Re: xlog hamlib functionality with model 2

2021-02-09 Thread Andy Stewart




Hi Andy,
I finally got to the bottom of this.

There were two serial port parameters that are incorrect in hamlib for my 
radio, such that I have always had to use the manual entry for stop_bits and 
handshake in most applications.


Do the hamlib default settings overwrite the manual ones I wonder?

I finally corrected these in the hamlib sources and rebuilt our hamlib package.

Without the manual settings being needed all works correctly as you describe 
when using the rig selection dialogue.


I have sent the corrections upstream to hamlib, so while this fixes my TS-450S 
issue it won't help Karsten.


Thanks for your help,

73
Barry

I think I sent this using the wrong account previously, if it appears in 
duplicate please ignore one of them.




HI Barry,

I'm happy to hear that the problem has been resolved.  Thanks for writing to 
close the loop in case others see the same issue.


I have reproduced the issue regarding xlog and Quisk.  I will need time to look 
at it in more detail.  I'm hopeful that I can look at it in the next few days 
or perhaps this coming weekend.


Have fun and 73,

Andy

Gentlemen,

Please do not edit the config file directly.  Please use the GUI or you will 
cause yourself problems, as you've noticed.  How the data is stored in the 
xlog.cfg file is of no consequence as long as xlog can read/write it and behave 
correctly.


Through the GUI, I have seen no failure.

If you do things through the GUI and see a functional misbehavior, please let

xlog 2.0.20 and hamlib4.

Hello, all.

I've been experiencing crashes in xlog as packaged with debian.  I tried the

I ran xlog with valgrind and tracked it down to a use-after-free scenario in
the gtk open dialog.  Please see the attached diff, which solves the crash
for me and generated a (mostly) clean valgrind output.

Without this patch, lp->type was being assigned even though lp was just
freed in the call to log_file_close().

Hi Chris,

I think it is cool that you took the time to run valgrind on the xlog 
executable - thanks!


The version of xlog packaged with Debian is 2.0.14 and that is ancient. 
Version 2.0.19 can be downloaded here:


http://download.savannah.nongnu.org/releases/xlog/

Latest CVS will eventually become version 2.0.20 and I'm actively working on it 
now.  Let me look at your patch and weave it into my latest version.

Re: Xlog and Hamlib-4

2020-10-30 Thread Andy Stewart



HI Barry,

The following stack worked for me:

* Andy's Ham Radio Linux, version 24c+ (my next dev release), which is based on 
Ubuntu 18.04.*


* Xlog 2.0.19

* hamlib-4.0-rc2

* ICOM 7300 on /dev/ttyUSB0

* I started with a blank ~/.xlog directory.

* I started Xlog and reconfigured hamlib, taking care to choose the updated rig 
number.


* When the POWER entry is listed in the QSO entry window, it will say UNKNOWN 
if the rig power is set to 0, but otherwise, it reflected the rig power 
setting.  Try ctrl-Y ctrl-K for a quick erase/update of the QSO entry window.


I was able to duplicate the condition of hamlib hanging xlog, but that always 
happens when you turn off the rig with hamlib enabled and Xlog is still 
running.  Xlog eventually comes out of it.  This isn't ideal, but it is nothing 
new for Xlog, either.  Turning the rig on again causes the software to be happy 
again.


Let me know if you continue to have issues.

Did you notice in the release notes for hamlib-4.0-rc2 that the model numbers 
for all of the rigs have changed?


https://sourceforge.net/projects/hamlib/files/hamlib/4.0%7Erc2/

My question: are you using the correct value for the model of rig that you are 
using?


Did you try using the rigctl program to isolate potential hamlib issues from 
potential xlog issues?





I have not tested xlog with hamlib-4.0.


On Ubuntu 18.04, I just compiled xlog with hamlib-4.0 and saw no issues.  Note: 
I have not tested it with my rig (yet).  That's next.




I just built hamlib-4.1 and xlog against it and I can now edit the hamlib 
settings without a hang or crash, however rig control fails to work at all, 
even using a manual config string for the port. It just fails to communicate, 
looking at the hamlib tracker in xlog.


