💡 Newskategorie: Linux Tipps
🔗 Quelle: reddit.com
Version 1.03 of ZombieTrackerGPS has been released. ZTGPS is a Linux+KDE native PIM application satisfying the same purpose as Garmin's "BaseCamp" software, which does not run on Linux. ZTGPS provides sophisticated query and sorting capabilities for GPS tracks. It is targeted at cyclists, runners, hikers, light vehicle use, and anyone collecting GPS tracks from handheld units, particularly if you prefer data storage on your own computer to cloud based storage. A feature description and FAQ is available on the web site below. Binary packages for several popular distros are available under the Downloads tab of the web site.
Version 1.03 has new track editing features, usability improvements, bug fixes, new track tags, and compilation fixes for the latest Qt version. The full feature set is below.
A note about GPSD: there have been several requests to support the linux GPS daemon for live data capture from GPSD supported devices. This feature is in progress, but wasn't far enough along to include in this release. I hope to have it ready for version 1.04, though it will first appear as an experimental feature since I'm not well equipped to exercise it.
This is a personal project to fill what felt like a weak spot in the OSS ecosystem: fitness tracking software for Linux which supports local data storage.
Version 1.03
- Multiple tracks can now be merged into a single track using the "Merge Selection" menu or tool button.
- Tracks with excessive sample points can be simplified using the "Simplify Selection" menu or tool button. For example, there's little need to sample a hiking track once per second, and it adversely impacts storage and map performance. You can simplify multiple tracks at once from a track pane, or segments or point ranges of a single track in a point pane.
- Clicking in the line chart will now center the nearest point in the Map Pane, and select it in the Track Point pane.
- "About" dialog links (EFF, OSM, etc) now open in a web browser. Previously they were broken.
- The resource files now build no matter the user's desktop locale setting. Previously this failed under certain locales.
- Undo/Redo now display a descriptive statusbar message.
- Some missing tooltips and statusbar tips have been added for buttons and menus.
- Convenience: double clicking a GPS device in the import dialog now functions identically to clicking the "Import" button.
- Importing a FIT track with empty segments no longer crashes.
- Compilation fixes for Qt 5.15 on Arch linux to fix uses of APIs removed in Qt 5.15. Thanks to Arch users on gitlab for reports, testing, and patches.
- The program startup process is now better at re-applying the most recently used track filter, so the expected tracks will be displayed in map panes after startup.
- New tags under Seasons: Autumn, Spring, Summer, and Winter. Useful to augment activities which are not season specific, such as winter vs summer hiking, or viewing all winter activities regardless of sport.
- New tags under Misc: Firefighter and Wildfire. Useful for Hotshot crews, fire aviation, etc, as a nod to those fighting recent wildfires in Australia, Russia, Western USA, and other locales.
- New tags: Cold, Warm, Hot under Weather.
- Minor startup improvements to remove redundant track refreshes in map panes.
- Improvements to track selection on device import.
- Added "About" window and web site donation links for Inkscape and GIMP. Both are used in the creation of ZTGPS.
Version 1.02
- Fixed crash in "Split Segment(s)" menu in Track Point Panes.
- Added configuration option under the "Map Display" tab to draw track lines only when the map is still. This can improve interactive performance if you have many tracks. This is located under the "Interactive Movement Behavior" box. There is another option controlling whether to draw track points during interactive movement.
- Added Wind icon to Weather set.
