Open Source Command and Control Information System (C2IS)

ODINv2 - Open Source Command and Control Information System (C2IS)

ODINv2 is the successor of ODINv1. ODIN has been completely rewritten and enables a wide range of new features such as layer-level links and styles, searchable #tags for features, layers, symbols, etc.

Online collaboration

Replication in a distributed command and control environment by making use of the [matrix] ecosystem is here. Make sure to join our [matrix] ODIN Community Chat Room to get the latest news about ODIN.

Migration from ODINv1

ODINv2 will migrate all of your existing ODINv1 projects on first start. You will be able to further use ODINv1 in parallel but we will not update newly or updated projects after the first start of ODINv2. If you do have any ODINv1 layer files (*.json) you can import them at any time via drag&drop onto the ODINv2 map.

Configuration via environment

Self-Update

Self-Update is enabled by default and ODIN will check for newer versions. In order to disable Self-Update one can use the environment variable ODIN_SELF_UPDATE with a value of 0.

odinv2's Issues

Default layer name in OSD is not updated if name is changed

Steps to reproduce:

1. create new layer
2. make this layer the default layer (=> name is displayed in the OSD)
3. change name of new layer
4. => OSD is not updated

improve project list / get rid of fetch

The local-only version of the project list relies on the very responsive local level db. By introducing replication we added a lot of delay when fetching projects the user is invited to join.

• filtering is extremely slow since every keystroke re-schedules fetch
• handling "live" invitations results in an empty list because replication is undefined

This component should be re-written in order to get rid of these problems.

Allow disabling self-update

ODIN is often used in closed environments without connection to the githup releases url. In order to avoid error messages caused by not reaching the update url we should allow users to disable the auto-update option.

duplicate project entries

When a user joins a shared project we create a local project with the same id. Since the server may not be fast enough to remove the project from the list of invitations we sometimes end up with duplicate project entries.
We need to de-duplicate them in favor of the local projects.

MGRS markings on PDF map are covered by scale-bar

On the PDF map we place markings in the S/W and N/E corder in order to have reference points when used as an overlay on paper maps. The markings in the S/W are often covered by the scale-bar. To avoid this we should move the scale bar either to the top/left corner.

Creating a new project does not select entry in project-list

When a new project is created the project-list should focus the new entry and scroll it into view.

echelon text for boundaries should scale with text size

Since the text size is scalable now the echelon text for boundaries should follow and change with the text size as well.

add button/link to allow changing type of existing symbol

By employing CMD+K one can open the command palette and use it to change the type of an existing symbol. This is kind of a hidden feature since it is documented nowhere and there is no button/link to open it.

We should add a button/link in the properties pane in order to make this functionality more accessible.

Add tooltips to ease user navigation

We received user feedback that it's hard to get started with ODINv2. We should add tooltips to ease user navigation (we already had them in v1).

Shared projects with detailed permissions

As of today everyone that has joined a shared project can add new shared layers and invite others to the project.

It should be possible to define roles like

• user: can join the project and add some layers
• manager: rename the project and invite users to the project / kick users from the project

splash window does not remember its size and position

The splash window should remember it's most recent position and size on the display (as project related windows do).

Different Map Layer

How can I implement different map layer. Satellite, terrain or something else.?

remove label for single-segment line measurement

When measuring distances we add labels in the middle of each segment and on the end of the line string. For a single-segment line string we should avoid placing a second label at the end that contains exactly the same information.

port missing symbols from ODINv1

We still have groups of symbols that have not been ported to ODINv2:

• SKKM (National/Austria)
• ATP-112
• Task Verbs (National/Austria)

OS notifications are not shown

On some machines with Windows 10 the notifications for invitations are not shown.

show elevation for markers

If terrain data is available markers should show the elevation data

Shared layers with detailed permissions

As of today all users that joined a shared layer have the same permissions. Everyone is allowed tho add, update and remove features in the layer and can change the layer name, too. In addition everyone is allowed to invite others to join the shared layer.

