• Based on your username srhoag, I do believe I remember you from those cons in Milwaukee :-)

• I wouldnt want to support the 3d view in astro, but I had thought about doing some sort of 'search' panel when you add a sector file to the Keep. Basically it'd give you a panel (like the map viewer or word processor) that provided a search box, an…

  in Integration with Astrosynthesis? Comment by Ed_NBOS September 2009
• It'll use SQLite at first. Thats what the Keep uses as well. So you'd be able to query the database on your own using any tool that can access an SQLite database. Depending on time and people's interest, I may be able to interface with other data…

• You can certainly do that, but its going to depend on how duplicated the systems are. Are they separate entries with the same name, or do they have duplicate IDStrings. If they have duplcate IDStrings it'll be easier since you can just check for t…

• I'm not sure what you're referring to when you say 'frame'. Are you talking about miniatures? Or html containers? You can resize the grid in every version of SM - just drag the ruler just above the map to the left or right.

• ScreenMonkey Lite doesnt support scripts. You're more than welcome to use it as a tool in your endeavors. For using the miniatures as a map making tool, yes, its been proposed.

• You dont provide any info about your system or if that file is even there. But if I had to guess, I'd say you're running Vista which by default prevents applications from writing to the Program Files directory, which is why the report file isnt bei…

• The next time I'm under the hood I'll take a look to see if there's anything can be done to speed things up, but any major changes to the viewer will probably have to wait until the next full version update. For the PDF, root items can only be te…

  in Few question, before purchase Comment by Ed_NBOS August 2009
• No, not really. The system uses light years internally. About the best you can do is set it up such that each LY = 1 of the firefly units, and ignore the 'LY' in the distance measurements.

• Add a MaxReps entry at the top of your generators. That will limit the reps to whatever maximum limit you assign. ie, MaxReps: 50

  in Help with code Comment by Ed_NBOS August 2009
• Check that the shortcut for IPad tells the program to "Start In" the IPad directory. ie, put in "c:\program files\nbos\inspirationpadpro2\" (or wherever its installed) in the "Start In" box on the shortcut properties. I think thats whats causing t…

  in Random Treasure is missing references Comment by Ed_NBOS July 2009
• Hi Conrad, Its not a trick! Yes, you can put your ipt files online. The command line version of ipad2 can be used as a cgi program on a web server (Windows, Linux, and FreeBSD). It does require familiarity with configuring a web server though.…

  in Ipt files live on the web? Comment by Ed_NBOS July 2009
• Well, it sounds like you're 90% there. The IP it should be announcing is the IP of your router. ie, it shouldnt be a local 192.168.x.x style ip address. Basically, the ip you see if you go to

• The Adobe Reader version 9.1 works normally with The Keep. Could it be the PDF? Have you tried opening it with the Adobe Reader outside of The Keep? If the PDF is smallish and you have the rights to send a copy, you're welcome to send a copy to t…

  in Looking for a 100 LY system, based on real stars Comment by Ed_NBOS July 2009
• Does this occur with a specific type of surface map (terrestrial vs gas giant)? Or both? Since this is on Vista, are you running in XP compatibility mode? There can be some permissions issues under Vista depending on where its writing the surfa…

• I do recall a few other people reporting the problem, but I dont the actual cause has been hunted down yet.

  in Strange Password issue (not Router related) Comment by Ed_NBOS July 2009
• That was added, but after looking at whats going on inside the program, it looks like the feature uses the directory structure for IPad v1.0. IPad 2.0 uses a different directory structure. Which makes sense - that SM update pre-dates IPad 2. Yo…
