Annoying behavior

Post by CU3ED »

Hi,

Picture this scenario:
You are updating your QSO's in the "QSO Manager" or the "QSL Manager" window, the main window of Log4OM is minimized, also in the background I'm doing some QSO's using WSJT.
So, you start updating some awards or selecting some call to print the label, and the main window is constantly, changing the main window to the information of the call that I'm calling or to the log QSO.
Why? It is minimized or in the background! I'm using another window?!?!
If you are updating a lot of call's after some time, this is very annoying and against productivity...
Just my 2 cents...

All the best,

D

I guess your using a robot version of WSJT for automatically logging QSO's to Log4OM

If thats the case the focus is being taken over when the QSO is in progress/being logged and that is why your active window loses focus.

Stop robot WSJT and all will be fine

Hi,

No, not using a robot, that would kill the purpose of doing QSO's! Also I did investigate on that, and the solutions available are for older version of the WSJT, also another problem for me. Why do I know that? Because I made a investigation for a hamradio with disabilities, that needed for FT4, but it's to fast for him.
What I have, is WSJT, with JTAlert on a remote desktop, sending the info by UDP.
I use this setup, because the "main" computer is to work also, and I want the computer completely disconnected from the radio.
If you think, that this problem, is caused by my particular setup, I can work with the Log4OM, in offline, like I had before, and later, do a import ADIF from the WSJT log file.

All the Best,

D

How often are you simultaneously editing in QSO or QSL manager while having at the same time an FT8 QSO, is it something you are doing hourly, daily, weekly or what?

What editing are you doing in the managers?

Hi,

A day I normally work in front of the computer around 10 hours, since I use a setup with more than 2 screens I am normally doing FT8.
The last day's I have been updating the DOK award for all the German stations that I contacted, and also, selecting the QSO's that I want to send Direct QSL to NA, around 300, using at the same time QRZ.com.
It as bean tedious but I'm almost done.
During that process I detected that problem.
So answering to your question:
- It has been full days, doing that...

All the best, and stay safe,

D

While keeping the UDP logging active turn off the call lookup connection to JTALERT/WSJT that will stop the Log4OM window taking focus.
