Would it be usefull, to create directly KAP-files out of MobAC, so OpenCPN can read these atlases imediately?

In principle it's a paper atlas having coordinates with it.

MobAC is not having a feature to export coordintes to file, so that makes it very complex to create these KAP-files. Also to combine PNG-files with coordinates and convert it to KAP-files. Could be a major help, when MobAC can create these files.

Take a look at https://github.com/wellenvogel/mobac_convert

Export your Atlas in MOBAC as "png + world". Script creates a set of KAP files which works fine for example with OpenCPN

  Thanks 'free-x',
  
  I did have a look, but can you tell me which file is the header file?
  'myheaderkap.kap' in the example mentioned site:
  "imgkap myimg.png myheaderkap.kap"
  
  I do get errors, if I did try to use 'png.aux.xml' file or the 'pgw' file, which have been created by MobAC.
  
  I do have to convert thousants of files, so it would be lovely, in case MobAC is putting these header information into a file.

    Moin,
    
    script reads with GDAL functions from PNG header. What you need is
    
    Install python,python-gdal and imgkap
    2 .Clone a above-mentioned GIT repository
    
    Create with MOBAC "png+world" Atlas
    
    Start script ./convert_to_bsb <path_where_atlas></path_where_atlas>
    
    Ready

I am sorry but at the moment I am not planning to develop new atlas formats. If someone provides the Java source code for creating an specific atlas format I am happy to integrate it but developing a complete new atalas format on my own is out of scope at the moment.