Where are you finding hamlib-4.1?  On Sourceforge, I'm finding hamlib-4.0-rc2, 
which is what I'm currently using for testing the latest version of xlog.

Hi Everybody,

I am updating xlog to support ADIF version 3.1.0, which adds FT4 mode.

I've also seen some intermittent Glib Critical messages in the terminal when 
xlog is invoked from the command line.  I'd like to fix those if I can 
determine precisely how to make them occur.


If you have a log file and a precise set of steps which makes these messages

Lastly, I'll be updating the country file (cty.dat).

Hi Everybody,

It was reported to me that newer versions of GCC (> 8.1) are able to detect a 
new type of problem in the code called "stringop-truncation".  There was one 
case of this in the Xlog source code (editest.c).  It isn't a problem, so I 
disabled this particular compiler warning.  Version 2.0.17 has this modification.


One other difference:

* 2.0.16's country file is dated 12/2018

I removed the date button because the UTC button also fills in the

It might be better to have an in-entry button on the right side to fill
in the UTC and for contests it should be done anyway at save-time.






I have a friend who has wished for a) a better/different order in the
New QSO frame, or b) the ability to add/delete those boxes at will,
for different contests, and c) the ability to enter a QSO *without*
needing the mouse.  My friend's chief complaint is that tabbing over
unused info boxes is error prone and should be unnecessary.  Toward
that end, I'm curious about your changes.


That is also my idea.  I am thinking about a configurable order of the
fields including a save button etc.  Recently we had an SSB fieldday and
I used some Windows program for logging.  That was really convenient and
worked pretty well - without clicking.  We should also have such an
option.  Context specific checks would also be useful.


If there is a way to rearrage/omit the fields, in a user customizable 
way, I think that will meet the needs of the majority of users.





For example, in a 6m contest, the exchange might be callsign, signal
report, and grid locator, which is challenging to do with the current
software.


Right.  The software should lead you through the QSO during a contest.


I am interested in your ideas.  I'd like to find a way to maintain a
balance between the casual users of Xlog and those who would like the
tool to be more user friendly for contest logging.


Re-adding the date button and its mnemonic would be simple and could be
the default.  So that a new field ordering can be done as an option.  I
guess I will first work on a configurable order of the new QSO fields
and add a configurable save button.

BTW, is GTK-2 set or would migrating to GTK-3 be okay?  I can live with
both.


I am OK with migrating to GTK-3.  If this happens, my conservative 
proposal for the Savannah repository is as follows:


a) modify the code to use GTK-3 without addition or loss of functionality

b) start adding features one at a time with thorough testing

c) release a new version when it is ready

Regarding your other email, kudos on implementing a configurable order 
of fields.  I'm wondering if this ordering is global (for all *.xlog 
files), or if it can be different for each log?





Salam-Shalom,

Werner

Hello!


Hello Werner,

As the maintainer of the Xlog software, I'd like to thank you for your 
enthusiasm and willingness to share your ideas and code with the community.




Now that my transceiver sits close to my monitor I started to make real
use of xlog.  It is a nice and small Unix program and should be
sufficient for me.  However, there are a couple of peculiarities: For
example on Saturday I did some contest QSOs and got one dup response
("we already had a QSO").  The worked before windows showed that QSO but
I didn't realized that fast enough.  So a better indication is needed to
make such things obvious.  I did some patches:

1. Change the color of a new callsign when it has been worked.

 The color is changed on an exact match.  It would be better to also
 indicate a fuzzy match here.  The whole thing is pretty important to
 quickly check whether a station has already been worked; for example
 in a contest.
 
 Using a fixed color is a bit crude but it is a first step for an

 improved answer-back during data entry.


The above seems like it would be a relatively simple, but useful addition.



2. Just one button to set date and UTC to the current time.
 
 It does not make sense to be able to set the current time but keep

 the existing date.  Better one button for this.  Note that the date
 can anyway be edited manually to any value.


I'm curious...did you remove a button from the GUI?  Do you have a 
screenshot?




