Damien has been busy and there is more to come in the next days, including a science section covering some of the core concepts.

For me personally, the awesome work done by Joern on the WIKI/User Guide and Damien's website update along with Compare mode are the real big milestones for our project in 3.1.

I mucked up the link to the user guide in this post, I should have linked here.

works fine tks ;)

THANK YOU for the best, most sophisticated and advanced cycling power analysis software on the market. And it is all FREE. 

For some time I have stopped using all other power analysis apps. Golden Cheetah is light years ahead of competition, to be more precise looking at current offers there is no competition.

You guys are doing such amazing job for cycling community, there should be some kind of award for all of you. You are exploring untouched areas, creating the history of modern cycling training. I’m supper happy and lucky just being able to look at your work while is being done.

Thank You!

[Dr. Philip Skiba]

Well done, team. Very impressive to see a group of people from all over the world collaborating on an open source project like this.

[Kurt1232]

Congratulations and thanks a lot!

I would have following remarks and questions:

1. As I use German as language setting I found out that special characters are not displayed correctly as in 3.0.

2. After installation I was able to set different preferences, now after some restarts I don't have the preference menu any longer.

3. After every shut down/restart of CG I get a crash report.

4. I can not see any functionality using the Diagram option in the left pane. Nothing happens click on the displayed diagram types.

5. 

Just some remarks and thank again for that great work!

I think there is a problem .. we are still trying to work out why it goes wrong.

 

2. After installation I was able to set different preferences, now after some restarts I don't have the preference menu any longer.

I have seen that myself with QT5, I will check it.

 

3. After every shut down/restart of CG I get a crash report.

This is the "German bug" -- for some reason it only happens when using German language !

We are trying to work out why it happens.

 

4. I can not see any functionality using the Diagram option in the left pane. Nothing happens click on the displayed diagram types.

When you select a chart on the left pane you need to be looking at the 'Library' chart on the chart bar.

Cheers

Column resizing still bad. Its not great "during" resizing but its acceptable.. worst thing is if you constantly resize the window (I RDP in from different machines with different screen sizes so it auto resizes when you login) .. then the columns get totally messed up.

Rest of it is very good tho. Well done.

[Jon Beverley]

I've seen the problem with the column resizing incorrectly. I wonder if it is just a windows thing? Anyone on linux or mac seen it?

[Jörn R.]

Hi Kurt,

since GC is working fine in German for some/most? German setups (I am also reviewing the feedback on a German forum). It would be helpful to understand

which OS, which Version, which language setting of your OS (locale), which GC package (32bit/64bit) causes the problem. 

I am personally building/running on W7 (64bit version) - 32bit, 64bit QT4.6.8 / QT5.3.1 in changing variants both in German and English and never had such general problems 

(like 1.) - but some single feature related problems (mostly related to different behavior of QT4 vs. QT5 w.r.t. locale/special characters. 

Best regards.

Joern

[Tim]

Great work, can't thank the team enough. Only problem I have found so far (iMac with Lion 10.7.5 running Universal build) is that in the Aerolab tab, the bottom row of sliders with ETA and Offset are half off the bottom of the window? with no way to change.

@Jörn

I'm using Mountain Lion 10.8.3 with German language setting, CG 64 bit current final 3.1.

[Chris C.]

Could it a be a German carter in one of the ride that's causing the issue?

[Jörn R.]

Yes, char's > 127 in .Json files are causing a problem. I just had a chance to test on a Mac (10.9.4).

- Mac 3.1 64Bit - QT5

   - Loading a Json created on a Windows 7 machine with chars>127 caused the "special ?" thing to appear in the rides details

   - When editing a ride in GC and adding special chars worked fine for both saving and loading again

   - When trying to edit a file via TextEditor on Mac (and adding chars>127) made the .Json import totally fails (but this is not our use-case)

- Mac 3.1. Universal - QT4

   - Both loading the .Jsons created on the Win 7 with special characters and editing worked fine (editing the file directly on Mac has not been tested)

We had a similar effect for Windows before in different behavior of QT4 vs QT5 when loading .JSONs files with special characters.

This had been fixed, so that it worked both for QT4 and QT5 based builds (but I was not expecting different behavior on other platforms,

which now is proven to be true.)

So until this is fixed - just try the Universal Build for Mac (as said - it worked for me - but I could just do some limited testing). 

I will raise a message on GitHub for follow up outside

this post.

Is there any chance to get the preference menu back?

[Xplora213]

Will the science stuff cover the way CP is auto calculated? I'm struggling to understand the CP/FTP estimations, because they are around 30-40 watts lower than I would estimate using the NP figures. It would be nice to be able to track this estimated FTP over time as well, my recent FTP estimate is 50W lower than the estimate I get from the previous 6 months of data. I had to start a new athlete to make sure I was getting a sensible estimate that reflected my current performance (as I haven't ridden much for 3-4 months)

[Kurt1232]

Hi, any chance to get the preference menu back? Tried a new installation but got still the German version without preferences. Would also like to use the English one with the preference menu. But how can I obtain that?

Thanks!

[Mark Liversedge]

Its not something we can help with -- it is a QT bug, or possible a problem with QT translation files compiled in to the binary.

Until Joern has worked out the fix the only thing you can really do is switch from German translation.

Mark

[Kurt1232]

I would like to switch from German translation - but how? When I reinstall GC 3.1 I've still the German translation without the preference menu to switch back to English.

[Mark Liversedge]

Oh crikey of course !

Here is a build with a different version of QT (it is a 3.11 dev build for Mac using QT5.3.0RC1)

This should at least allow you to get to the preferences menu change it and then start up with the 3.1 official...

Mark

[Kurt1232]

Sorry, but I get also after installing 3.11 dev still the German version without the preference menu. 

[Mark Liversedge]

OK, so I've changed to german and it looks like due to translation the preferences menu is under tools->options; or in German Werkzeuge -> Optionen.

I suspect the translated menu item name doesn't move under  Preferences with QT5.

Mark

[Kurt1232]

Thanks a lot, it works!

[Adam Kennedy]

Hello Forum,

I'm going through the Tutorials that GC has on it's website but can't figure out how to add W'bal to the Rides view. Can someone point out the steps to add this? I'm in 3.1.0.

Thanks,

AMK

Under 'all chart settings' the W'Bal checkbox is in the Metrics group

A minor report from me:
I did a Power v Slope 2d plot and selected 'ignore zero' but that means no plots at zero slope. Should only ignore zero power, imo

[Pete from AUS]

[Mark Liversedge]

Totally ! Will fix that

Mark

[Xplora213]

The new Extended CP modelling seems to be very sensitive to certain changes depending on your ride history. I've had some blistering tempo/threshold efforts in the last month on this new athlete file, but only saw 230w CP. Rode 5 hours yesterday over 120kms, despite much lower average power and a strong 20 minute climb the modelled CP went up to 250! I didn't have any long rides in the athlete until then. Is this a weakness in the modelling? Regardless I really really like it (although I get no history in the KPI tracker).

Joern has just pushed a fix for column resizing that is really nice, it will be in 3.1 SP1.

Sometime before the end of the year.

Ohhh that works really well! Thanks Joern :)

Awesome that this is out!  I am looking forward to playing with it with my track sprinters!

Out of curiosity - has the import WKO+ feature been taken away?  I installed 3.1 on a Windows 7 32 bit PC and tried to grab my latest files in WKO+ (3.whatever is their last release), GC is refusing to import the files - it used to!

[Mark Liversedge]

WKO import still works, or at least it should !!

If you drag and drop them onto GC what happens ?

[Bleve]

Drag and drop works fine - but import from the import from file dropdown was complaining
