Option to fix the cursor on sounding
-
An option in right click pop up menu to fix the cursor on sounding will be really useful. As is, it follows the mouse all the time, so you can't freeze it where you want it and keep all the curves and annotations that track it. Makes it impossible to do screenshot with a 3rd party tool.

Hi @hangInThere thank you for reporting this. It is not planned at the moment, however, did you try to make a screenshot of the whole screen? I tested 3rd party tool and it was okay.

Only if I set sufficient delay (7s) on the screen capture tool (Screenshot by Emmanuele Bassi et al. on Linux) and after selecting the capture area quickly bring my cursor to position exactly where I need it and wait ... snap. This is what I get, which is good:
.
But it would be far better if the Sounding Forecast tool can just let the user drag the dot by depressed left mouse button and leave it where the mouse button is released. -
On the phone, there's a different problem with the Sounding Forecast spot control: the spot is right under the finger but I can't see it. So I always get it at the wrong place. See the screenshot:
I would suggest to create a whisker from 2 points, the 1st point selecting the spot, the 2nd point letting the finger drag the whisker.

One more suggestion on the Sounding Forecast: to add timestamp. Currently there is none. -
@hangInThere okay, thank you for all suggestions about sounding, we will take it into consideration when an update of this feature is planned.

One more suggestion: instead of the user having to place the spot where the lifted dry adiabatic parcel temperature reaches its dew point, place it automatically and draw the dry & moist adiabatic curves thru this spot automatically. Saves all the trouble for the user. -
@Ondřej-Šutera
Yet another suggestion: a button to save the skew T-chart graph in a PNG file. -
@hangInThere
Another suggestion: Let user create a list of locations and a list of times of the day and run sounding forecast skew-T charts for each location-time pair and save to PNG files named after the location and time stamp.This is a very economical alternative on storage space than taking snapshots of wind maps for all altitudes and saves time. Currently, I have to manually right click on each location, call up my screenshot tool, draw the rectangle, place the spot meticulously on the temperature curve, and enter the name of the PNG file to save to, very time consuming. 40 years after common people write BASIC programs to automate chores, this shouldn't happen.