3. Change the order of fields in the QSO frame
 
 Except when typing in old log paper entries or similar, there is no

 reason that the order must follow the order in the log windows.
 From a usage point of view the new order seems to be better.  For
 example the band and mode is rarely changed and should thus not get
 into the way when logging a new QSO.  The call and the RSTs should
 be the first and easiest to enter data.  Actually the UTC should
 even come after the call but I didn't do that because another patch
 should fill in the UTC at save-time - this is a better for contests.

For example, in a 6m contest, the exchange might be callsign, signal 
report, and grid locator, which is challenging to do with the current 
software.



as well as a few supporting changes.  My goal is to make xlog ready for
real contest use up to a level that it can compete with whatever the
other hams in my club are using on Windows.  I also looked at fldigi,
which is a great set of tools, but given that I am more a C and Gtk+ guy
I decided to give xlog a try.

Given that I basically lost all my CVS knowledge, I took the Savannah
xlog2 repo and imported it into a new Git repository for my local work.
You can find it at

   git://git.gnupg.org/people/wk/xlog.git

Now the question is whether you like my changes at all and, if so, how
shall I send you the patches?

I would also like to discuss possible new features here to see whether
my patches make sense for a wider community.  The next feature I am
looking into is an automatic RST+nnn counter and faster and more safe
contest logging options.


I am interested in your ideas.  I'd like to find a way to maintain a 
balance between the casual users of Xlog and those who would like the 
tool to be more user friendly for contest logging.


Thanks for sharing!

[Xlog-discussion] HOWTO install from source tarball

2017-11-26 Thread Andy Stewart


Hi Everybody,

I've received several questions recently about how to install xlog from 
the source tarball.


1) Download the latest xlog from here:
http://download.savannah.nongnu.org/releases/xlog/

2) Note that as of this writing, the latest version is 2.0.15, so the 
desired file would be:  xlog-2.0.15.tar.gz


3) The rest of these instructions should be done as root and within a 
terminal window.  On Ubuntu systems (and perhaps others), one 
accomplishes this in a terminal window by typing the "sudo -i" command, 
typing the password when prompted, and then notice the new prompt 
starting with "#".


4) On "Andy's Ham Radio Linux", I created /usr/local/tarballs.  Copy the 
downloaded xlog-2.0.15.tar.gz to that directory, or mentally adjust the 
following instructions, depending on where your downloaded file lives.


5) cd /usr/local/src

6) tar xzvf ../tarballs/xlog-2.0.15.tar.gz

7) That will cause a lot of files to be written to the hard disk, in a 
subdirectory called xlog-2.0.15.


8) cd xlog-2.0.15

9) ./configure
If this step fails, read the INSTALL file for instructions about 
additional software packages that might need to be installed, such as 
hamlib.  The names of these software packages, and the process for 
installing them, vary depending on your Linux distribution.


10) make

11) make install

12) /usr/local/bin/xlog

13) In the xlog GUI, look at the Help->About menu to be sure you're 
running version 2.0.15.


If any of the steps causes an error, stop and resolve the problem before 
continuing.


Note that most source tarballs require the standard 3 commands to build 
them:


./configure
make
make install

73,

Andy

Re: [Xlog-discussion] update from 2.0.13 to 15? how?

2017-11-25 Thread Andy Stewart

Is it difficult for the author to get the Repositories updated with the

the more vetted Repositories rather than download directly from a site,

That being said, I really like XLog for its simplicity and 
functionality. I do look forward to better ADIF support in the new version.


Now if someone with more brains than I could come up with a modern 
contest logger for Linux I wouldn't need Windows at all. :-)


Thanks for all of the work!

73,
Steve - AA5TB


HI Steve,

I have tried to get updated versions into the Debian and Ubuntu 
repositories for the last to releases, to no avail.


Savannah is a well trusted site, and note also that there is a signed 
file with the tarball that I've uploaded.  If you trust me, then you 
trust that which I've uploaded, once you've verified the signature 
matches.  If you don't trust me, it won't be any better than what 
Debian/Ubuntu distribute, since they get it from me.


