Activities

If you want to see the TX power, you have to set it in the Activity Manager. This requires an entire extra line in the QSO window.

The "My Station" tab, on the other hand, has plenty of space to display this information. In addition, the TX power information logically fits better in the My Station tab.

As a consequence, the information "Station", "Rig" and "Antenna" (values) would also have to be displayed via the Activity Manager in row "B". This would make the My Station tab superfluous.

In my opinion, the My Station information is set twice here. But maybe I don't understand the purpose of the activities yet.

You could add TX PWR to Row A instead of Row B to save from adding a new row.

OK, thanks, that's how it works. I hadn't seen that.

But the question remains why only TX-Power and not all fields from the "My Station" tab.
Then the space in line "A" would not be enough.

That's why I don't like the whole concept as it's currently implemented. But we are adaptable.

OK, if you really want to have the activity concept or something similar, here is another suggestion or a first idea.

In the tab bar, you can add an activity tab that does not require any additional space on the interface. The tab is only visible if at least one activity has been defined.

The activity is selected in the tab itself. The selection at the bottom left, which in my opinion was not conveniently placed there, has been removed.

Within the new “Activity” tab, the required fields can be displayed via the Activity Manager, depending on the selected activity.

In QSO mode, you can select the Activity tab to display the required additional fields.

Wolfgang, an activity is not just about defining the fields you see but it should be a concept of centralized QLog settings for the desired task. Each ham radio activity requires specific settings, and it's not possible to create a single unified configuration for all these activities. For example, SAT_NAME is unnecessary for HF operations. In a contest, I don’t need to see TX_POWER or other fields. Activity is not just about defining fields and their layout but also about selecting specific profiles.

For working on SAT, I need a different rig connection than when working on HF. And since QLog already contains many of these profiles, it is necessary to simplify working with them. That’s why the Activity Manager was implemented. If you don’t need to work with activities, you can simply stay with Classic mode.

Yes, the only difference is TX_POWER. It was removed from My Station. This is because I concluded that this item should be a standard field on the Details tab. Regarding the My Station tab, I admit I wanted to remove the tab because I aimed to display all the information differently. Unfortunately, I realized that this approach wasn’t user-friendly, so I’m searching for another solution. However, in my opinion, TX_POWER does not belong in the My Station tab.
