Abbrviated constellation names revert to long names every lauch

[Martin Lewicki]

V25.3

F4 -> Skycluture -> check "Abbreviated names"

IAU abbreviated names appear -ok

F2 -> Configuration -> "Save view" -> Save setup

Reboot....

Constellation names are back to long names and need to be checked again.

Edited config.ini

"Abbraviated names = "true"

Saved

Reboot

Back to long names again!

Generally, what's the order of dominance among:
o Commands in startup.ssc?
o Options in config.ini?
o Options on the command line?
... which might all be different.

Will there be a guide.pdf 25.3

Hi Paul,

Yes, of course.

With best regards, Alexander Wolf.

The sequence of initialisations is a bit convolved. Look into the code. Some command-line arguments override config.ini settings. startup.ssc is processed near the end of initialisations, but before shortcuts are set up from config.ini.

The User Guide which is packed together with 25.3 has a wrong number. Check the foreword, it should have a short section "... and on to V25.3" and many updates with V25.3 annotation in margin notes. In 25.4 the number should be fixed of course.
