WPTCAT - Route to Waypoint - Suggestion

[bpasch]

I just installed FF 1.06b1 and activated the "Route to Waypoint" function.
A very nice and useful feature.
I have created a new category in my Address Book named "RouteDest" in which I place copies of waypoints to which I want to route. This leaves the address entries in their original categories without scrambling everything .

There is one thing which I find not so good:
FF lists the waypoints on the buttons always with "firstname lastname". This is the same annoying habit as with QueFind. You have to remember the person's first name to find it. On the FF buttons I have the problem that with long firstnames I don't see the last name on the button. Example: "John and Mathil..."
This may be suitable for Americans where everyone calls everybody by firstname. But this is not what we are used to on continental Europe.

Would it be possible to make FF configurable in that point?
Example: wptcat=RouteDest,0,LF; show Lastname Firstname
or: wptcat=RouteDest,0,FL; show Firstname Lastname (default as is now)
or: wptcat=RouteDest,0,L; show Lastname only
or: wptcat=RouteDest,0,C; show Company only

Any other ideas?

isn't that because you're all very closely related? :rolleyes:

Here is something I hadn't noticed before. The Find:Waypoints only list entries that appear on the maps currently loaded.

I wanted to check the order that QueFind displays waypoints, but only a few showed up. Must be because I only have local maps loaded, and I am away from my home location where most of my waypoints are.

Note that wayQue now has a copy function. I was skeptical about adding that feature, but it appears to be useful for this purpose.

Copy function? how does that work?