It should be possible to share layers with detailed permissions. The creator and managers of the layer have the power to manage the power level of joined users to be one of

• user (read only)
• editor (add, update, remove) features
• manager (change name of layer, invite & kick users)

export layers is not reliable

When exporting a selected layer in many cases the first attempt results in an empty file. Subsequent attempts will create the desired content eventually. Looks like we have an async call that we do not wait for :-|

"ENOENT: no such file or directory" error during the migration of ODINv1 projects

A user managed to open ODINv1 without creating a preference file. During the migration to ODINv2 an error occured:

(node:17623) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/home/USERNAME/ODIN/projects/73d30a86-b57b-4a72-b3b6-9d6744660145/preferences.json'
(Use `electron --trace-warnings ...` to show where the warning was created)
(node:17623) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection. This error originated either by throwing inside of an async function without a catch block, or by rejecting a promise which was not handled with .catch(). To terminate the node process on unhandled promise rejection, use the CLI flag `--unhandled-rejections=strict` (see https://nodejs.org/api/cli.html#cli_unhandled_rejections_mode). (rejection id: 1)

We need to check the existence of files more accurately.

Visualize elevation profile for any line string or polygon

After introducing terrain / elevation data with #41 the next step would be the visualization of elevation profiles for linestrings and polygons:

• user selects any measurement or linestring-based (bearing, route, boundary, ...) or polygon-based (area) symbol
• users clicks on "generate elevation profile"
• the elevation profile should be displayed

Examples:
RechenRaum VOIBOS
How to draw elevation profile for your path
OpenLayers Extensions Elevation Profile

Entering/leaving fullscreen mode renders error message

When fullscreen mode is changed, main process pops up an error message, but fullscreen mode is changed regardless.

TypeError in SearchIndex if shared feature is deleted remotely

To reproduce:

• Shared Project with shared layer
• at least one feature in the shared layer
• switch to layer-content scope
• delete feature remotely

"radius" property can be changed even though the feature is locked

Even though the feature is locked one can change the radius of a range fan - circular:

temporary files in restricted environments (MS Windows)

Some clients are very restrictive regarding executable files. On MS Windows the current electron installer creates a setting where files are extracted/expanded into the user's temporary folder. The usage of these files is forbidden in restricted areas, thus the installer needs to extract them into the %PROGRAM_FILES% folder during the installation.

label of circular range fan is not updated if radius is modified by dragging the handle on the circle

The circular range fan updates the label correctly if one uses the properties field but it gets out of sync if the user drags the handle on the ring using the mouse. The property value changes correctly.

Make is easy to set value of DTG property to now()

If a symbol receives a position update the DTG should get updated as well. In order to do this as quickly and accurate as possible we should add a button near the DTG properties field that sets the value of the DTG to now(). The Format of the DTG should be the military format DDHHMMTMMMYY (eg 151557Bsep23).

auto-update: improve rendering of "new version available" message

The auto-updater presents the "update available" message which is HTML content. Currently the content is not rendered ad HTML but as a regular text.

text styling for tactical graphics

Since the text of some tactical graphics (like objective, phase lines, etc) might be hard to read on some map backgrounds we should provide a styling option per layer that allows the user to

• change the font size
• set the font weight to bold

upgrade OpenLayers to v7.2.x

We do have an issue with the print preview where the movement of the mouse pointer does not correspond with the movement of the map. This seems to be related to an OpenLayers issue CSS transform scale interferes with interactions

Zoom dependent layers

Setting a zoom level for a layer to be displayed would allow modeling sites with greater detail without clutter when zoomed out

export and import layers

In order to archive, share, ... layers and its content there should be a way to export a single layer to a (JSON) file. The same file should be importable (via Drag&Drop onto the map) and create a CLONE of the original data.

command palette should change symbol type on select (+enter) instead of focus/hover

When using the command palette the symbols change immediately. This may lead to unwanted changes since the change gets applied even if one scrolls the list of symbols available. The only way back is the UNDO function.

We should only apply the change upon a user interaction like an explicit click on a symbol.

Update nodejs version in build process to 18.x to match Electron's version

Since we updated to Electron 26.1.0 we should updated the nodejs version in our build process as well.

Checking for updates fails if ODIN was installed via an MSI package

Looks like the auto-update feature is not intended to work for MSI based installations. Electron-builder does not include the file app-update.yml. I'd suggest to revert to an EXE-based installer for MS Windows.

OSM nominatim url deprecated

The URL we use for searching for places is deprecated. See https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search/

implement MGRS graticule

A MGRS graticule is essential for the communication with troops working with paper-based maps.

layer styles: changing outline color resets outline width

If the the outline width is set to a specific value and one changes the outline color afterwards the value for the width is changed as well. This problem is not observed the other way around.

remote projects are not shown if there is no local project

If replication is enabled and there is no local project remote (invited) projects are not shown, too.
