QSL Label Printing

Post by G4DWV »

I am looking into QSL label printing and checked out the feature in Log4OM. It is functional, but quite basic.

I would like to be able to have a fully customisable label to print so I could design my own or modify what is supplied.

It's on our list, but not planned yet for a defined date.
In the meanwhile Log4OM is natively integrated with HRDLABEL, if you know that software.

Hi Daniele,

I had a look at that program and it is still quite basic. I prefer the Log4OM implementation. It's a shame I have not got a clue how to program. I am not after a full DTP-type program; I would just like to chose the fields, fonts and layout. Still a basic label, but customisable.

Is the template in Log4OM user-configurable in any way? If so, I would not mind trying to modify it to suit me better.

You could always use BV7 label printing software http://www.df3cb.com/bv/

Or export a CSV to your DTP software or Word and construct your own templates

Also
Club Log has a QSL printing facility and you can set up pretty much any
label format. All yopu have to do is have your log on Club Log and sign up
as a user.

If you read the 2nd post in this thread which was written by Daniele you can read that it has a low priority a.t.m ..... A working, basic label printing funktion is implemented but there are some other planned features to include with much more priority ...

B.t.w., Lele is doing that in his free time ... He has a Job and he has a family ... Think when the time has come he will also do some changes in the label module ... So still wait please ;) ;)

Well, "not planned yet for a defined date" doesn't automatically mean low priority...anyway, I'm not the one who wants to complain, my post should just be seen as "kind reminder..".

Hi Kurt,

das Post von Daniele ist gerade mal von Anfang Oktober und dort steht das derzeit nichts derartiges für einen bestimmten Zeitraum festgelegt ist. Daraus kann man eigentlich schließen das es eine "low priority" hat .... Was hat Daniele schon alles in der kurzen Zeit eingebaut worauf die User des damaligen HRD free bis heute noch warten und die User des payed HRD schon gerade, die haben noch nicht einmal automatisierten Upload ins qrz.com Logbuch ....

Ist halt alles eben auch ein Faktor der einsetzbaren Zeit und da Labeldruck ja prinzipliell funktioniert sind für ihn vermutlich einige Sachen wichtiger. Ich bin immer wieder erstaunt was es wieder neues gibt wenn eine neue Beta zu testen ist. In dem Tempo kam seinerzeit Simon mit HRD nicht mit "neuem" heraus ;) ;)

Einfach abwarten ... kommt schon irgendwann auch eine bessere Engine zum Labeldruck ;) ;)