That said, once one has downloaded the tarball, the process is quite 
standard:


sudo -i
cd /usr/local/src
tar xcvf xlog-.tar.gz
cd xlog-
Read the INSTALL file for detailed instructions.
./configure
make
make install

Regarding a "modern context logger" for Linux, perhaps cqrlog would 
better meet that need.

Andy

[Xlog-discussion] xlog 2.0.15alpha2 is available

2017-10-18 Thread Andy Stewart


Hi Everybody,

Please try xlog 2.0.15alpha2 and let me know a) if you tried it, and b) 
if you see any problems.


I fixed the sort by date / sort by callsign functions.  There were a few 
other minor tweaks.


I'm looking into the possibility of deleting dupes en masse at the 
behest of the user.  I haven't yet found a good way to do it.  I might 
have to table this request, but let me take one more good look at the code.

[Xlog-discussion] xlog-2.0.15alpha1 is available

2017-09-27 Thread Andy Stewart


Hi Everybody,

I found some errors in version "2.0.15alpha" which I've fixed for 
"2.0.15alpha1".  If you ran xlog from a terminal, they were the 
Glib-Critical and Glib-Warning messages that looked bad but the program 
appeared to work OK.  I've fixed the ones that I could create.


I also modified the scoring window so it properly shows all of the bands.

Finally, the 60m band is now consistently referred to as "5" in places 
where MHz are displayed.  It has moved around over the years, and 
different countries have different allocations.  "5" seemed to be the 
safest thing to do.


Please download and test it and let me know what you find.  Previous 
warnings about alpha software still apply.

[Xlog-discussion] xlog 2.0.15alpha is available for testing

2017-09-26 Thread Andy Stewart

===
Resending since I don't think this went out last night as I expected. 
My apologies if you get this twice.

===

Hi Everybody,

xlog 2.0.15 ALPHA is available.  It may take a while for all mirrors to 
be updated.


Changes:
* Updated to support ADIF version 3.0.6
* ADIF2 export has been removed
* ADIF import required a LOT of work
* New bands, modes, and submodes were added
* minor update to xlog.cfg to support the above
* Update country file

Download Location:
http://download.savannah.nongnu.org/releases/xlog/

WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING!!

BE VERY CAREFUL!!!  This is ALPHA quality software with a LOT of edits.

I STRONGLY recommend backing up the entire contents of your ~/.xlog 
directory BEFORE trying this new version of software.


This software is NOT TO BE USED for anything other than testing.

I CANNOT be responsible for data loss.  Please BE CAREFUL!  You have 
been warned.


OK, with that out of the way, I'd like people to please test the following:

* Be sure that your existing *.xlog files can be read correctly
* Export to ADIF v3 and make sure the information is correct
** Note that MODES and SUBMODES are different with ADIF3
* Try importing ADIF files created from tools other than xlog
* Export to other formats to make sure nothing was broken

If you encounter a problem, please provide the following:

a) a copy of whatever file xlog was asked to read
b) a copy of your ~/.xlog/xlog.cfg file
c) What exactly did you do?
d) What did you expect to happen?
e) What actually happened?

Please email that information to me at:  kb1...@mval.net

If you test xlog and don't see any problems at all, please tell me! That 
is also good information.


Thanks, and 73,

Andy

HI Nick,

Thank you for your note about N1MM and importing its ADIF files into 
Xlog.  ADIF version 3.0.6 was just released today (13-aug-2017), and 
while I plan to add that support very soon, it won't happen until after 
the ARRL New England Convention, which will be held on September 8-10, 
2017.  I will be doing 3 presentations at that convention, and 
unfortunately, Xlog development will have to take a back seat until I 
finish with those presentations.


Once I get into creating the enhancements for Xlog, I will look at the 
ADIF import issue that you mentioned, and I will see what can be done.


Thanks, and 73,

Andy

Please send me any proposed changes.

FYI: FT8 is not officially supported in the ADIF specification 3.0.5, 
which is why I haven't added it.


Sometime soon, I'll add ADIF 3.0 support.

HI Ed,

Please try the real 2.0.11.  pre is a prerelease version.

