Log4OM Cat preference

[K7SW]

With Log4OM V2, using OmniRig 1.9 for CAT control, can I force the "rig" setting in Log4OMv2 to use only Rig 1 ?
For my install the setting changes to Rig 2 quite often when i am not watching it and that kills the other software using the OmniRig port 2. Log4OM is usually minimized. When I see SDRuno not responding I switch to Log4OM and find it has switched to "rig 2".

I have SDRUNO using omniRig port2 for its sync options.
I do have my windows 10 desktop mouse settings to
"scroll inactive windows when mouse over" set to ON. ( In case it is relevant to this problem)

I have not found any place that I can force Log4OM to stay on Rig1 and not move.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Kevin,

I had Doug move your post to the V2 section as it will have more visibility here as your question relates to the new V2 of Log4OM2.

What is SDRUno using Omnirig to Sync to?, I use SDRUno, Omnirig and Log4OM with two rigs but do not experience the issue that you describe

[K7SW]

Terry,
I was using SDRUno as OmniRig port 2
and Log4OM as OmniRig Port 1

Log4OM would would select OmniRig port 2 and silently conflict with SDRUno.
So I moved SDRuno to Com 15 and disabled Omnirig integration for SDRuno

It is complicated, but this is what I do.
VSP ports are set as "Paired" ports
com 15 and 16
com 17 and 18
com 19 and 20
===================
TenTec OmniVII radio is on Com 8 or Ethernet.
SDRUno com15 to com16 on N4PY port
Log4OM Omnirig #1 -com17 to com18 to N4PY port.
FLDGI via TCP to flrig com19 to com20 N4PY port

There is no reason that Log4OM would change from Omnirig rig 1 to rig 2 without external intervention so my best guess it that there is some conflict on the other program which I cant help with because I know nothing about it

Thanks Terry,
This morning I think I have found the offending program. OmniRig 1.19 itself.

With Log4OM V2 open, if you also open "OmniRig" and then close OmniRig.
Log4OM changes OmniRig ports.

I can duplicate this problem each and every time that I open OmniRig..
No need to make changes to OmniRig, just open and then Close OmniRig.

Switching occurs ANY time I open OmniRig and then close the program.
If I have another program that wants to use Omnirig port 2, that must do something to start and stop the service which is why I could not figure the problem out..
Without a doubt, I open and close the OmniRig program and Log4OM will switch from Port1 to Port2.

Does this description help ?
===========================================
Log4OM, Now that I know what the symptom is, I have tested by having Log4OM v2 select Rig2.
When I open and close OmniRig now, Log4OM will stay
on OmniRig Port 2..

When Log4OM v2 starts it wants port1 of OmniRig. As long as I Open Omnirig and close it again, Log4OM v2 appears to switch and stay on Port 2 from that point on.
