Re: [Tlf-devel] WAEDC QTC - v0.002 release :)

[Thomas Beierlein]

Hi Martin and others,

I agree that tlf has a lot of Ctrl- and Alt-key combinations for
various control functions (e.g. turning on and off different windows)
- some of them may be not needed at all - but I do not see much of them
in normal contest operation.

I had a look at the trlog manual in meantime and there are also a lot
of that ALT- and Ctrl-key combinations. Where do you see the difference.
I would be glad to hear you suggestions for the keyboard interface.
Maybe we miss some of your points here.

It would be good if you could say which basic functionality has to work
with as few key strokes as possible and what is seldom needed (and can
require more keyboard work or maybe a menu access).


The scoring is a really bad point in the actual implementation. But as
the logic to do it is scattered around nearly a dozen places in the
program it is difficult to change. I have some ideas for a  complete
overhaul of that scoring problem - but that is another thread. It will
require also a complete change of the configuration and contest rule
base. I will try to summarize my ideas in the next time here.

For the autosend problem - see my other mail on the thread.

73, de Tom DL1JBE.
