[WriteLog] WriteLog v12 is here!

Thu Jan 14 22:35:39 EST 2016

I don't seem to be having any issues with either the opening window or the bandmap. Using a Dell 24" LED monitor set to 1920x1080 resolution. All of WL's windows look OK to me.

Testing V12 here on a couple of different box's. The only major thing I
have to say is that some windows don't scale properly on a HiDef display.

I have a Lenovo Yoga2Pro with a 3200 x 1800 display. Running Windows 10

Two windows that don't scale properly and I don't see a way to fix.

The opening window. The file names are piled up on one another. I think if
the font was different it would be ok. I noticed a similar affect on the
Check Call window until I changed the font.

The BandMap window is really bad. The only way to see the frequency readout
is to have the window about 1/3 of the screen wide if its vertical and over
half the screen if it's setup horizontal.
Some of the other windows the default font didn't display correctly either
but I was able to change those.

This all worked OK on V11 with the same computer.

Other comments:
I'm not a big fan of having to have all the separate undocked windows. But
I guess that's the way of the future.
It would be nice if you would resize the windows while they are docked,
unless I don't see how looks like they are either full width or height of
the main window unless they are undocked. The tabbed document option might
be useful.

Thanks
