OpenKneeboard Tutorial and Tips

@Atlas oKB shouldn’t need reloading; it should be notified on file change by Windows apparently -
“For file- and folder- based tabs and pages, OpenKneeboard asks windows to tell it when the file/folder is modified, then automatically reloads the tab/page; if this isn’t working for you, could you open a thread in #help over in the openkneeboard discord?”
-
@rubbra I didn’t know that, I’ll ask. Thanks!
-
@Atlas no problem - the bit in quotes was from the developer of openkneeboard on the FL discord

Hello OpenKneeboard users,
wondering if anybody interested in getting kneeboards generated from briefings with EZBoards, to be used in OpenKneeboard?
It’s easy to do.
Just tell me how you would use the briefing pages in Openkneeboard.
Probably better to have two separate pages instead of a double-page currently generated by EZBoards?
Then would you put them in a folder and open the folder in one OKB tab or open them in separate tabs? -
@Logic i just use EZ boards with open kneebord since January. Make them to generate two seperate Pages.

Hi, yes.
Best to use separate pages instead of double ones.
Thanks -
@Nightflyer Hi, are you saying you’re already doing that with two pages? Are you using the commented part of EZBoard code for this? And if so, how did you setup the Openkneeboard tab?

Hello.
I´m trying to use right mouse button to change between KNEEBOARD_T.O. BMS1F-16CM-1CL-1 carpets, but mouse cursor is transparent to openkneeboard.
Somebody knows what is the option I need to activate?.
Thx

@Skorp mouse doesn’t work in OpenKneeboard…you need to bind keys.
With openkneeboard you can only use a tablet’s pen (I have wacom Intuous S).
With that one you can also write notes and so on the kneeboard (ex 9 line, or tick checlist stuff). -
@Virus ahh, okay… I ask because I see this video and in seg 45 It seems Micro uses mouse over yellow cards.
-
@Skorp I believe that would be a tablet he’s using. The video states a Huion H640P tablet - which are dirt cheap.
-
@CriticalMass ahhh ok, then he push in the physical tablet .
What a pity, if we can use the mouse (or a blind key) It would be perfect
Thankyou
-
@Skorp You can use a joystick button, keyboard key , etc … to cycle through pages, even switch documents. It just takes a little configuration.
-
@Wheelchock I supposse you said beetween folders and documents inside this folders
Yes, I have configured these, but in this case, if I’m not wrong is to make the same inside a PDF file. That is my question, to navigate inside checklist PDF file, as in the video.
But It seems Openkneeboard doesn’t support that
Regards
-
@Skorp yes you are correct, openkneeboard doesn’t support navigation inside the PDF files. I thought you were just referring to the documents themselves.
-
@Wheelchock Who knows in a near future

Hello.
I´m trying to use Openkneeboard in U3 with Korea theater and no Departure, Altenate and Arrival charts.
In Balkans runs fine.
Any idea?
Thank you

How are you loading the charts into the tabs? It’s not automatic, unless you have set up a folder and drop the charts into.
-
@CriticalMass I´m using WDP Converter 1.0.2

What is that?! Where did you find it?
The BMS Folder: line points to a parent directory, is it smart enough to select the Departure, Altenate and Arrival charts? (I don’t have Balkans installed)
What is your workflow to get the charts into OpenKneeboard?