When I bring up xlog and click the TX(RST) box, nothing happens - the 
text entry box stays blank.  In the Settings-Default menu, it is also 
blank.


Are you connected to a rig?  Is Hamlib enabled?

I'll need to duplicate the problem before I can investigate a fix.

Thanks, and 73,

Andy,

I have the latest cty.dat file just fine. It is the behavior of xlog in
processing it that I am commenting on, and would hope could be changed a

If I type K9W in the call sign entry window, then xlog will find all
the examples of K9Wxx in my log. It will also count *all* of those
K9Wxx calls as Wake Island, when only K9W is Wake Island. So it throws
the DXCC count off on the bands where I have worked K9Wxx but not K9W.

The other somewhat recent 3 letter calls act the same, N8S, K5D...

HI Al,

The recent use of 3 character call signs, like K9W, causes xlog to
miscalculate DXCC scoring. If there is an entry in the cty.dat file that
adds K9W to the Wake Island list:

...,=K9W;

then if I type K9W into the callsign entry box, all calls of the form
K9W** are then listed, which is OK. But all those additional calls are
used in the DXCC scoring for Wake Island, even though they are just
plain USA. One of those pesky bugs no one thought of when 3 character
calls didn't exist.

Thanks to the devs for keeping this program alive. I have 40,000 QSO now
in my general log, and xlog has no problem with stability.




Hello Alastair,

K9W has been added to the Wake Island list in the most recent cty.dat 
file, which will be included in the next xlog release (or a more recent 
one if it exists).  I can see it specifically in the 20131009 release, 
and there is one release more recent.


One can get this file for themselves from here:
http://www.country-files.com/cty/cty.dat

grep VER cty.dat
(shows the version of the file)

Put the file in this location:
/usr/share/xlog/dxcc/cty.dat
OR
/usr/local/share/xlog/dxcc/cty.dat
depending upon where your xlog has been installed.

Have a lot of fun, and 73,

Re: [Xlog-discussion] date format

2013-07-20 Thread Andy Stewart


HI John,

Thanks for your explanation and your patience.  I like to hear how 
people are using xlog.  It also helps me understand what to do to 
reproduce a problem, and then I have a method for testing potential fixes.


I believe TSV is a generic tab separated variable format.  It is 
possible to modify the way the date is printed in the TSV file.  I want 
to be sure that my assumption about this being a generic format is 
correct so I don't break other things if I make this modification.


I created my own TSV file and tried to import it into LibreOffice Calc, 
but it keeps putting it into LibreOffice Write.  I'm using the 
File-Open menu in Calc to read in the TSV file, but in the very long 
list of file types, I don't see TSV.  How did you read it in and get it 
to populate the spreadsheet?


Thanks, and 73,

Andy

Hi Levente, John, and others,

I have modified the xlog code to output the date in the TSV file in ISO 
8601 format.  My example TSV file looks like this:


2008-01-31  0400KD5CQX  7   CW  569 

When importing this file into LibreOffice Calc, one needs to tell the 
import GUI that the first column is a date in YMD format.  Once that is 
done, the spreadsheet is populated and it knows that this is a date. 
Afterwards, if one wants a different date format, one can change it with 
Format-Cells.


This is working for me with LibreOffice version 3.5.7.2.

This modification will be in the next xlog release (version 2.0.9).

Thanks, and 73,

Andy

[Xlog-discussion] Version 2.0.7 released

2013-03-31 Thread Andy Stewart


HI Everybody,

There was an xlog bug that was exposed by some Unity themes where the 
xlog remarks box was not properly displayed, making it 
difficult/impossible to enter remarks.  This problem has been fixed in 
version 2.0.7.  This was documented as Ubuntu bug #38637.


It was a one line fix that is probably invisible to others.  However, 
since I was doing a release, I included an updated country file also.


Feel free to download it from here at your convenience:
http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/xlog/

I have requested the inclusion of this version into Debian, and from 
there into Ubuntu.


Have a lot of fun, and 73,

HI gang,

I'm in a coding sort of mood as of late.  I'm indoors watching the end 
of the blizzard that dropped at least 18 of snow at my house.


