Passing `--language en', '-l en-US', or `-l en_US` now takes a special
action to not load any translations using the current locale. This
allows the current system UI language not to influence an translations
loaded via the command line override when the native en-US is wanted.
This allows the Spanish UI translation to work, for now, for all
Spanish speaking locales. If necessary we can make it es-ES if other
translators feel it is not a good base for their Spanish variant. OTOH
if they just need to l10n a few strings then, say for Argentina, then
they can do that in an wsjtx_es_AR.ts and untranslated strings there
will fall back to the ones in wsjtx_es.ts automatically. This happens
because of teh way the application loads multiple translation files in
an order suitable for that to happen.
Xavi, EA3W, assures me that all Catalan dialects and variants are
essentially the same, so there's no need to have country variant
specific Catalan translation files.
Re-enabling the WSJT-X i18n facilities. This allows translation files
to be created for languages that are automatically used to lookup
translatable strings. To enable a new language the language name must
be added to the CMakeLists.txt LANGUAGES list variable in BCP47 format
(i.e. en_US, en_GB, pt_PT, ...). Do one build with the CMake option
UPDATE_TRANSLATIONS enabled (do not leave it enabled as there is a
danger of loosing existing translated texts), that will create a fresh
translations/wsjtx_<lang>.ts file which should be immediately checked
in with the CMakeLists.txt change. The .ts should then be updated by
the translator using the Qt Linguist tool to add translations. Check
in the updated .ts file to complete the initial translation process
for that language.
To aid translators their WIP .ts file may be tested by releasing
(using the lrelease tool or from the Linguist menu) a .qm file and
placing that .qm file in the current directory before starting
WSJT-X. The translations will be used if the system locale matches the
file name. If the system locale does not match the file name; the
language may be overridden by setting the LANG environment variable.
For example if a wsjtx_pt_PT.qm file is in the current directory
WSJT-X will use it for translation lookups, regardless of the current
system locale setting, if the LANG variable is set to pt_PT or pt-PT.
On MS Windows from a command prompt:
set LANG=pt_PT
C:\WSJT\wsjtx\bin\wsjtx
elsewhere:
LANG=pt_PT wsjtx
The tool record_time_signal is designed to measure the performance of
QAudioInput. The intended use is to record a short period of live
audio from an on-air time signal of known good quaility, the basic
required parameters are an audio input device, an output file name
(.WAV), a start second in a minute, and a duration in seconds. So for
example to record the time signal ticks and fast data at the top of
the minute:
$ record_time_signal -o wwv.wav -s 55 -d 15
will record 15s of audio at 48000Hz sample rate, stereo, from the
default audio input device, starting at second 55. This will use a
separate timer to stop the recording which is likely to leave the
output file a little short due to buffer latency. The buffer size can
be adjusted using the '-b <buffered-frames>' option.
The tool also supoorts a different mechanism to time the recording
which uses the audio progress via a notify signal. This should ensure
at least the requested duration is recorded The shorter the notify
interval the closer teh final size shoould be to the requested
duration. Use the '-d <interval-ms>' option to adjust the notify
interval.
$ record_time_signal -o wwv.wav -s 55 -d 15 -n 100
Non-default audio devices can be selected, use the '-I' option to list
the available input devices with an index number that can be used to
select the device using the 'R <device-number>' option.
Other options are available, use '-h' for details.
Basic validation, must have non-empty exchange sent and received.
Abstracted log view window widget behaviour into a base class. Turned
on auto resize to row height in log view windows and enabled
alternating colours. Convert empty fields to NULL when inserting new
log table rows to signify missing data. Trap insert row errors when
adding to contest log table so that logging can be held back if
constraints are not met. Re-factored log QSO processing to try insert
row into log table first and pop up a message box if constraints are
not met, this pops up the Log QSO window in case it was initiated by
an auto log event.
This change incorporates a reorganization of the GUI code with
widgets, validators, models, and item delegates being moved to
sub-directories.
Relax the requirements of the ForeignKeyDelegate and related
CandidateKeyFilter classes to allow them to work with constant model
pointers for both referenced and referencing models.
Settings option to highlight not worked before entities/grids/calls by
mode. Fix issues with highlighting decodes and generally refactor the
internal workings of ADIF and QSO recording for worked before
detection.
Includes a new settings facility with the highlighting being contrled
by a new model class and a modified QListView to display the data for
editing. Edits include enable and disable check boxes, a contextual
pop-up menu to adjust backkground and foreground colours.
Still to be implemented are priorities for highlighting
categories. This will be adjustable by drag and drop in the Colors
settings panel, it is already implemented by the priority order has no
effect on highlighting of decodes yet.
The LotW users data file fetch and time since user's last upload is
now controled from the settings dialog.
This change also drops support for Qt versions before 5.5 so that many
workarounds for earlier versions can be removed.
Debug trace is slightly modified to make better use of the Qt built in
facilities to format and synchronize cross thread messaging.
