New FSPlugin: Astronomical & calendrical calculations

[fabiochelly]

I downloaded v1.01, selected 'Choose City' and typed in 'San Jose'. It didn't find it

The latest version should works well.
Are you sure you have installed the 1.0.1 in the same folder? You shoulfd retry to download and install it

Thanks for this nice plugin! I have some feature requests:
1. Take long date format from Control Panel | Regional Settings for "Specify date" entry.
2. "Specify date" dialog: make combobox (instead of editbox) with history of last 10 (or more) entries.

Take long date format from Control Panel | Regional Settings for "Specify date" entry

The problem is that I would like people to be able to enter the day only or the day & month only to enter a nearest date quickly.

Yes, you're right but I meant not "Specify Date" dialog but "Specify Date" entry in plugin's root. Currently I have "d MMMM yyyy 'г.' dddd" format in Control Panel but that's what I see in the Calendar's root:

Previous day (11.03.2003)
Next day (13.03.2003)
Specify date (Cp 12 Map 2003)

I don't like the text in red. That's what I meant.
I don't know what format you use for "Previous day" and "Next day" entries (from Control Panel or not) but they look good for me. So the only problem is "Specify date" entry. Please take either long or short date format from Control Panel | Regional Settings.

One more wish:
could you please give the possibility to the user to change the color of the screening. E.g. Calendars - yellow, Events - green, etc . And different colors for the events: France Liturgique - of blue, USA- of stars and stripes . This would help to distinguish diffent events in overall events listing.

Done in the last version.

could you please give the possibility to the user to change the color of the screening

It's not possible with the plugin interface

It's not possible with the plugin interface

that's a pity. Then would you add some more icons for Events to distinguish France liturgique from USA by icons. You may add some national flags probably. I guess if i don't need Some_country_events i can simply change the icon in calendar.wfx by the proper one with some resource editor.

[fabiochelly]

You can delete the .fet files you don't use to keep only the ones you need.

You can also reorganize them in different files like 'myfavoritecelebrations' or 'non-working'

[Renard_Roux]

yes that's all clear, but if i have several fet files that i DO use - all of them have a clock icon and there is still no differention by what event is beloning to this or that group, except of description in round brackets (USA, ). - which is rather ugly to my taste.
That’s why i am asking you to iconize the events. It will increase the size of you plugin but ameliorate the general look

[Valentino]

Different icons is very nice idea! And I also find upper-case descriptions ugly so I just renamed FET files to my taste but I can't rename "perso.fet" so I still see (PERSO) .

Fabio, some more items to fix/improve:

1. "Sun | Journey of d m s" is not translated.
2. "There is no city matching your request.<br>Try to choose a more important one." message is never displayed. If I enter smth not existing Calendar just ignores this.
3. When I click "Next Day" please place cursor at this item again so one could go through several days easily. The same about "Previous day".
4. What is "Pesach" and should it be translated?
5. I can't see all events if I have many FET files. Yes, I can put NextEventsCount=100 or 1000 but maybe better make smth in interface? Maybe ShowAllEventsForCurrentDay=ON or OFF in INI will do?

4. What is "Pesach" and should it be translated?

= "Passover, Jewish holiday in celebration of the Jews' exit from slavery in Egypt" according to Babylon (recommended

Re upper-case: Agree completely!

[Renard_Roux]

2Valentino Pesach = Еврейская (Иудейская)Пасха, Песах

[fabiochelly]

"There is no city matching your request.<br>Try to choose a more important one." message is never displayed. If I enter smth not existing Calendar just ignores this

Your the second to tell me that and it works fine for me. I don't understand why.

When I click "Next Day" please place cursor at this item again so one could go through several days easily. The same about "Previous day".

I think there is no way to do this with the plugin interface.

What is "Pesach" and should it be translated?

Pesach is jewish Easter date. As it is wrotten with hebraics characters, you can translate it if your language write this word differently.

[Valentino]

Thanks a lot for explanations about Pesach. But I didn't understand if it should be translated to Russian or it must be written as it is now. I'm not Jewish holidays specialist...

When I click "Next Day" please place cursor at this item again so one could go through several days easily. The same about "Previous day".

I think there is no way to do this with the plugin interface.

Christian, please help with this! It would be very convenient to wander through days and see the progress of some values, just clicking Enter.

I agree with you. It would be very useful but I can't find a way to autoselect a file after a FSExecute event occurs
