For those interested in using my BandView software, the latest update now supports viewing ONE selection from multiple instances of WSJT-X. Changing a selection from a drop-down box allows the user to select a different WSJT-X instance data file.
Download is from the same location/link as in previous posts.
V1.0.0.8 introduces an optional mode for when there are multiple instances of WSJT-X are running on the PC. The normal mode is 'Default' and it sets BandView up so that if utilises the normal single-instance settings. The 'Percentage' options are now set automatically in other code depending on the size of the ALL.TXT file so the previously-used screen space now displays a drop-down selector box which might contain some thing like Default, OmniRig Rig 1, OmniRig Rig 2. These definitions have to be set up manually by the user in a text file named 'rigs.txt' in the BandView executable's folder. For instance, my rigs.txt (pure text, eg Notepad) file contains these settings :
Default,C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\WSJT-X,WSJT-X.ini
OmniRig Rig 1,C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\WSJT-X - OmniRig Rig 1,WSJT-X - OmniRig Rig 1.ini
OmniRig Rig 2,C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\WSJT-X - OmniRig Rig 2,WSJT-X - OmniRig Rig 2.ini
* Note that the User text above (in italics) must be replaced bywhatever profile/account name you are using as your Windows logon name.
The first field contains the displayed label then a comma (,), the second field is the folder for the folder detail where that instance stores it's ALL.TXT file then a comma (,), the third field is the name of the WSJTX INI file for that instance. The number of entries is not specifically limited but you MUST get the details accurate in the file as there are no bug-fixes to accommodate invalid configuration entries. If you aren't proficient/confident then do NOT create the rigs.txt file.
