[AWIPS #HLZ-775326]: Bug Report *Mac* Version AWIPS 20.3.2-0.3

Hi there,

> I've been using the AWIPS beta on VMware Player using Centos/Linux and I 
> recently switched 
> over to the Mac version.  Since Apple Mac is my primary platform, thank you

I'm sorry to hear our website link isn't working. Can you tell me if this link 
works for you?

> The bug in the Mac version—

> The Tools: Put Home Cursor command does not allow for any custom location.

Okay, yes, I am able to recreate this, and this is definitely something we 
should be able to fix!

> One more thing relating to font size.    
> On the CENTOS-Linux version under DISPLAY OPTIONS,  selecting magnification

For this one, what resource are you referring to?  The Home Location from the 
previous note?
Could you please attach a screenshot of what you're seeing?

> Not bugs, but suggestions for improving usability of this version.
>
> 1 Add a Command Key Shortcut combination for Load and Save Displays.  Like

> Command-S

We can certainly look into this.

> 2. Increase the default dimensions of the Load and Save Displays dialog box 
> so the display
> names are fully visible.

Can you send another screenshot to show what you're seeing?  To me, I can see 
the full names,
but I'd like to see what it looks like for you please.

> Thank you for all your work and for making AWIPS available outside the NWS!!

Thanks for these suggestions.  I'm going to add them into our v20 reporting 
form, but please
let me know if that other link at the beginning of this email works for you, 
and if so, I'll
update our website.
Thank you.
