Bug ID: 443653
Summary: Find Object in Pointing Menu Can't Find Objects Loaded
by User with Only One Letter Preceding Constellation
Product: kstars
Version: 3.5.5
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: mutla...@ikarustech.com
Reporter: rmiller...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
KStars gives the user the ability to load a user created catalog via Configure
KStars. If star names are loaded with only one letter identifying the star,
e.g., R And, S Ant, the stars do not appear in the Pointing -> Find Object
menu. If the object has two letters (SS Ant), that object does appear in Find
Object. The reason for this importance is that the first variable star in a
constellation always starts with the single letter R.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a CSV file with star names, RA/Dec, other useful info, like magnitude
2. In the Settings -> Configure KStars -> Catalogs page, select "Manage Deep
Sky Catalogs." Although this is supposedly for Deep Sky objects, you can use
this function for any object you wish.
3. Create a catalog, like a CSV copy of the variable star catalog, where some
of the stars have only one letter before the constellation abbreviation (e.g.,
R And) and other stars have two letters before the constellation (RR And).
4. Go through the steps to load the user defined CSV catalog. Process is very
straightforward.
5.While still in the Create Catalog page, look for the single letter star. It's
there.
6.Go to Pointing -> Find Object page. Look for that star. Cannot be found.
7.Go back to the Create Catalog page. Change the star name, e.g., make R And ->
RQ And
8.Return to pointing menu. RQ And can be found.
