Mission Editor-extras

Open AndKe opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

Adding these buttons:

"Add Yaw for each WP": This add (optionally, starting from with selected waypoint) a YAW command for each waypoint. This is useful for copters flying a grid/mission with a preset heading (in order for a sensor to face it's target )

"Deleye Yaw" : Clean up mission, removing all Yaw commands.

"Change WP Altitude": Allows to enter a offset for all WP altitudes in mission, useful when changing the mission slightly up/down

"Change Frame": Let the user quickly change the whole missions altitude frame - for example from REL to ABS or AGL.

tridge recently added some commands to change the Frame.

We'll probably add something to change a arbitrary field somehow.

One problem with this PR as-written is that it will affect all waypoints rather than a range. At least on Linux you can select a range of rows. I think it would be a far better interface to be able to select a range and only affect those cells.

tridge will need to be happy with the extra screen real-estate taken up by the new buttons.

Yes, the "from" behavior is by design, as one often want to keep flying nose-first to the data gathering area, and then fly sideways.
You mention selection is an option in Linux, - yes, but I have no clue is that has some reason to be different in win/mac . Of course, I could have made it "for selected waypoints"

The real-estate has been vacant for years, and it is time to use it for something useful :)

@AndKe if it turns out to be tricky to use selected cells then I'd be fine with it always doing all rows

@tridge The current way it works is "all", or - "from selected" (if a row is selected) This is working fine for us (who are the only users of this that I am aware of) :) Would you say changing the way it works to "selected cells" is required? Or is that just a slight preference you have? Thank you.
