[amsat-bb] SatPC32 V. 12.8d - Satellites Source Files issues

[Stefan Wagener]

If you go in "satellite" menu you see three columns. First one is your
source file (keps), second one called "Available" are the satellites in
that source file and third one is "Selected [Standard]". If you look at the
name of that column, there is a reason why it is called [Standard]. This is
your first group, it is called "Standard" and is default group! If you
click on "Groups" you see other groups. The first one is "Standard". Each
group, like your "Standard" Group can only be associated with *one* source
file at a time! So if you selected "amateur.txt" as your source file and
selected satellites out of that list in the third column, your "Standard"
group is now associated with amateur.txt. once you click "Ok". Every time
you select another source file and new satellites and hit 'OK" you point
the Standard Group to that new sources file and satellites and the old one
are not accessible anymore since your standard group is now associated with
the new source file and new satellites. Now, since you have the option to
assign different groups or create new ones, you can associate them with
different source files and satellites and just switch the group. Please
also read the manual!
