Stellarium wish list: Return to user set location and landscape

[Khalid AlAjaji]

Currently, during a Stellarium session, the way to return to the user set location or landscape is to go to the relevant window and select them again.

It will be an added convenience to have a shortcut to perform this.

Thanks

I'd like some clarification.

First, what do you mean by "the user set location or landscape"? The default ones that are shown at startup, or the currently selected ones that can be left changed, for example, by a script?

Also, why is a keyboard shortcut necessary, and not, for example, buttons in the appropriate windows*? Please describe the use case.

*I've added a button to the location window, and I'm probably going to add a similar one to the landscapes list:

Hi Bogdan,

First, what do you mean by "the user set location or landscape"? The
default ones that are shown at startup, or the currently selected ones
that can be left changed, for example, by a script?

I mean the default user location and the default landscape that are saved
in the config.ini file.

Also, why is a keyboard shortcut necessary, and not, for example,
buttons in the appropriate windows*? Please describe the use case.

A button is good. I meant only that it would be nice to have a convenient
way to return to the default location setting.

Thanks to you and the rest of the team for this excellent piece of software
and for keeping it alive.

Bogdan, your commit are introduced a bug #1033380 - this issue is when called methods from Planet class:

PlanetP p = ssm->getPlanetByEnglishName("Earth");
p->hasAtmosphere(); <-- that now bug

Ideas?

[Alexander Wolf (alexwolf)]

OK. I'm find source of issue. After apply method StelCore::returnToDefaultLocation() Stellarium moved observer to default location but method StelCore::getCurrentLocation() gives data from SpaceShip and for this object not exist atmospheric data. I'm rewrite feature goHome() for scripting engine and for return to default location with default landscape (access via Ctrl+H).

Is current implementation for this feature OK, Khalid? Can I mark this task as "Fix Committed"?

[Khalid AlAjaji (kajaji)]

Yes, Thank you very much.
