This is an interesting topic. While I use PanelPro almost daily, I rarely need to use decoder pro, so was not aware that this is a significant issue. Is it not...
You can download and import individual decoder files, but you need to know where to look for the files, where to put them, etc. What we're proposing is a...
... Most decoder definitions will work with reasonably recent versions of the program. Typically the most recent production version will handle the majority...
... If I understand your suggestion here, JMRI already does something close to this. When looking for a particular decoder definition, it looks first within...
Paul: The Dessk top short cuts should have been labeled "DecoderPro", "PanelPro" and 'SoundPro" when you installed JMRI. Those are the short cuts to start the...
... Sourceforge/JMRI are going thru a version control conversion right now, with CVS being the "old way", and SVN the "new", thus the concern to not tie new ...
Just an update Thanks Ken, Marcus, Lou, Jim and Sudro for your replies as you certainly helped out this newbie. Marcus, sorry, I took the easy way out for the...
Doug: Thanks. I think that worrying about a programming track embedded in the layout is really needed. Unless the standalone track and the PowerCab is a true...
... I think that you focused on the right aspect. The original request, as far as I understand, was to provide an easy way to update/add decoder definitions...
I have only just installed version 2.10 of Jmri in the last week so still on a high learning curve. Is there an easy way I can add Fleischmann decoders to the...
I am running WiThrottle on my iPhone but I am considering getting an older iPod touch as a dedicated wireless railroad throttle. My question is, will...
I guess I'm thinking more along the lines of "how do I find this new decoder", not "how do I update all of the decoder definitions". While the latter is also...
Hi Angus, All models of iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad can run WiThrottle. The only minimum requirement is the iOS has to be at least 3.1, and all models can...

Basically, most of us do not need more than a small percentage of the definitions available in each JMRI release. Myself I use primarily Digitrax, some TCS,...
All this is fine and good, but before you start adding download buttons, please consider that not all JMRI installs are on network computers. I know I have a...
