Anyway I kind of like your way as then I wouldn't have to pull down a menu
and then select a box. Just right-click on the station, if I understand what
you are saying, and make the selection. Way cool.
Almost. You'd right-click. If there were multiple stations near
the mouse you'd get a selection box, else the Station Info window.
If the selection box then select the callsign and then the Station
Info window would pop up. Once there you'd have a button there for
"Track This Station" or some-such.
Did you know about the "-f callsign" (Track callsign) command-line
option? You could do it that way as well:
xastir -f we7u-12 &
Define different aliases or scripts for tracking certain people.
I'm still thinking about the "minimum surprise to users" angle:
Should we or should we not make tracking of a particular station
remembered through restarts of Xastir?
