Gpredict User Manual
request at http://sourceforge.net/projects/gpredict asking us to implement
better handling of passwords in gpredict – if enough people complain about
this we will eventually have to do something about it.
6.3 Semi-Automatic Update from Local Files
If you can not update the TLE files using the internet, you still have the
option to perform a semi-automatic update using local files. In order to
update the TLE data from local files, you can do the following:
1. Acquire the fresh TLE files and store them in a directory. The files
must be in the NASA two-line format.
2. Select the
Edit
→
Update TLE
→
Update from local files
menu
entry in the menu bar.
Gpredict will then ask you to specify a directory where the fresh TLE files
are located, see figure 6.2. Click the button, select
Other...
in the list of
entries, and find the directory where the fresh TLE files are located. Click
OK and you'll see the same progress dialogue as in the case of updating
from the internet.
If you plan to update the TLE from local files often, it is recommended to
use a dedicated directory for that purpose. Gpredict will indeed remember
the last chosen directory till the next time you use this function. Moreover,
if you for some reason are going to use multiple TLE source directories,
you may consider storing these directories as bookmarks in the file selector
dialogue.
6.4 Manual Update
This function has not been implemented yet and is currently disabled.
