Adding another column in the log view is a problem. It will not fit for some contests like Sweepstakes. I will have to figure out how to deal with this- since most contests are single-mode, an entire column dedicated to mode in most cases is a waste of space. My general philosophy is if something is a useless piece of information, there is no need to show it...only show the inportant stuff.

Maybe a contest config is needed to turn on the mode column?

Understood. I wanted to get the trees sync'ed and forgot to warn you in time. I need to pull in your recent changes as well.

Maybe a contest config is needed to turn on the mode column?

That was going to be my suggestion. Perhaps if more than one mode is specified only then show the mode column? It would require the mode to be specified for every event, but should be as simple as: CW, Phone, Digi, in any combination. Or a Contest Option in the UI for mode selection in multimode events?

I understand that at the moment Digi hardly supported, but perhaps the same method that CQRlog uses to spawn Fldigi and receive log data as each contact is logged could be incorporated at some point.

Along the same lines, since the frequency cannot be edited, how about showing the band instead?

Another thought would be to order the log window as:

NR, Band, Mode (if needed), time, call, exchg1-n, pts, valid

This keeps the editable fields next to each other, IMO.

More grist for the thought mill.
