Default Callsign/name #3

Open jduff001 opened 4 years ago

jduff001 commented 4 years ago

Could the default be changed from "Anonymous" to a unique name, possibly a partial of the mac address... this might allow the same SD card image to be placed in multiple dreamcatchers, then avoid any confusion if the user fails to change the Callsign at the ipxxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080 initial parameters screen.

So basically not a completely random name, but something tied to the device itself, is what you are proposing?

jduff001 commented 4 years ago

Yes, ideally, the user would update it correctly to their callsign, but if they don't the conversations look odd with Anonymous chatting with other Anonymous users.

Yeah, I got a little lazy with that one, didn't I. :D

jduff001 commented 4 years ago

I guess saving all the settings in the configuration page would be nice, so the user wouldn't have verify frequency / bw / sf / cr each time the chat screen is started. maybe done when the connect or disconnect boxes are checked.

Would you mind opening a new issue for that?
