Some of the description texts appear to be misformatted, though. One

Yes that's because the properties file of this survey didn't define the
title attribute. Should use some sensitive fallback value in this case.
Suggestions:
- a slider to change brightness (range 0..3?) Compare Mellinger survey
with the built-in MW brightness...
- while waiting for the survey to appear: an indicator bar that
signals loading of data.
- Allow mixing with Milky Way? Currently you are replacing MW. Maybe
some users want to overlay. Add a switch for OpenGL Blending mode?
Yes, I will try to make that next week. The indicator is specially
needed since some surveys take quite a long time to load.
I see the DSS is now integrated. Do you see any chance to allow local
installation of - say 1-2 - surveys in field notebooks for offline
work? Same goes for planets. If not online, the standard texture must
remain available, of course.
I haven't tried yet but it should be possible. I will add some settings
entries to allow to specify custom hips or hipslist urls.
I have not looked into the code yet. For synchronisation via
RemoteSync it would be required that the survey name must be
transmitted as StelProperty.
For the moment it is only exposed as a normal Qt property. Is that not
enough?
I will probably change the code a bit though, to support multiple
enabled surveys at the same time. In that case the api will expose a
list of HipsSurvey objects and then for each there will be a 'visible'
property.

Guillaume
