Another thought

Unread post by g0vgs »

Hi Tom,
Announcements pop up. Do talks? I don't generally watch the raw cluster feed, I keep the spot window open. If anyone sent me a talk it would be nice if a window would pop up with it in (like announces) It would also be nice if I could repy in the same window. Is this possible?

it sounds like a wishing-list :)

it would be nice if i could save the open windows on the next restart. maybe in the preferences? If there would be a check-box for the windows that i want to be open on every start - this would bei great for me.

Here we are ....

http://dl2rum.de/rumsoft/RUMlogToTest.zip
  • Google Earth Auto Look Up fixed
  • Separate Talk Window - You can suppress the new opening Talk window in the preferences under the DX-Cluster tab
  • Windows reopen during program start - The most useful windows will reopen automatically, no options available
    • Terminal
    • TNC
    • Sun Data
    • Drawer
    • Grayline
    • Grayline Slots
    • Grayline Map
    • Band Map
    Is a window missing?
Please test the Talk window, I'm not sure if every cluster software uses the same syntax.

Send commands in the Talk window --> to go

Tom you are amazing! Great stuff thanks. A suggestion on the talk window. Could it have a text entry field at the bottom so we could respond to that talk? It would be nice IMHO if the talk was setup for *that* conversation. I don't mind if there are several open (although this pretty much never happens). So the pop up window would belong to the peson who sent the talk, allowing me to reply in the same window. I hope that makes sense. The talk arrives no problem with my clusters which are both DXSpider.

OK, it's official, I am stupid :) I cannot work this out sorry. Do I use the cluster client window to respond? I cannot get anything to work in the talk window. Can you explain please?

I used the net control while running the UK Elecraft net on Sunday for the first time in anger. What a great feature! I have shown a few others too and they think it is wonderful. I intend to play with the contest version next :)

It's straight forward.
You get a message and the window opens. ('Talks' must be selected in the Preferences-->DX-Cluster)
Talk.tiff

To response, just type ahead in the input field and finish with the Enter key.

OK, I am not seeing what you are seeing, just a plain window like the announcements one with no entry box at the bottom. I will download 4.2 and see if that fixes it. I am still running the beta you posted. (not a language thing is it?)

OK, I had a plain talk window with the beta but with 4.2 it is obvious :) I am not going completely mad then :)
