Hi,
I played a bit during WAEDC to check how good the QTC entry form works.
BTW, I still used WT 3.26.
The following issues came up:
- The QTC sender did a mistake by sending one QTC a second time, which I
entered in the next line. While I mechanically copied the code and typed
I didn't realize the problem, but when I finished the 10th line and
there was an extra QTC I bumped my head!
=> you could Offer to add QTC line #11 even it sounds irregular
- Later I had to correct the whole QTC by "manually shifting" all QSOs
up. hmmpf.
- The time entry could be automated as follows:
- hour usually does not change so often, can be copied into next line
- except do not copy if last minute is 59
- same for 10th-minutes, can be copied except if last minute digit was 9
- When I request to get one field again, I tabbed through the fields to
go back, but then I had to manually "backspace" the content. Later I
found Alt+Backspace would mark the content and swap with previous, so
Alt+BS+BS solves the problem. Is this by design?
- When the QTC form is open, Alt+TAB (switching to other programs)
works, but going back does not because WT disappears. This is a bit
nasty because you need the mouse to go back. (Windows XP Prof SP1)
I did not found how to correct QTCs afterwards - any ideas?
tnx and happy contesting
