What's New in v1.0.2

This release brings a significant redesign of the camera parameters,
a more reliable photo triggering system, visual improvements to the
map preview, and several bug fixes.

Bug Fixes

  • Speed not applying on DJI RC: the controller was defaulting to
    2.5 m/s regardless of the configured speed. Fixed by adding the
    missing autoFlightSpeed element to the mission template.
  • Export to local folders: saving to a local or external drive
    path now works directly without requiring a DJI RC folder structure.
  • Duplicate dock widget warning on plugin reload in QGIS has been resolved.

Photo Triggering Redesign

FlyPath now uses time-based interval shooting (multipleTiming),
matching how the DJI Mini 4 Pro and Mini 3 Pro handle auto interval
capture natively in DJI Fly.

  • New Photo Interval parameter (2.0 to 60.0 seconds)
  • Front Overlap is now a calculated read-only display derived from
    speed x interval, with colour warnings when overlap is too low
  • Max flight speed capped at 12 m/s for DJI Mini 4 Pro and Mini 3 Pro

New Parameters

  • Gimbal Angle: adjustable from -90 to -30 degrees (default -90 nadir)
  • RC Lost Action in Safety Actions: choose what the drone does
    when signal is lost: Return to Home, Hover, Land, or Continue mission

Simplified Parameters

  • Front Overlap removed as a manual input (now derived automatically)
  • Altitude Mode removed, hardcoded to AGL which is the correct mode for
    these drones without RTK
  • Mission Name field removed

Map Preview

  • Survey area colour updated to deep pink for higher contrast on
    satellite and terrain basemaps
  • Flight path colour updated to electric yellow
  • Start waypoint is now red, start and end markers are larger
  • Drawing tool colour matches the survey area throughout
  • Right-click now places the final vertex before closing the polygon

Other Improvements

  • RC path field saves automatically as you type, the Set button has been removed
  • Advanced section renamed to Safety Actions
