[Dx4win] Minor bugs & wishlist

2003-03-03 Thread Mel Martin (VE2DC)
There is a sort of kluge... Put $$ (the current frequency macro) into
QSO...Contest Mode... Text... (hardly intuitive!) and it puts the
frequency into the QSO notes field. Much better than nothing, but I've
been trying to convince Paul to "format" the notes field into separate
fields for frequency/name/other-info for years... Much easier for
import/export and macros...

C'mon paul... Do it for version 7...

Minor bugs report for 6.02:

When a progress report is selected, the displayed *frequencies* in MHz 
(not bands in meters) are cut off so that 1.8 MHz is displayed as .8 MHz

and 3.7 as .7 MHz. Incidentally, shouldn't the progress report's 
WkdTotal reflect the actual worked total (a sum of worked + sent + 
confirmed), as opposed to worked + sent - confirmed?

Also, since I only recently subscribed to the reflector, I don't know 
whether this has been brought up before or even beat up to death, but 
are you ever planning to implement the actual frequency display instead 
of (or in addition to) just bands? And, yes, I know about the Ctrl-R; 
that just doesn't cut it, unfortunately. I don't see how adding this can

hurt the program - if anything, your revenue can only increase.

Some other stuff I'd like to see: ability to index the Logbook by QSL 
Mgr, ability to resize columns in Logbook, radio buttons for frequently 
used functions, program maintaining Contest mode and Special keys after 
restarting, support for the W9XT contest card.

Thanks for reading,

That's what I meant by Ctrl-R. A duct tape approach in the otherwise 
superior program, sort of like duct-taping a tailpipe on a shiny new 
Porsche.
