Re: [Xlog-discussion] Multiple log quicky (0.6 beta 3)

[Bryn Joynes]

Hi,

Downloaded xlog-0.6beta3 and installed.  Once again a good install.  I had 
xlog0.5 from a RPM installed already.

I sent an email to this reflector a couple of weeks ago about multiple logs, 
as well as a search function.  Both of these seem to work fine.  I do have 
one more suggestion, and that is dupe checking of callsigns.  This would I 
believe open the program up to general logging and general contest logging.  
What I mean by general contest logging is the ham who wants to logging his 
contacts, but not submit a log.  I often play in a contest just to work a new 
country of state, but do not intend to submit a log, it is here that dupe 
checking of calls would be nice.  

Sometime in the future, merging of logs would be nice, but not essential yet. 
 Also the ability to close logs, and open logs at random.

Now a couple of problems I have seen.  When I first opened xlog0.6 it found 
my old log.  I added a new log, added a few contacts, left without saving.  
Satrted xlog0.6 to find my old log had been deleted, and the new log hadtaken 
its place.  Added a new another new log to the existing new log, saved and 
exited, restarted xlog0.6 and all seems well.

When entering a callsign I notice this message in the lower left hand status 
window. "Minutes out of range (0-59)".


Thank you for all the work everyone has done.  I program some, but not in C 
or C++, but maybe I could help in otherways, just let me know.

Best Regards

I'm sure others had made the suggestion of multiple logs, along with myself.  
One other suggestion
