<guimenuitem>Add flag...</guimenuitem>: Open &kstars; <quote>Flag manager</quote> window.
Here you can manage your flags and use some of &kstars; features. When <quote>Flag manager</quote>
window is open for a selected object, <guilabel>Right ascension</guilabel> and
<guilabel>Declination</guilabel> text boxes will be automatically filled with the coordinate values
of the selected object on the Sky Map. Besides these two text boxes, you can set the
<guilabel>Epoch</guilabel>, add a <guilabel>Label</guilabel>, set the <guilabel>Label color</guilabel>
or even add an <guilabel>Icon</guilabel>. To add custom icons, just add images in <quote>/home/user_name/
.local/share/kstars/</quote>. File names must begin with the <quote>flag</quote> keyword. For example,
the file <quote>flagSmall_red_cross.gif</quote> will be shown as Small red cross in the combo box. After
you set up the information of the new flag, you can add it to the flags list using the
<guibutton>Add</guibutton> button. You may also change flags details (&ie; RA/Dec, label or icon) and
then save the new ones by pressing the <guibutton>Save changes</guibutton> button. Using the Flag manager,
you can easily center an object in Map or in Telescope, by pressing <guibutton>Center in Map</guibutton>
or <guibutton>Center in Telescope</guibutton> button. In order to delete a value from the list, just
select it in the list and then press <guibutton>Delete</guibutton> button. Your flags are saved after you
close current session and thus you will be able to see them everytime you will use &kstars; again.

<listitem><para>
<guimenuitem>Starhop from here to</guimenuitem>: will enable you to find a path between two points in
the sky. Star hopping is a technique that uses bright stars as a quide for finding fainter objects. So if
you have a bright star, you can use it as a reference to find a fainter object. Starting from your reference
star, &kstars; will find a route to the destination, traversing a sequence of stars/patterns of stars. The
object for which you called <guilabel>Starhop from here to</guilabel> tool will be your starting point. When
your starting point is established, a dotted line will appear, allowing you to decide which will be your
end point. You have to move the mouse cursor to your destination object position and right click on it.
Then, a dialog box will pop up, requiring you to set the FOV used for star hopping. For selecting a FOV,
you need to make a choice from the FOV combo box list of values. The values you can choose include
default FOV values (7x35 Binoculars, Telrad, One Degree, HST WFPC2 and 30m at 1.3cm) plus your customized
FOVs. After you selected the FOV, &kstars; will find a route for you. Thus, the dialog box will contain a
list of object used in the starhop. If &kstars; did not manage to find a route, then an error dialog box
will be displayed, giving you a helping hand. When the Star-Hopper algorithm ends, the dialog box will
contain a list of objects used in starhop route. For every object from the list, you can perform a set of
actions: you can ask for details using the <guibutton>Details</guibutton> button, center selected object in
the map using <guibutton>Center on map</guibutton> button or you can go to next star by pressing the
<guibutton>Next</guibutton> button. Note that when go to next star, it will be automatically centered on
the map. Also, Star-Hopper tool provides directions to star hop for every object of the list.
