[solved] - Add new mode

Post by G4DWV »

A search for "add mode" failed but I know I have seen some directions before.

I am using a new experimental JT mode called JT10 and I would like to add it to all the JTs that there are in Log4OM. The correct mode gets passed to Log4OM from JTAlert, but I cannot edit it in so I need to add it to the dropdown options in the QSO information tab in edit QSO.

How do I do this pls? IIRC,I just have to edit a file.

Open Log4OM, klick on HELP Button, klick on "Open configuration folder" ... look for modelist.csv and open it with Notepad++ or equivalent ...
Insert a row below JT9 and in this empty row type in JT10;JT10;JT10 then save and restart Log4OM that the change take effect.

Be happy with the new mode in the dropdown list :D :D

Hi Juergen,

I did the modification to that file and your suggestion did not work. No JT10 yet :( .

Working fine here with the changes i described .... Did you use the correct separartion with a ; betwee the first and second JT10 ??? Do not use : that´s the wrong sign. And b.t.w. have you restarted Log4OM after you make this new entry in the list ??

Here my screenshot .... I work with 1.28.0 too. ;) ;)

Hi,

I did all as you advised. Please see my screenshots and see if you can spot anything wrong. Modelist.csv was the file edited.

Yes, I did the restarts.

Can I just confirm that the file to be modified is modelist.csv? There was another similarly sounding file present. I am in one of my Linux distros at the moment, but working from memory, it was modeuserlist.csv or similar. Could I have modified the wrong file?

I am sure that it is something silly that I have not done properly, but I do not like to let computers win, hi hi.

If there is a user list that is the one the program uses so yes you modified the wrong file

modelist.csv should be saved as modelist_user.csv or will be wiped out on next release.
