New page

== List of expected behaviors for KStars 4.2. ==

Please test these behaviors, and indicate whether it works correctly or not. Once a behavior has been tested, attach one of the following codes to the beginning of the line to indicate its status.

* No symbol or Black: behavior not yet tested
* * or Red: behavior causes KStars to crash
* X or Orange: behavior is broken
* B or Yellow: behavior sort-of works, or is buggy
* U or Cyan: Usability issue
* C or Green: behavior works correctly

----

=== Mouse Navigation ===

* Moving the mouse shows the current sky coordinates of the mouse in the statusbar.
* Clicking the mouse identifies the nearest object in the statusbar; the object's "long name" is shown 
* Hovering the mouse attaches a temporary label to the nearest object.
* Hover labels fade out when the mouse moves
* Hover labels only appear when the map is not in motion
* Double-clicking attaches a label to the nearest object, centers it in the display, and engages tracking.
* The double-click label is removed when the object is no longer centered
* Click-and-drag moves the map such that the cursor remains roughly in the same place in the sky. 
* Dragging the sky disengages tracking
* Dragging the sky to one of the poles does not cause odd behavior
* Click-and-drag with Ctrl pressed draws a rectangle in the map that defines a new area to be displayed when the mouse button is released
* Click-and-drag with the middle mouse button zooms in and out according to the vertical motion of the mouse
* Scrolling the mouse wheel zooms in and out.
* Right-click opens a context-sensitive popup menu for the object nearest the mouse cursor.

=== Keyboard commands ===

* Arrow keys: scroll the display. Holding Shift increases the speed
* [0-9] center on a major solar system body (0 is the sun, 3 is the moon; the rest are planets in order from Mercury to Pluto)

==== Object Actions: ====
* C: Track object

Note: changes in the modules are not reflected until the widget loses input focus. This may not be ideal, but doing immediate updates doesn't work. Consider the JD module. Let's say I want to clear the current number and enter a new one. As soon as I delete the text, it would try to process the blank line as a date. Then if I typed a "2", it would try to use that. Basically, there needs to be a way to indicate that you are done editing.

----

== Discovered issues: ==

Use this section to add issues discovered while testing the program that are not listed above.

* KStars doesn't know my city's coordinates, while Marble does. Could not they share the a common datasheet with cities' positions?

* Need to fix DeepSkyComponent::init() so that downloaded ngcic??.dat files will be merged into one ngcic.dat file, as the 4.0 code now expects.

* Observing log data and user added links don't seem to be saved between restarts of KStars
----

== Footnotes ==

Add footnotes describing issues noted in the main list here.

[2]: Horizontal Coordinates seem to take time zone of geographic location into account. Is this desirable? It would help if the timezone used is specified.

[3]: Changes can be made in the histogram tool
