Re: Time and Backups


 

Thanks for the message. As I wrote, the time format is controlled by your OS settings using LC-variables. If you have different settings than you want, it is your choice.

Backups are made at startup, not at shutdown, for several reasons. One of the reasons is not to damage data during automatic database upgrades. Users would not like to implement a dialog box like this, and above all, it goes against the idea of QLog - to do everything automatically, if possible, without the intervention of the operator.

Thanks for your reply.

Managed to get the flatpak to use the correct time in 24 hour format.? But it is more complicated than what was shown in the example.? At least for my distribution (Arch) and Gnome.? Very complicated and will probably have to be re-done when a new flatpak version comes out.? This should be a parameter in a config file that QLog reads on startup and set the time format accordingly.

As to the backups, I disagree with your assessment that many backups (mine is close to 20MB each time) is better.? The best solution would be a dialog when quitting the app asking if one wants a backup or not.? Perhaps one did not make any new contacts so no need for a new backup which would be an exact copy of who knows how many previous ones.? Or, QLog should compare if new info was recorded to the DB and ask.? If no difference between new and previous backup, do nothing.?

I now have a script that deletes the backups to save space.? My log is uploaded to LoTW, eQSL, and QRZ so hard to loose.? Also, on more than one computer.
