I have a wish for a new feature to do with the filing system of the program. The problem Im coming across for me is a couple of things. First I must explain the process I use.
A consultant uses the program to do before travel time runs and counts. Then he gives me the file from there I make seven copies, one for each timing plan in which I use a different cycle lenghts for different times of the day, all seven are then put into a folder with the systems name. If you count the backup files that is fourteen different files in the folder for one system. When I copied the files the runs are on each copy and I then pull up each copy depending on the cycle lenght needed for the time of day. After using the program to figure out timings, I then grab only one of the files of fourteen to give to the consultant so he can do after travel time runs. Finally he gives that file back in which I store on our server and is used for future documentaion,but those runs are on only one file and more people than just myself are looking at these files.It can become messy for us pretty quick.
Now what Im asking for is can everything be put into one file? That would be one file that could hold all the different cycle lenghts and then the travel runs would be stored with all cycle lenghts. Everything you do for that system would be in one file. After you open the program you would pick the system and in that system you would pick the time of day/cycle lenght you want to work with.No matter what time of day/cycle lenght you pull up you would have the travel time runs you can click on and pull up which ones you need. This would help us greatly mainly for final documentation and when future signals are added to the system you grab that one file and run with it!
As always TSPPD is a great program keep up the good work!
