Laurie's desire was that a macro request would "queue" up...just like it used to do -- right now it either just updates the message without the button or transmits immediate. True...operator can always do what they want but minimizing clicks is always a nice thing for what sounds like the common case. Never neard anybody on the JTAlert email list complain about the radio button being enabled. A tri-state would let the other application allow the user to choose their desired action.
Or...just adding the active tab to the status would allow something similar.... 73 Mike W9MDB -----Original Message----- From: Bill Somerville [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, May 31, 2015 8:19 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [wsjt-devel] Free Text UDP message On 31/05/2015 14:12, Michael Black wrote: Hi Mike, > Laurie says thanks for the recent change on the free text message. > > But.would still like be able to enable the radio button on tab 1. My thinking was to try and keep it simple by hiding the differences between tab 1 & tab 2. It seems to me that setting of the radio button on tab 1 for the free text message can be easily achieved by waiting until the next Rx period starts and then sending the send ASAP message. This is why I talked about visual feedback i.e. the free text message can be seen to be changed immediately and the server can choose when to activate it i.e. now or later. > > I wonder if the Send flag should be tri-state? > Send=0 -- update text only > Send=1 -- update text and "ready" button -- i.e. Tab 1 -- Tab 2 > ignores > Send=2 -- update text and transmit immediate -- so both Tab 1 & Tab 2 > would transmit immediate > > Also...perhaps an added item to the status to show the active tab > would be nice.
