Persistent Band Plan Configuration
Posted: 26 Jan 2019, 15:38
The recent 1.36.00 update was applied today. Unfortunately, once again, my 60m band-plan customizations have been lost. The number of threads relating to this, suggest a feature update is justified.
Also, aside from anything else, hacking raw XML files by hand is onerous.
Can I propose a persistent configuration of band plans please. I propose one additional piece of functionality located adjacent to the 'Find Using my ITU' button thus.
Log4OM Settings -> Station Info -> Find Using my ITU (current functionality)
Log4OM Settings -> Station Info -> Edit Band Edges (Proposed functionality)
The second button allows an ON SCREEN configuration of the band plans. Presumably you have a class to serialize the band data to the XML file. Therefore a simple list-style UI should be sufficient to render the band / mode edges. The installer would keep the existing 'golden copy' user configuration file but continue to distribute the 'default' band plans, for those who can use them, but not mandate them on each update.
Many thanks
