Extending width of the column 9 "Notes"

[Dieter]

Hello Tim,

I already asked for this and you answered "you can already write a major essay in there (it is multi-line)"
Basically this is correct, but following "problem" occurs:

- I create userwaypoints (see attached short example) and I wrote a "longer" description in column 9 "Notes".
- Now the userwaypoints are set and they appear on PlanG map. Checking the description, the text appears completely as written before.

When installing PlanG again or installing a new version and importing my csv datas following problem occurs:
Column 9 "Notes" cut my entries after 50 charcters. (as written in PlanG: Displayed on the map info popup Max 50 chars.)

Is it posible to change this in a future version to a higher amount of characters (maybe 100)?

Yeah, sorry I was thinking of a different table.

I can change that, but it's going to force everyone to redo their user waypoints.

[Dieter]

This would be excellent!   :)

Sorry for asking:
But why does this force everyone to redo their user waypoints?
What's the problem if it's possible to read 100 characters (instead of 50)?

[tim arnot]

Cos it changes the database format, so everybody's user waypoints will get deleted.

Ok, I understand.

But this shouldn't be a problem if a new PlanG version will be published. Everbody has to import self designed userwaypoints or others again.
Additionally a note could be published, what do do ...
