Label Print and Cluster
Posted: 29 Apr 2014, 05:13
Hi and many thanks for the great program. I have been using it for a month now and think I have most things sorted out. It has been a huge learning curve coming from HRD, but well worth it.
I am very active and make quite a lot of QSOs so I have certainly given the program a good workout. I must admit it was hard at first but I persevered and now wouldn't use anything else and feel very competent in using the log. Again well done on a super program.
However I have found a couple of things that I would like to bring to your attention.
Firstly the QSL management is great and so is the label print, except for one thing. No matter what I do the labels always print out the time in AM or PM. I have read the Manual and can find nowhere to change this. If this is not user changeable can I make a suggestion that the labels are printed in the normal 24hr utc format as they are in the log.
My second suggestion is regarding the cluster. If a station is spotted more than once, only the latest spot is shown, and the information from all previous spots is shown in the Other Info tab. Now I can appreciate that some users might like this feature. Personally, I like to read each spot and see them as they come in. Also the way I have my windows set up I have to scroll across to the Other Info tab and then hold the cursor over it to see the information, which is a bit annoying. Is there any way in future versions that this feature can be turned on and off so users that like it can still access it and users who do not like it can turn it off so all spots are shown.
Which brings me to my next suggestion. Most windows on the program have a layout button where you can select and edit what is shown in each window. Is it possible to have this for the cluster? I know that we can slide the columns across to hide certain columns, but it would be nice to have the option of selecting which column you want to see. Personally I am not interested in the Rank or Other Info if my suggestion above is implemented.
Sorry if these points have been raised before, but as the feature suggestion Topic is here I thought I would put my 2 cents worth in. Thanks again from a very happy user.
