Would it be possible to use the annotation catalogs that you have provided and those I have installed for this Goto feature?

Hi Don,

isn't this already there? Press the 'More...' button next to the short list of targets to select from a much longer list that I think includes your custom targets too.

cheers,

Robin

Clicked on More and Select a Target window opened and after a bit an error window came up asking if I wanted to wait for SC or Close etc.

Hi,

I think the problem is too many targets in your custom lists. It tries to load them up and then put them into a list that you can filter and sort, and it is taking too long.

Could you share your custom catalog files with me - I will use them to test to try to find a way to make this usable with a large number of custom items.

cheers,

Robin

The file that was too large was mag17. The smaller file mag16 loads ok.

files are in cloudy nights forum:

Hi Don,

I had a look at this and see the same sort of freezes, although on my machine it needs the mag18 database before the problem becomes really bad. I have some tweaks that improve the performance by at least a factor of 2 on large lists that I will be putting into the next SharpCap 4.1 beta update. For me, that makes the mag17 list pretty usable and the mag18 one usable if you are patient (as it is slow updating)

cheers,

Robin