I'd like to get a real release of Xlog out the door.  I've added one 
last quick bug fix, which I'll post this weekend as 2.0.6beta2.  Note: I 
haven't posted it *yet* - I'll send another email when it is available.


My ulterior motive is this:  I'd like to crank out a new version of my 
Linux ham radio CD, and I'd like the latest, greatest Xlog to be on it, 
ideally from the Ubuntu repository.


I know that a lot of great work has occurred on the documentation - 
thanks, Chris!  I'll get an update and find out when this will be 
available for release.


Have a lot of fun, and 73,

[Xlog-discussion] Cabrillo: more accurate frequencies?

2013-02-09 Thread Andy Stewart


HI gang,

In the task list, I see an entry about a requested future feature.

In the Cabrillo log format, one can log the band or the frequency in 
kHz.  In Xlog, the exported Cabrillo format only puts the band, and 
gives the user no option to use the more accurate frequency.


Is this still a feature that people would like to see?  If so, would 
somebody please provide me an Xlog formatted log containing the very 
accurate frequency information as might be entered when using hamlib?

[Xlog-discussion] xlog 2.0.6 beta1 is out...

2012-12-16 Thread Andy Stewart


HI Everybody,

I've just put xlog 2.0.6 beta1 onto the server.

Please allow 24 hours for propagation to the mirrors.

Distribution maintainers:  please don't incorporate this version.

In addition to the ADIF v2 and Cabrillo v3 updates of the original beta 
release, the following have been addressed:


a) MFSK mode ambiguity during ADIF import/export - the ADIF 2.2.7 
specification says MFSK8 and MFSK16 are legal modes, not MFSK, as 
is output by at least one commonly used logger.  xlog is now more 
forgiving of this case on import and exports legal ADIF without silently 
failing as was the case in the original 2.0.6 beta.


b) Cosmetic repairs to the scoring window - Some field were not 
completely displayed (long country names and long callsigns, on the left 
of the scoring window).  This drove me nuts and I think it is fixed.


Please try this: bring up the scoring window and click a QSO with a W0 
callsign - notice the long country name on the left of the scoring 
window?  Is it all there?  It should read United States CO, IA, KS, MN, 
MO, ND, NE, SD (on 2 lines).


c) use of X instead of 0 in the scoring window to indicate yes, you 
got it (similar to the use of X in the QSL in/out).  I decided 
against the use of the check box since I don't understand the unicode 
issues (if any) that might result from its use.


Please give it a try and let us know your results - good, bad, 
otherwise.  :-)


Have a lot of fun, and 73,

Andy

CQRLOG...which all went  into xlog correctly - although the earliest QSO
was displayed at the top and the newest QSO at the bottom of the list -
I prefer the newest QSO at the top of the screen. I then EXPORTED the
new xlog log to a new .adi fileafter  deleting the old log, and
re-imported the new .adi file made with xlog 2.06. However, only part of
the log was importedstrange.

Is the EXPORT working properly

Stephen G3OAG




Hi Stephen,

Thank you for sending that rather large ADIF file.  I have duplicated 
the problem.  With your file, the new ADIF v2 EXPORT malfunctions.  The 
resulting exported file only has about 3500 QSOs instead of 17,196 QSOs. 
 I have not yet found the root cause.


I tried this same experiment with xlog 2.0.5 and I discovered no 
problems, so something seems to be amiss with 2.0.6beta.


Thanks, and 73,

Andy

yeah, looks like the new bands shifted the old ones around. not a big
deal, as it does not touch the logs.




HI everybody,

I think the scoring window needs a little bit of improvement (or maybe 
my understanding of its function needs improvement).  I will work on it 
once version 2.0.6 exits beta testing and is released.


If one goes to the Settings-Dialogs_and_Windows-Scoring menu, one can 
select the desired bands to display in the scoring window.


I selected all of the choices.  If I resize the scoring window and make 
it really wide, I can see all of the bands.  There is also a scroll bar 
in case the window is insufficiently wide.


