Settings and Data

Where everything lives

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

Settings database (SQLite): settings, profiles, rigs/antennas, cluster nodes, lookup cache, award lists, QSL templates. Always local.
Logbook (logbook.db, 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, diagnostic logs.

Paths are stored relative to the folder, so the whole OpsLog directory can move to another drive or PC. Back up your setup by copying data/. 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); fresh installs start dark. Full English / French UI with a first-run flag chooser and a switcher in Settings → General. Ctrl + wheel zooms the whole UI (remembered; Ctrl+0 resets). The window title bar is drawn by OpsLog — drag the top bar to move, double-click to maximise — and the window reopens on the screen it was closed on.

UDP integrations

Inbound: WSJT-X / MSHV / JTDX QSO logging and status (unicast or multicast), and DXHunter remote-call packets (fills the callsign, tunes the rig when the packet carries <FREQ>/<MODE>).
Outbound: the current frequency to PstRotator, radio info in N1MM RadioInfo format, or an ADIF record on each logged QSO.

Other

Autostart external programs (WSJT-X, JTAlert, rotator control…) at launch, skipping any already running.
Update check at startup, when opening Help → About, and every 5 minutes. A "What's new" summary appears on the first launch after each update.
Help → Send log to F4BPO (shown when SMTP is configured) e-mails the diagnostic logs straight to the developer.
Anonymous usage telemetry — a once-a-day heartbeat (random install ID + version + OS; no callsign or QSO data). Opt out in Preferences.
