@bdbcat Can you advise Mike? Thanks. @mguryan Mike I'm making two new pages for Tracks for your use.
Thanks. |

"Tracks are extended as a single segment if they share the extending point." I think this might be after some pause or stopping. Then the track continues uninterrupted without an "empty" segment if when it starts at the most recent point of the previous track. Why not test it and see what actually happens? You'll be able to describe it better. |

I would like to use VDR to test some aspects of tracks that I find confusing in the manual. Is it possible to spoof the VDR playback to start at a specific time, such as 5 minutes before midnight? |

Hmm, I hadn't thought of this problem and your idea. TransmitterDan has a VDRplayer that uses scripts. You might be able to modify the script. Alsothis might be a perfect time to contact Tony who is the Author of Javascript_pi, because he has just built a script for a VDR Player and I will bet that he'd really like someone to test it, and he might even modify it for you. You would need the javascript plugin and his script for that. I hope that is a help. I haven't used his VDR script yet. |

Just got in from my trip. Driving home this weekend. Captured more than
enough tracks to finish the writeup.

Greetings,
I'm an editor for the 5.9 user manual and have a few questions about the operation and use of tracks. Some clarification of the existing text is needed.
Existing text:
=== Sorting ===
Tracks can be sorted by clicking the column headers. Tracks are extended backward, based on the time-stamp sequence, a track is selected, which ends as the latest one before the start of current track. Tracks are extended as a single segment if they share the extending point. If they have no common point a new "empty" segment, with no visible track, is added.
I understand sorting. No issues there. The text beginning with the second sentence is difficult to understand. What is meant here?
=== Joining ===
Joining two tracks (i.e. extending a track) results in just track one remaining. It may look like two tracks but the Route Manager treats it as a single track.
When I combine 2 tracks, the older dated track disappears from the track list and a new, combined track with "underscore plus" appended is added to the track list. The combined track appears to be a single track.
===Merge Selected Tracks===
When merging 2 tracks, they become one track. The older track disappears from the track list. The newer track retains the name, rather than creating a new track entry as when joining tracks. Is this the expected behavior?
Thanks for your help.
