Attach points no longer working in tracker

Hi,

As of 6.0.5, and continuing in 6.0.6 the attach points modal window does not appear when you press the attach point button for a protractor.

This is a major issue for me as I use tracker to measure body joint angles.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, Sean. Do you still have an older version on your computer that you can switch to? If not, I just added links to the version 6.0.3 installers on the Tracker home page at https://physlets.org/tracker/.

I just now fixed this bug so it will be working in version 6.0.7 :-) Not sure when that will be released, though...

Doug

I fixed this issue and have posted an updated "beta" tracker.jar on Tracker's home page.  The link is in the Recent Tracker Versions section part way down on the left. Just copy the jar into your existing Tracker home (shown in About Tracker) and either rename it to tracker.jar to replace the existing, or choose it as the preferred jar in the Preferences.

Sean, you should consider submitting some of your motion analyses to ComPADRE at https://www.compadre.org/OSP/items/suggest.cfm . I suspect you have some high-quality video and some very interesting Tracker measurements and/or models! Do you already have some you use in student labs? Doug

Cheers Doug,

I'll take a look and see if we have the appropriate forms to release the videos.

Regards,
Sean
