Managing Telemetry Sessions
Open/Combine session dialog is a dialog that is used for both openning a new session and combining an already opened session with another session. The dialog contains two tabs, Archived and Recent sessions, from which a session can be picked. Up to three icons can be present near to each session.
- Archive (Shelf with File icon) - Archives the sessions. Only non-archived sessions can be archived. Archived sessions are kept indefinitely. Recent sessions adhere to the maximume kept session limit, that can be changed in the settings.
- Open Location (Folder icon) - Opens location, on disk, where the session is physicaly stored. Usefull for copying individual lap files for sharing.
- Delete (X icon) - Deletes the session.
Opening the new sessions opens a new sessions, so only laps from the newly opened session are available for viewing. Clicking on the "Open Session" icon will open the Session selection dialog, where you can select any recent or archived session you would like to open.
It is possible to view laps from another sessions alongside the currently open session. To do this, click the "Add Session" icon, which will display the open session dialog. Only sessions ran on the same track/layout and in the same sim as the currently opened session are available for selection. After a session is selected all laps from the selected session are added to lap selector.
It is possible to add, not just whole sessions, but also individual laps. The selection process is little different, as it requires the user to pick the location on disk where the lap file is located. Adding lap should only be done if a valid session is opened, as track map is based on the opened session.
Clicking on the + button will open the "Open File" dialog. After a lap file is selected another dialog will be presented, where it is possible to specify the name under which the lap should be shown in the lap picker and graph view.
Note: Lap files currently do not hold the information on which track/layout/sim they were recorded. So there are no safeguards in place preventing loading a lap from a different track, than the currently opened session. The file will be loaded without any issues, but the graph/map view will ofc not correlate with the rest of the laps data.