Yes, the new bands shifted the old bands, but this is customizable as 
described.


I think you are saying that your preferred band settings changed, and 
that surprised you.  Is this correct?


I had to add some code due to the new bands, and via the aforementioned 
mechanism, one should be able to restore the scoring window to display 
the desired bands.  Please let me know if this is not the case.


Thanks!

Andy

[Xlog-discussion] Testme: version 2.0.6beta

2012-12-04 Thread Andy Stewart


Hi everybody,

It may take 24 hours for you to see it, but I have posted version 
2.0.6beta of xlog.


Distribution maintainers: please do not incorporate this version.

Features:
* ADIF support updated to version 2.2.7
* Cabrillo support updated to version 3
* User preference: Are you sure you want to quit?

As a result of adding updated ADIF support, one will notice a large(!) 
number of newly supported modes, and a new band (560m).


Please test this version and provide feedback!  Please do NOT use it on 
the golden copy of your logs.  Make backup copies of your logs before 
you try this version!  It is a beta version, after all.  :-)


Any bugs that existed in version 2.0.5 that are not listed in the 
features of 2.0.6beta probably still exist.  We'll get to thosesomeday.


If you report bugs, the following are most helpful to me:

a) what you did, *exactly*, so I can do it, too!
b) what you expected the software to do
c) what the software actually did
d) data so that I can reproduce the problem (maybe a piece of a .xlog 
file, ADIF file, etc. as appropriate)


Thanks!

Have a lot of fun, and 73,

Andy

Hi Andy...I think before trying to include new features, some of the
existing problems  need to be looked at.


HI everybody,

I'm really glad that people are sufficiently interested in xlog to keep 
writing to this email list!


I understand that there are many issues that need to be addressed, and I 
will become more expedient at addressing them as I learn how the code 
works.  Adding Cabrillo v3 export support was needed IMHO and fairly 
easy to add.  I will finish the Cabrillo v3 support with the addition of 
the import support.  I gain confidence manipulating the code with these 
small successes.


I would like the next couple of releases to implement a small number of 
fixes or features as I learn the code.  To use a baseball analogy, I'd 
rather hit a couple of successful singles as the new maintainer than to 
take a big swing at a home run and miss.


Joop created the xlog2 tree at version 2.0.5 so I'd have a solid 
starting point.  The xlog tree is still in place.


I would like to create a clean slate with the bug reports and start 
fresh.  If ADIF output is not up to specs, please file a bug so we can 
track the issue and it won't be forgotten.  A pointer to a current ADIF 
spec will help a lot.


I'm also aware of the scoring window issue and confusion caused by the 
use of 0 as an indication of goodness.  Chris KC2SYK will, I think, be 
filing an enhancement request :-) for this issue.


I'm not up to date on the CTY.DAT issue.  If someone can explain the 
problem in a bug report, that would be most appreciated, again, so the 
issue isn't lost.


Joop has been very helpful to me in this transition, for which I thank him.

Thanks, everybody, for all of the helpful suggestions.

Have a lot of fun, and 73,

Andy

[Xlog-discussion] What's new with xlog ?

2012-11-13 Thread Andy Stewart


HI gang,

After all of the fanfare..nothing.what's up with that?

Well, life gets busy, soldering needs to get done, and I do play on the 
air once in a while.  ;-)  I'm often running QRP CW with the SKCC folks.


Codewise, I have been familiarizing myself with the xlog code, and in my 
sandbox I have Cabrillo v3 export working.  I've kept Cabrillo v2 for 
those who might wish to use it.


I now am starting to work on Cabrillo v3 import.

I also plan to add a preference checkbox for the Are you sure you wish 
to exit dialog.  Frankly, I hate this darn dialog, but others might 
like it, so I'll make it a preference, defaulted to the current behavior 
of asking.


Once I get those features working, I'll check it in (once I figure out 
how to label it all) so people can test it and offer feedback on the new 
features.  At some point thereafter, it will be released as version 2.0.6.


...and that's the way it is, Tuesday, November 13th, 2012.

Have a lot of fun, and 73,

Andy
