Calls in WSJT-X aren't getting into Log4 when minimized

Post by N9BBE »

Hello all and Happy Holidays. I've had this issue since installing V2 and had some time today to determine what is happening. Here's my issue (really it's a minor issue). I run WSJT-X (v2.2.2) and JTAlert (2.16.8) together along with LOG4 V2 (2.10).
Logging to Log4 when making FT8 contacts works great, no problems. My issue is when I click on a call in JTAlert, the call goes to WSJT-X and the RX and TX cursors on the waterfall change (that's all working perfectly) but the call doesn't transfer to the callsign field in Log4. Usually when I'm working FT8 I have Log4 minimized (I only have 1 monitor). I've checked all the setting in all 3 programs many times to no avail. After a couple of hours of messing with it today I accidently found out that if Log4 is maximized the calls do indeed show up in Log4 as soon as a call populates the call field in WSJT-X but when minimized it does not. Maybe most ops have 2 monitors or have a big enough monitor to have all programs maximized on their screens so it's not an issue. Maybe this has been brought up before on the forum and I missed it?? Wonder if anyone else has seen this and/or can duplicate it?

Running Win10 64bit up-to-date
Log4OM V2 v2.10
WSJT-X v2.2.2
JTAlert v2.16.8

Log4OM V2 is awesome, thank you Lele and team.

TU once again Terry. I totally missed that fine detail. That did the trick.

I do not have "update UI when minimized" checked but I think I should have it. I guess I have never minimized Log4OM when making QSOs.

But I am puzzled why this even exists? And why would I ever want a situation where Log4OM is open but I do not want to log QSOs? So I minimize the program?

Please enlighten me!

Some users dont have large monitors so they minimise log4OM to save space, knowing that the logging continues even though they are not watching
