Hi,
I've been using xastir on the receive side to get
my feet wet in the local APRS scene. I have a few
features that I would like to suggest, mostly
enhancements to the user interface.
1) For all the screens where a matrix of stations and
information comes up, like the weather stations screen,
I think it would be nice to have sort ability defined
using the top bar. Kind of like in the MS-office
applications, I would click on the top bar to sort by
callsign, or temp, or whatever
2) Also for those screens with a matrix, I would like to click
on the callsign and see the map icon highlighted in some way,
or blinking, or whatever. That way I could find the station
I am looking at.
3) Does message data have time stamps? Right now it appears to be
printing out message data by callsign. But some of the messages
are part of a message "conversation" and that aspect is lost
in the current system. If messages do have timestamps, I would
like to be able to sort messages by time.
I have done some C programming in the past. If someone would
be willing to give me some hints, I might try to tackle this
stuff myself.
