Label Printing - some questins suggestions

Post by NN7D »

Hi guys,

I've been testing label printing over the weekend. I have it working fairly well, but I encountered some issue that you may not have discovered. BTW, I am running v 1.17.0.0, which I believe is still a beta version'?? Not sure if that has anything to do with this issues.

1. On the printed label the time is expressed in 12 hour format with AM and PM. I would prefer UTC, like is done elsewhere in Log4OM and Ham radio. Or at least an option to select this. Maybe I missed that option somewhere?

2. Also with a larger Base font size of 8 selected for readability, the time 'AM' runs into the band on the label. Could use more spacing, or go to UTC time format, eliminating the need for AM/PM.

3. On the Label Print window, Label Management tab, the address filled in from QRZ is not complete. The first line of the address in the QRZ record is not appearing in the Log4OM address field. The same thing is happening with the Managers address, first line of the address is absent. Must update the address manually from QRZ record. By the way, this is also true for the address field in the general QSO entry section. The address is not complete.

4. On Label Print tab, the label type is not sticky. You have to re-select the label type each time the dialog is opened. Other settings such as font size are sticky.

5. The default QSL message entered into the Settings, QSL & Label tab is not printing on the label, nor is it displayed in the Label Management tab of the Label Management dialog.

6. Is there a way to suppress the "TO:" from printing on the labels for addresses? Takes a lot of run. Or an option to include it?

Thanks guys!

Doug,
Most of the items you point out are known issues and not related to the test version that I gave you when trying to help you with a problem previously. I will check the items that we don't have on our list and add them if necessary.

If you have further comments on this pre release version please contact me direct because some of it's features are under development and discussion about this test release may cause confusion with users of the public release.
