A quick diary here to say I uploaded Version 2.0.1. It will show all the districts all the time now, fixing one of your main issues. It’s faster zooming, even with all the districts, but still not as perky as 1.0. On my laptop it does seem that panning is a bit slow for the large states, like NY, TX or PA, but acceptable. It is nice to always see all of the districts.
I’ll be checking the diary tomorrow (Sat) and periodically next week, but won’t be working on the app until after Thanksgiving.
Please keep the feedback coming. Thanks.

There are still some niggling issues, but you’re getting there.
Thanks.
stopped working entirely.
Surely it is this update. Big improvements since my way for use the application comparing with the 1.0 version. Thank you David.
This is ready for have pretty works from many people.
Much faster overall, and the screen shots are a ton better.
Two feature requests, though:
1) A way to disable “double-click to color”. If I’m panning a lot, I don’t want to accidentally recolor things. (I might have missed how to do this).
2) A way to assign an entire county to a CD. Easier for states that insist on this, and a good way to avoid missing tiny voting districts.
Thanks a lot – I’m working on a NY State Senate right now, and having only half the districts showing in NYC was doing my head in. Much better now.
I have a question, though. Is there a way to just lump an entire county into a district without having to hit every individual precinct?
I am unable to double-click on the coloring function to select district colors. I am using a mac….
If I could start playing around with this version, I can see how in various respects it would be more user-friendly than the older version. Been an avid fan since you came out with that version in Spring 2009…
does not work for CA, TX, or NY. Cause of special numbers or not?
