Lost text


 

Hello
I have had a situation some times when I prepare a text in fldigi and after starting sending it, by mistake or a second of hesitation turn off sending - and the text is gone.
Is there a way to get back the last text to the blue sending pane so I could start over with the text intact?

Hello Poul,

I would have to add that to the software.  In the meantime you might try this immediately after entering the text:
  • control-A
  • control-C
  • start the TX and if you lose the text, enter "control-V"

This is of course a low priority issue, but in case you put it in the todo list, may I suggest:
- before a blue text entry pane is cleared by fldigi, the text is saved (overwriting previous saved text), perhaps also saving the insert point position,
- or alternatively just keep unsent text (overwriting previous saved text), which may be easier.
- a menu option to insert saved/unsent text in blue entry pane.
Again time to praise your fine work with the FL suite!

I don't have my system setup to test this...but ISTR that there is a logging function? that captures the session? � la ...to save transmitted text messages in fldigi, you can enable the "Text Capture" feature in the settings...?

...at any rate, I always have EditPad Pro running when I am using fldigi, and it's easy to copy (ctrl-a) any text of interest and paste (ctrl-v) into EPP. I frequently do this so that I can do post-game reviews of nets. In fact, I supply a copy of EditPad Lite with every portable install so that everyone can do this. Of course, each OS also has a plain text editor of some kind, but I use EPP regularly, so I am familiar with it.
