OK, I know that I can change the columns that appear, and the width of these columns, (page 39 of the manual) however, I would like to also change the actual text that heads the column.. for example, I would like to change "QSO date" to simply 'Date' and RST sent to just 'Sent' (as well as change a few others to shorter headings) Is this currently possible ?????
and, if not, I would like to make it a request for a future version !
Further to my original post on this subject.... it appears that this request has been overlooked, at least, if it has been acted upon, I have missed it in the manual..... I am most interested in seeing implemented the part from my previous post.... "I would like to also change the actual text that heads the column.. for example, I would like to change "QSO date" to simply 'Date' and RST sent to just 'Sent' "
I would like to see this for reasons of savings of screen space.... so that I can see more. I personally find it pointless to have a column that stores 8 characters to have a heading that is 13 characters wide (QSO start time for example.. hey, I know its a QSO, its a ham contact log..... the words Start Time would be ample) or, a column that stores a simple Y or N to have a heading 15 characters wide when 5 would suffice (as in QSL Send Status when QSL S would do)....
Others might disagree with me and thats OK, however if the headings were editable, we could choose what to have occupying the space.
Terry´s on vacation and will be back 1st September ----- so stay "tuned"
73´s .. Juergen ... ALT-512 SDR (10W) , 50 m random wire at SG-211 autotuner, 2 x Xiegu G90 (20W HF TRX) one as portable Radio. Also TS-790E (40 W) for VHF/UHF with X-50 vertical and Duoband 4-Element LPDA.
You wrote " (i will change column names directly) " does this mean that you will be making permanent changes to the column headings, or, will you make these headings 'user editable' ? which would be my preference and I would think others would like to be able to do this themselves as well.
In a first release i will make them fixed. Making those fields dinamics needs many changes and the needs to store the informations in a data structure.
I think this is not one of the priority points for now, so in a future release the first change will be making those fields shorter in a fixed way
Yes, I can follow that making the headings user editable would take a lot of work. I imagine that it would require each column to have a unique identifier in the database and for each column to display what is stored by that identifier as well as having separate headings... Yes, quite a bit of work... For info, Logger32 has this feature, and the way that it has been implimented is not user friendly to use so I do understand.
I know it is of low priority, but would be most grateful if you would not abandon the idea completely.
Thanks Terry.
