# 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.
|
|
|
|
## Settings map
|
|
|
|
| Section | What |
|
|
|---------|------|
|
|
| **General** | language, theme, date format (US / FR / Standard), Main-view panes, digital-modes grouping, Super Check Partial, ClubLog exceptions & Most Wanted |
|
|
| **Station** | your callsign, grid, name, address (my-station ADIF) — hand-corrected CQ/ITU zones stay corrected |
|
|
| **CAT** | radio backend + connection, CAT sharing (rigctld), protocol trace ([[CAT Control]]) |
|
|
| **Lookup** | QRZ.com / HamQTH credentials |
|
|
| **Audio** | DVK / recorder devices, PTT, gains and levels, RX monitor |
|
|
| **CW Keyer** | engine (WinKeyer / Serial / Icom / Flex CWX / Yaesu / TCI), macros, ESM |
|
|
| **External services** | LoTW (TQSL), QRZ, eQSL, ClubLog, HRDLog, POTA, Cloudlog/Wavelog |
|
|
| **Email** | SMTP for eQSL-by-email and *Send log to F4BPO* |
|
|
| **Amplifier / Tuner Genius / Antenna Genius / Rotator / Antenna** | station hardware ([[Amplifiers and Switches]] · [[Maps and Antennas]]) |
|
|
| **Database** | settings DB + this profile's logbook, rename/relocate |
|
|
| **Backup** | database + ADIF backup at shutdown |
|
|
|
|
## 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.
