Specifying chart files to search in

Scroll Prev Top Next More

Before activating a Chart Search you can specify what chart files to search in.

By default the very first time Chart Search is used the search will be done in all chart files in the Documents/Astro Gold folder.

Thereafter the search will always be done there, until a different folder or chart file is selected, in which case the search will be done in all chart files in the last selected folder, or just in the last selected chart file.

To change where the search will be done click on the Files button, which will drop down a menu...


Dialog; Chart Search; Chart Details - files to search

 

a)The top of the menu will contain a list of all previous locations you searched in, with the currently selected location ticked.

b)Simply clicking on any of the other previous locations will select it for this search.

c)Alternatively click on Select Folder to view a list of folders from which you can select one.


Dialog; Chart Search; Chart Details - select a folder

 

 

-OR-

 

d)Click on Select File to view a list of files from which you can select one.

Initially the files in the "Documents/Astro Gold" folder will be displayed.

You can change the folder displayed by clicking on the drop-down list at the top in the center of the dialog, and selecting a different folder. Keep doing that until you've found the folder that has the chart files in it you are interested in.

In the folder all the files will be displayed regardless of their type. However you want to only select a file ending in the extension .SFcht - these are the AstroGold chart files. Selecting any other type will be a waste of time as they will not have any charts in them.


Dialog; Chart Search; Chart Details - select a file

 

e)Click on the Folder or File to search in. If it's a folder you select all chart files in that folder will be searched. If it's a single chart file you select obviously only that single file will be searched.

f)Click on the Select button.
