Changes in this version from previously published version
Features:
–
Improvements:
- Bring back multi-select in task participant list, to set multiple pilots to DNF, ABS etc: Keep the Ctrl key pressed to select
multiple pilots, up to the last one where you right-click to select the action to be performed. - Task import: Only rescore imported tasks if absolutely necessary (won’t be in most cases). This way, even if FS for example changed
its distance calculation since the imported competition was scored, the original results will be used. - Task import: If imported task has no name, add T to distinguish the different tasks.
