# QSL Card Designer

**Tools → QSL Card Designer…** turns a few photos into a polished eQSL card.

## Design flow

1. **Pick 1–6 photos** (jpeg/png). OpsLog analyses them offline (detail /
   luminance grid) and proposes **3 designs** — callsign placed in the calmest
   zone of the best photo, operator name, CQ/ITU zones + locator line, country
   flag, the other photos as bordered inserts, and a per-QSO confirmation box.
2. **Fine-tune**: click an element to select, drag to move; change font / style
   preset (gel gold, gel silver, classic white outline, script, flat) and the
   per-preset knobs on the right. The **QSO info box** has opacity, background
   colour, corner radius, title and text-colour controls.
3. **Save** the template. Photos are copied into
   `data/qsl/templates/<id>/` (the originals can move afterwards). One template
   can be the **default per profile**.

## Sending

Right-click a QSO → **Send eQSL by e-mail**. The card is rendered with that QSO's
data, rasterised to a ≤ 800 KB JPEG, archived in `data/qsl/outbox/`, and sent via
the configured SMTP account to the address from the QRZ/HamQTH lookup. On success
the QSO is stamped `EQSL_SENT=Y`.

The e-mail subject/body templates live in the designer, with
`{CALL} {DATE} {BAND} {MODE} {MYCALL}` variables.

## Fonts & flags

Fonts: Archivo Black, Lilita One, Baloo 2, Oswald, Great Vibes, Allura (all OFL,
embedded); Cooper Black is offered when MS Office installed it. Flags:
flag-icons (MIT), embedded for the commonly-worked DXCC entities.
