Summary0001936: Print path bad and not able to set high resolution print for planisphere
DescriptionThe problem I encountered was trying to print. The save path is bad because it is in AppData.
Here is the procedure
File>Print>Print chart>Printer setup>Path to save the file:
C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Skychart\tmp
However,
"AppData" folder was hidden after my Windows 10 update and had to be unhidden. Can there be another default path?

Changing the "Path to save the file:" to another location failed. It did save cdcprint.png in the skychart\tmp folder.

How about letting users add a name instead of having the same cdcprint file be overwritten? - Can file overwriting be prevented?

Print the Planisphere is broken too.
Got 729 x 729 pixels when print to higher resolution.
Setting to a higher resolution did not work.
Steps To ReproduceFile>Print>Print chart>Printer setup>Path to save the file:
TagsNo tags attached.

OK to put the file in the home directory by default. This is done by this change: https://github.com/pchev/skychart/commit/792d37c592801219ee49ea5b0de1cfaee6251119

This only affect a new installation as the path you can set in "Printer setup" is saved in the configuration.

But you get an error message when you try to change it?
Can you upload here a screenshot with the error message, probably something like "Invalid path: ... ".

At first the intention of this function is to make a temporary file to open in the configured application, typically an image editor, to make a few change before to print or save the file elsewhere.
This is why the default directory is hidden and the file name always the same to avoid to accumulate useless old files.

But I agree I can add a checkbox option in "Printer setup" for "Ask for file name" if you intend to use this function another way.
Do this work for you?

I just try a 3000x3000 planisphere printed to cdcprint.png and it work fine. This not change from another chart.
Are you sure you use the Print function and not "File/Save image..." ?
