanks. On Friday 18 January 2008 06:49:49 kstars@30doradus.org wrote: [bugs.kde.org quoted mail]
The CamelCase Qt headers is one of the many things that have changed for Qt 4 and KDE4. So, yes, you have the correct sources. Do you have a KDE4 environment set up already? Thanks for your efforts! regards, Jason On 19 Jan 2008 15:33:28 -0000, Carl Knight <sleepless.knight@paradise.net.nz> wrote: [bugs.kde.org quoted mail]
No KDE 4 as yet. To test these fixes I need the equivalent KDE 3/kstars 1.2 sources. On Sunday 20 January 2008 15:10:33 kstars@30doradus.org wrote: [bugs.kde.org quoted mail]
I have tried rather unhappily to get all things kde4 working. It did not go well - not with kde4 under kubuntu (very buggy) or with kstars under the same. When I have time in the next week I will look at the kstars 1.2 sources myself and see if I can't post a patch for this issue for kstars 1.2.
SVN commit 767344 by harris: Backporting fix for bug #147742 to 3.5 branch. In addition, I added a fix that allows you to save stars with only a genetive name (i.e., "sigma Orionis"). Prior to this fix, the greek letter was represented as a "?" in the observing list file, and could not be parsed when reopening the list. Now, the greek letters are saved as ascii-letter words instead of the actual greek letter. Will forward-port this genetive name fix to 4.0 and trunk as well.
