I haven't had a chance to get to all of the e-mail from the last week or so. Perhaps none of the other developers had an interest in this topic.
I would like to see where xastir <station/track station> remembers the last station entered here. It would be really cool if it could remember a limited list where a check mark or box would re-initiate this function. I typically find myself tracking one of four or five stations repeatedly. It would be great if I didn't have to retype these calls over and over each time, and with my clumsy fingers... well, you get the idea?
Combining your questions from the two e-mails: Sure, we could make the currently tracked station "sticky", as in save it to the config file when we shut down and restore it on startup. Better yet would be to save it when the callsign is entered as that protects better against power going away during an event. Right now most things don't save until you manually save or you shut down Xastir. Sticky tracking might cause surprises for the operator if he forgot he was tracking though, that's often the case for me. As far as the list, that's a bit more code. What about this instead: A button on the Station Info window for enabling tracking of that station? I've been wanting to do that for some time and that would make it easier to track stations if they'd been heard recently. If not then one could type in the callsign. -- Curt, WE7U. archer at eskimo dot com http://www.eskimo.com/~archer Lotto: A tax on people who are bad at math. - unknown Windows: Microsoft's tax on computer illiterates. - WE7U.
