Some small anomalies or bugs

[Jean]

Ed is right Sindy, you should edit c:\planetdance\pd.ini

It's simple, it's just a text file, you could edit it with notepad or something. Ed says to make a copy beforehand but actually it's unlikely something goes wrong.

[Sindy]

Thanks, Ed, and Jean for the reply! I copied and pasted 'nakshatraset=1'. This is how it looks now.

This one's over to Jean!

[Jean]

Sad to hear this. I'm afraid i'm out of options. That font was a present from Hank Friedman but just like the enigma font it does not work everywhere. Especially not in countries with cyrillic fonts. People there have had succes by (temporarily) changing their windows language to a western one.

[Sindy]

Well, no problem for me since I'm not using this feature right now. But for those who like to use it, it is a pity. Maybe I'll find out one day how to get it work on my computer. For now, it's fine.

But what about the place of the wheel? It's not centered on my screen. There's a bit missing on the right side of the wheel. Can I fix this somehow?

[Jean]

Sorry, missed that, see it now. Well Ed was talking about dropping that module because it's not really needed anymore. You can set outer rings in options settings. So that's what i'll do, problem solved.

[Sindy]

Perfect. I was thinking of that, too. Dropping it may be the best solution. It prevents people from getting confused. And as you said, you can display nakshatras in the main wheel. For those who have the matching font, it will be all right.

Could you please send a screenshot of the nakshatra symbols how they suppose to look like? Here is mine, after taking 'nakshatraset=1' out of c:\planetdance\pd.ini.

[Jean]

I can duplicate the nakshatra font issue. It's not being installed by the installer, i have to go to their forum and ask for help. Meanwhile you can install it by double clicking on it , windows will open it and there's a button 'install' on top. After that it should work.

[ABer]

Thanks Jean - I will try the manual install.

BTW - I agree - best to remove the old standalone wheel.

Best wishes. Ed

[Jean]

Sindy it turned out the installer was copying the font but not installing it. I changed it so it forces an install now so if you're curious, try an update.

[Sindy]

Ta-daa... seems to work now. 🥳 Many thanks, Jean! 🧡

[Jean]

Nice color scheme Sindy. I see you don't mind the overlap in the statusbar. Had another look, no way they will both fit so i'll leave it at that.

[Sindy]

The overlap in the status bar is a pity. It would look better without it, but if it doesn't fit, then it's fine. I don't know if dropping one of the two is an option. Personally, I like to have the 'parallax' option there.

Another really minor thing, in Horoscope/Vedic/Vedic Jaimini Horoscope, the title of the chart 'Jaimini Horoscope' has a missing letter 'i'. Can you add it? Sorry for being that pedantic! 😂

[Jean]

I love pedantic people, bugreports are what makes planetdance better Sindy. This one goes to Ed however.,

You can set the statusbar things in options settings general, under View, 'transit in statusbar' and next to Calculation, 'show these in the statusbar'.

[ABer]

No problem Sindy - will do.
