Hi folks,
Firstly - awesome work with the program to everyone involved (past and
present!)
Just one nit-picky thing...
When we have a new version come out, and I install it, it creates a
brand new Start Menu folder for the new version.
So I now have in my Start Menu:
wsjtx 2.40
wsjtx 2.50
wsjtx 2.52
wsjtx 2.54
Likewise in my installed programs listing in "Add/Remove Programs" I
have all 4 versions of the software listed. And given the program
installs to the same location every time it installs, if I remove the
old versions of the software, it causes no end of problems.
To remove the old versions I have to remove the oldest. Then because all
the files are gone, to remove the next oldest I have to re-install the
new version. THEN remove the next oldest. ...rinse and repeat.
To my mind - it should be working thus:
* If you're installing over an existing version in the SAME INSTALL
DIRECTORY (Default behaviour), then it should update the existing
package and update the version number in the Installed Programs list to
prevent duplicate listings of the same install location, and either use
a Common Name for the Start Menu folder, or remove the OLD Start Menu
folder for the previous version number and add the NEW version into
Start Menu.
* If you're installing to a brand new directory and there's an existing
copy installed elsewhere, leave the existing stuff alone because some
people might want to run an old version and a new version, so list them
seperately.
I admit - I have ZERO programming chops to do any of these things
myself, but I can make constructive suggestions for future releases!
Again - I wish to say I am in awe of the software as it stands! These
points above are piddling things, especially when compared to the joy
this program brings to a new Ham Operator working off a compromised
antenna using QRP, and is still able to make DX contacts despite that!
If there was a "Donate here to support this software" link - I'd be
doing it!
Thanks and 73
