Quick Picks and Customizing Databases
Posted: 03 Jun 2013, 19:56
Especially for Mode and TX Power, it would be very useful to have the most used choices at the
top of a list. For example, when I switch between CW and SSB it is a task to (quickly) find the other mode
among the long list provided. Even when I use digital modes I generally only need several modes in total.
Also for TX Power I only need a few values, e.g. 100, 300, 600 watts. A quick mouse click on
most often used values is more convenient than having to keyboard them in.
I have used another logger program(s) that had these Quick Picks and it was very useful, especially during
fast moving pile ups and contests.
For the Country Database, it would be nice to be able to customize the country names in order to
narrow the width on the log page (e.g. European Russia and United States take up space that I would
prefer to free up for the Comments section). Perhaps this would be problematical in that the Country
Database needs to be updated from time to time, and the database is downloaded from a site separate
from Log4OM. However if there is some way that I could dig into the database and edit it, I would do it,
even if I had to go into the Log4OM program files rather than having the ability to change the database
from a running/started Log4OM.
Thanks in advance for your consideration.
