Pick data file: augment data with tagged object name

Thomas Pfleger Mar 7, 2005

Hi Bill,

would it be possible to add the object name to the ASCII file
created / overwritten when clicking on an object? Add: as I'd like to
parse the file it would be *very* desireable to have it tagged to
ease identification. An entry like "object=NGC 891" at an (arbitrary)
position in the "pick file" would be ideal.

Background: I'm planning to write a little app to poll for such pick
files, retrieve the object name and try to open my own planner/logger
called Eye&Telescope (aka E&T) with this info. As there are many
Guide users among the E&T users this would be a real benefit for them.

Regards,
Thomas
