Settings and Data

Where everything lives

A data/ folder is created next to OpsLog.exe:

  • Config (SQLite): settings, profiles, rigs/antennas, cluster nodes, lookup cache, award lists, QSL templates. Always local, so the UI is instant.
  • Local logbook (SQLite): QSOs, when the profile logs locally.
  • data/qsl/templates/… — QSL card templates and their photos.
  • data/qsl/outbox/… — sent QSL card JPEGs.
  • Recordings folder (configurable) — per-QSO WAV/MP3.
  • Backups.

Back up your setup by copying data/ (and keep it with the exe). See Profiles and Databases for local-vs-MySQL logbooks.

Appearance & language

Four themes (Warm light, Warm dark, Graphite dark, High contrast) plus Auto (follows the OS). Full English / French UI with a first-run flag chooser and a switcher in Settings → General.

Integrations (outbound UDP)

Push the current frequency to PstRotator, radio info in N1MM RadioInfo format, or an ADIF record on each logged QSO — so external tools stay in sync.

Other

  • Autostart external programs (WSJT-X, JTAlert, rotator control…) at launch, skipping any already running.
  • Update check at startup (toggleable).
  • Anonymous usage telemetry — a once-a-day heartbeat (random install ID + version + OS; no callsign or QSO data). Opt out in Preferences.
