Add a layout for mobile devices with smaller screen size.
Only the main sequence drawing section and OpenAero string in view. Other 
sections on click

The sequence terminator does not always appear in correct place (e.g. after 
moving to new pos). It should always appear at the end of the last figure.

Build 'wrapper' apps for different platforms. This might:
1. Improve file handling
2. Ease installation

Save the active sequence as a cookie so it is not lost when the browser is 
closed.

We started last year in France a project for fitting the judge line with 
electronic workpads. Among other things
the individual figures could be display while they are flown. For this, it’s 
necessary to get from Olan (or Open
Aero) the individual drawing of each figure for both B and C configuration in 
order to pass it to the workpads.
Each drawing being in a file named Sequence_Y_fig_X.jpg (Sequence being the 
sequence name, Y being B or
C depending on the form used and X being the figure number). The drawing that 
is display in the figure selection
box (in the top left corner) when a figure of the sequence is selected will be 
perfect for this.

Need sequence validity checking.
The system could be ported from OLAN.

Today a conv-xxx only apply to the rolls string of text not including the base 
figure. Ability to apply the conv-
xxx to the full string of text of a figure (incuding base figure) could be very 
helpful in some occasion. For
example (use the “rules13-civa.txt” file as a support) imagine a new Civa 
rule for unlimited unknown stating
fig 1.1.1.1-4 is allowed with rolls and any number of stop allowed only on fig 
1.1.1.1-4. So the rule “ rule-
Hor10stop” can no more be included in the “allow-defrules” line and 
should be attached to every single figure
with possible rolls on an horizontal line part except 1.1.1.1-4. This is very 
tedious. Having the base figure string
subject to the conv-xxx will allow to define a general rule that can be set in 
the “allow-defrules” line.
I face this kind of situation with rule R6 for Doret category (see 
“rules13-france.txt” file). I decided to issue an
error message for all the figures indicating the message was not relevant for a 
few indicated figures. Witch is not
very elegant. Like for group depending whether the first letter of the rule 
name is a capital letter or not, the conv-
xxx will apply to the full line or only to the rolls as today.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Opening existing olan sequence
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Unreadable form B and C

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.9.2 Windows 7 pro

Please provide any additional information below.

Add graphical figure addition and modification (as in OLAN) from a separate 
pane.

Not all figure errors get reported. E.g:
1o
11111111

Add more robust error reporting.

roundTwo does not round accurately. However, when using accurate rounding a 
freeze occurs when drawing humpty bumps (and others?).

From the point of Organizer - free sequence checker, it's a great
advantage to have the sequence definition string printed on the forms.
If someone send it in pdf or even bring it on paper, you can easily
retype it into program. Very small font is absolutely enough.

It would be very convenient to directly load sequence info in ACRO from 
OpenAero. This will be done through XML files generated by OpenAero for ACRO.

Show which figure is currently being edited by:
- a magenta circle around the start
- selection highlight in the ‘sequence’ input

As shown by the two preceding points, the ability to set comments on a figure 
could be quite useful, mostly for
documenting but also for pilots. “Figures de base.jpg“ is an another 
example (I give this to all the pilots who
start aerobatics in order they know the name of the figures and the basis of 
aerocryptography).
This features is also useful for pilots who want to add important flight memos 
on their pilot card (“pull early”,
“wait”, “hurry up”, “end of the box”).
This comments (in Olan) can be attached to the figures, but also to the rolls. 
This latter possibility is
undocumented, so probably, very few people use it. When used it replace the 
“extend” of the roll. Figure 5
of “EAC_2012_Figures_Inconnu_1.seq” use it. This can be useful for pilots 
on their pilot card to indicate the
direction of the roll to return in the correct direction.
Comments for the whole sequence (not available in Olan) can be also interesting 
when documenting to add a
title or a note at the bottom of the page.

Add option for printing card

olan had buttons to do this, which was useful.

yr doing a great job i personally appreciate it

For more sequence space

The small lines before and after a roll in the top are missing

in australian competitions, the competitor is asked to submit 4 figures in form 
a format for the ciontest jury to select figures for unknown 1 and 2 programs.

open aero can do this however, if you wish to have 1 figure with an inverted 
exit, and your next figure you want to have an upright entry, you have to 
submit a half roll in between to make the 4 figures display.

it would be useful to be able to draw 4 figures without having any of them 
become illegal because of the exit criteria of the preceeding figure

as openaero stands, if you select a base figure which has an inverted entry 
following an upright exit, the figure does not display, but shows as a x box 
invalid figure.

olan would autocorrect and ask you to set inverted entry or exit. when 
developing sequences it is valuable to have the figure display, otherwise you 
make a change in one figure, and the next one disappears into a red x box.

The bottom of the sequence sometimes disappears.
This is now solved with a temporary hack

This is probably a feature of no importance for pilot, but it’s very 
important and helpful for people who will
build or change a rule set. The debugging information (that’s the way I call 
it) available in Olan after running
a sequence check and clicking on the “show log” button of the “Sequence 
Verification Results” dialog box is
very helpful to understand why a rule is not working or why a check fail with 
the view of the “conv-“ results.
Providing similar information in a log file, for example, would be very 
interesting. This could be done not as a
default functionality but on a request base through the use of a switch, a menu 
or a command button.
It could also be very helpful for extracting information to the scoring system 
or for any other purposes like an
automatic figure identification for the FPS processing of the free unknown 
sequences.

