I have been adding indicators for all plugin screens to be able to easily tell if a plugin is loaded.

Thanks!

will do john. I'll get it out later today

To all who are having problems saving new maintenance items:

i simply can not reproduce this bug! I thought it was something to do with the new RR version but i just updated to 10/09 and still dont have the issue. Please post or PM me your maintenance tracker.ini files. If you have at ANY point manually entered data to that file its very possible that the format is off and that could cause the whole maintenance side of the plugin to fail. I'm making it a priority this week to tidy up RRVM so please take a moment to provide your .ini files.

Hey Sonic,
A while back I told you I was having problems with my GPS throwing out bogus data, and you said that it would be fairly simple to have the plugin toss this data out. While you're cleaning up (if it's not too much trouble) can you add this in? I totally understand if you don't wanna mess with it for the sake of one guy that's having trouble.
Thanks!

i have added a kick-out that measures distance over time. If the distances indicate you're traveling more than 150mph the distance value is ignored. I hope this helps with large distance errors, but some of the smaller ones due to gps "crawl" may continue to get through. If anyone would like to discuss ideas on reducing these values i'd definitely listen.

Thanks Sean, much appreciated!

I have a new screen for the next release that will have all the plugins buttons to access them on one screen. Next to each one I have an indicator to show if the plugin is loaded and active or not.

i got this done but never had the chance to upload it because i was fighting a nasty trojan all day long... but what should the indicator be called? "RRVM"? "RRVM_Loaded"?

1. Next time try using Durex.

2. I say use whatever the prefix of your labels, buttons and indicators are. Or maybe do both. (no harm in doing both)

All my PI's have a ind named what the PI's name is(ie name of dll file)

As I said in another thread

RRGas, RRUpd8,RRTrafficcam,RRPetrol all have labels which return their version.

<plugin prefix>_version

or

<plugin prefix>_program

ie

rrgas_version

or

rrtc_program

However t I got a bit p!$$3d around that time as no one from the development team even bothered looking at the standards we were trying to set up so gave up.

I will add Indicators which are the same as the plugin name for the others.
