[APBeta] AstroPlanner V2.0b28 released

[Gary A. Ferguson]

Hmmm... I noticed this too. I thought it was because I was downloading a
bunch of images, but it was still pretty slow even after they finished. Not
unconfortably slow, but sure were a lot of repaints going on. I also noticed
another odd thing: while the images (44 of them) were downloading and
processing, I started another app. Periodically I would drag it's window
down to see the progress of the images. I noticed that if I dragged it
across the list of objects, they would scroll, as if the mouse events were
going to AP, instead of the app on top. Or rather in addition to the app on
top.

Hi Paul,

I downloaded this new version and noticed it takes about two minutes or
more to load now. The last version took less than 15 seconds. 

There seems to be something wrong with the window paint code. Every time
I touch the app it repaints all the items, Latitude Longitude GMT
Offset, Local Date Local Time etc including all the visibility
indicators too. 

When I click on an object the app takes about 10+ seconds to highlight
that object. It seems to be running very slow to switch from the Objects
tab to the Sky tab. 

It takes about four minutes to close and then about two more minutes for
the Application Quitting Save Settings window to close. I never noticed
this before in the other releases.

Running on Windows XP Media Center Edition SP3, Dell Inspiron laptop,
Intel T1300 1.66GHz 2G RAM ATI Radeon X1300 Video card