Right now the figure chooser shows all figures without discrimination.
Change this so it shows which figures fit in the selected position in the 
sequence.
Could show with (light) green outline.

Increase speed by:
only rechecking the figure that’s changed

Android with Opera or Firefox

Make sure figure starts do not overlap, even without user spacing.
As this does not promote correct sequence shaping by the user, maybe just make 
sure the figure starts don't overlap so they can be dragged (see issue #17)

The queue mechanism used in Olan is quite useful, particularly for building 
free unknown sequences ( or even
free sequences). After having enter all the individual figures in the queue, 
you can get them one by one in the
appropriate order to build your one free unknown sequence. You can easily build 
first sub sequences with figures
that fit very well together to finally get your full sequence. You can proceed 
with a trial and error method easily
with this queue mechanism

OpenAero does not work on:
Android default browser

Need function to mark figures as connectors in Unknowns.
The @ symbol could be good for this.    

Add sub-sequence handling. This is especially usefull for entering separate 
figures for e.g. the Free Unknown.
Use the same notation as OLAN: //

this is very important for developing free unknowns, where figures may want to 
be inserted in an existing sequence as you are working on the free unknown

Check upon startup if the latest version of OpenAero is run. If not, display 
info in top bar.

There should be posibility to control/manage/view/check (whatever)
of rules version. If they are updated or not. At least some info should
be given.

In this string
32a1 c''24'''' q m- [-20,7] 4% -ic```````+++``````` ~iv5s^ b'''4 h 4%
````````2``rc o
figure 5. - try to decrement second roll before roll gap to have exit
line below entry line. It's jumping bit. Then also try to expand exit
line length.

Need to provide some example sequences

This is just an idea for improvement. What about to put some
sequence info into sequence string. For example...if is it glider or
power, which rules should be aplied for checking or maybe more. It can
be like by adding {g, CIVA2013, pilotName, aircraft, date} or something
to the beginning or to the end of the string. This is what I always hate
on the OLAN. To click through different windows to fill those details.
Maybe you can have small button on the right side of the sequence string
to show full sequence definition. It can be a also very good function
for API. You just send string through API interface and receive whole
seuence immediatelly, with filled details.

When using OpenAero on Google Chrome it's not possible to open sequences or 
open a logo from a file.

This is an interesting way of using the tool for documenting (together with the 
next point). The file
“Liaison_WAAC_2012_Inc_2” illustrate this kind of usage (This file show the 
average mark received by each
linking figures used in the sequence. The number in bracket is the number of 
marks).
It’s also very interesting for entering, checking and publishing or 
transmitting to pilots the list of figures selected
for building the free unknown sequences. If pilots get the produce file in a 
computer format they can use the
queue mechanism (as describe in the previous point) without having to enter 
manually the figure and getting
away from errors. The files “WAAC_2012_Figures_Inconnu_1” and 
“EAC_2012_Figures_Inconnu_1” illustrate
this kind of usage.
An improvement over Olan will be the ability to select and change when 
appropriate the number of lines and
columns of the grid
After loading in Olan the .seq files mentioned in this paragraph, you should 
select View/figures in a grid.

File saving does not always work the same depending on OS/browser combination

Connector figures can not be created or edited from the figure editor.
Need a 'connecting figure' option.

Add drag & drop of figures.
This could be done by grabbing the start of a figure and then moving it.

This is more a matter of organisation. As you know, developing a piece of 
software is an important task, but
maintaining and making the required changes year after year is often a more 
time consuming task. In my opinion
it seems more efficient to have a separate file for each individual country 
rule set. This allows each person in
charge of its country rule set to make the needed changes independently of the 
others and without interfering.
Each file can then be centralised by you and offer as an update to all the 
users. Gathering everything in a single
file, even if it’s more efficient in terms of computing efficiency (but I 
don’t think that will be a big deal, with the
processing power available today), will be more difficult to manage and put on 
you a greater workload.
Also, as the rules changes almost every year, and sequence are often used or 
re-used over several years, it’s
interesting to still have access have to the valid rule set of the past years. 
Having used Olan for several years
now, this proved to be a particularly interesting feature. The Olan file 
organisation with its naming convention
ruleyy-xxxxx.txt (yy standing for the year and xxxxx for the country rule set) 
was really appropriate. I will even
go further by asking for a figuresyy.txt file structure for the figures file. 
This is particularly interesting when big
changes takes place like the change in Aresti number in 2012. This will allow 
compatibility between older and
more recent file sequence.

as openaero stands, if you select a base figure which has an inverted entry 
following an upright exit, the figure does not display, but shows as a x box 
invalid figure.

olan would autocorrect and ask you to set inverted entry or exit. when 
developing sequences it is valuable to have the figure display, otherwise you 
make a change in one figure, and the next one disappears into a red x box.

Besides the straight-line move to a new position [x,y] , also add curves for 
moving to a new position, e.g. (x,y)

Separate figures can hang in some cases.

For example:
b of h.4.~ 1 m2 1j1 11>32ic. 6s.... 2rc+```````` [4,19] ~~rp24- -o-

Batch support for checking multiple sequences should be added
