Other World Mapper Forum

Good morning from Germany!

First of all: Thank you for OWM alpha - I started OWM for the first time and I'm already convinced that it will be a lot of fun to create maps with it. I just added a few Landmarks, Lakes and Rivers and it was a real pleasure. Very intuitive GUI, very easy to use (I remember my first 'steps' in CC3...). Keep up the good work!

After adding a few layers I tried the Auto Labels functionality. That worked as expected, but if you rename your labels you either have to remove and add the Auto Labels again, or you have to add another layer to get the new name shown on the map. That's a small issue and it's easy to work around, but it would be nice if Auto Labels would update automatically or if there would be a 'refresh labels' button.

Regards,
Patrick

Hi Patrick,

Congratulations on being the first alpha tester to report a bug! The auto labels are suppose to update automatically. I have therefore moved the topic to the Bugs Topic.

We are really happy to hear you are having fun with it and thank you for helping us test the alpha release.

Hi Katie,

I tried the auto label tool with v0.7.2 and I get another issue with it.
I renamed this feature to Nessie before I set auto labels for features. This is still working as expected:
After that, I tried to rename it, but only the upper half of the name changed:
Finally, I tried to move the feature on the map. After that it looked like that:
Removing Labels and setting auto labels again is working, so I can still work around this issue.

Regards
Patrick

Patrick,

I introduced that issue with symbols and auto labels making performance improvements to the OWM engine for V0.7.2. It will be fixed with our next release.

Thank you for catching it!
