BO I have added one or two of your list, and all the regions from IEB which covers a few more of yours. Those which come from IEB have (IEB) in the
name. I don't want to load the program with text that is only going to be accessed once. There are 41 areas now and as you will see below I have added
functionality that means I (or anyone else) can continue to create areas without 'overhead' in the code.
I have added some list controls
You can now re-create the list, delete a single list item or import a list (which must be in the right format)
You can also access the file to directly edit it.
When you first install the latest version you current list will be zapped and there is an extra field for number of events. Sorry if that means you
lose an entry or two.
I am testing all this now and will issue an update later this afternoon/evening.
By adding the IEB entries to the list you can edit them in the same manner as any other list item. See the 'Saved and Popular Areas' tab for
details.
When I said anyone else can create areas*, all it requires is a text file in this format
NORTH & SOUTH KOREA,33.8,43.2,124,131,1000
N.SEA OF JAPAN/HOKKAIDO,40.747,47.070,127.771,145.459,2500
That second one is a good one Look North for the best view.
*PS I could not stop myself - I added those 2 to the built in list!
All you need to do is copy and paste the into a plain text file and then import it. You can all swap shapes until the cows come home!
