New application for creating route guides.
|
I have been working on a computer program to help create route guides from photos taken at climbing locations. Currently it is in the beta phase, and anyone willing to help test it out would be greatly appreciated. The program works much like a simplified photo editing program but with tools specifically designed for creating route guides. |

Very impressive! |
|
Nice! |
|
That's incredibly cool! BUMP!!! |
|
Sweet and user friendly too! |
|

You should add a function to put in circles with numbers inside for belays on multi-pitch routes and blank circles for false/alternate belays. |

The final image product post save seems really "compressed". Lots of data loss...The higher the size and quality of the image you load into the program, the better your end results will look. Generally I don't experience much visual quality loss with the jpg quality set to 80 and the size set to 100% (the defaults). You can try setting the jpg quality higher as well. |

Tooltip - basically, if I hover over the select tool a small pop up box should say 'Select Tool'. Or the piton tool then it says in the small box 'Piton Tool'. ScreenTips, Tooltips, whatever you want to call them name the tool their mouse is currently over.

Thanks Joseph. I do have something similar in the status bar at the bottom, but I suppose it is much easier to read when it's next to your mouse. I'll certainly implement tooltips in the next release. |

Hi, I've been using your program since version 1.0 and it's really useful: the best tool for the job. |
|
Nice work. Looks like a fun project to code :] |
|
Rad. Excellent work. |
|
Looks great, we use a similar system for logging our snow safety routes. Nice work! |

First of all, thanks for the feedback from everyone. I've been pretty busy lately so I haven't had time to work on an update, but the feature list is expanding little by little. verticon wrote:One thing I'd like it to have is a "Close" button.Thanks for pointing this out. After thinking about it, I will most likely implement a "new" command that will basically clear everything or reset it like when you first launch the program. verticon wrote:Also, it might be useful to be able to enter a two digit number or letters in the circle for the belay tool.This one will take a bit more work... As a temporary solution (and you may already be doing this) you can place the empty circles where you want them, and go back at the end with a smaller type tool and place the custom label in the rings. |

Hey this is pretty cool! I just used this program to make a topo for "The Barb" on the Spearhead in RMNP. The program was very intuitive and it only took a few minutes to do the whole thing. Thanks Alma. |

Doesn't matter, the text tool will do the job indeed. Thank you for your work. |
