Import bookmarks errors

[stuzog]

I keep getting errors when importing a plain csv file after starting r-r on OS X -- nothing imports:

Bookmarks file (.txt added to conform with Github restrictions): rig-bookmarks.csv.txt

[rig-remote v.2.1, OS X 10.11.6]

bash$ python ./rig-remote.py
Exception in Tkinter callback
Traceback (most recent call last):

this seems the expexted behavior when the format of the bookmarks is not supported. I will check deeper and let you know here.

[Marzona]

resolving as the file provided is not of the proper format/type.

I have this: https://github.com/Marzona/rig-remote/issues/84 for providing a clarification on how to write config files

No luck -- downloaded fresh rig-remote, opened it, tried to import bookmarks.csv file from menu -- still won't work, no bookmarks show on OS X 10.11.6 iMac 7,1.

Hello stuzog,

you are using a wrong format. I have https://github.com/Marzona/rig-remote/issues/84 for properly documenting the format, README.md is outdated and misleading now, since the last release.

I updated your txt file (ready to be renamed to csv and imported), it is attached here.

I attach here also a screenshot of the result.

Thanks Simone. The file you sent me imported correctly. I'd never have guessed the proper format as the sample file in the README at https://github.com/Marzona/rig-remote is still showing the wrong one. Always lots of detail work for a developer! Good work -- thanks! 🙂

Hi Simone,

Scanning works, but it gives a lot of auto-bookmark results using Wide FM around a strong FM radio signal. Is there a way of reducing these? It would be great to automatically return only the strongest (centre frequency) of a signal cluster.

Also, there doesn't seem to be a way of deleting the added auto-bookmarks -- how does one do this? If this was possible, it also would be useful to be able to sort bookmarks by table header.

I tried re-importing the original bookmarks file, but the newly-added auto-bookmarks remain.

Hello Stuart, may I ask to not use this (closed) issue for general discussion around the tool?

• if you have feature request create a new issue it will be classified and delivered according to the priorities.
• if you have general questions on the tool ("how to remove.."), the mailing list is the way to go.

in general, one issue<-> one feature/bug/task to implement, everything else ->mailing list

Regarding the scanning request I created this: https://github.com/Marzona/rig-remote/issues/89 feel free to add there all the details you think are important .

Regarding the deleting the bookmarks, https://github.com/Marzona/rig-remote/wiki/User-Manual will be updated as described here: https://github.com/Marzona/rig-remote/issues/90
