+1At one time I understood what Save Configuration meant, but it's easier to just do it.73,Ed W0YK

I can tell you I only do a SaveConfiguration when I change something. When I start a new contest, I importthe messages, Save the file with a filename, do any other changes(add/delete/move windows or change the keying port for CW or RTTY), do aSave Configuration, and then Save the file again. From there I normallynever had to make any changes.Don AA5AU-----Original Message-----From: WriteLog [mailto:writelog-bounces at contesting.com] On Behalf Of JeffStaiSent: Saturday, July 20, 2019 12:11 AMTo: Writelog ReflectorSubject: [WriteLog] save configurationI've been using writelog since the turn of the century I think. There aresome things I do, because back when I learned how to get writelog to dowhat I wanted it to do - and not get burned or lose things - those thingsjust seemed to work. It's almost like a ritual or incantation.One of these things is save configuration. When setting up for a contest Ibet I do a save configuration 100 times. Every time I set a parameter orenable something it's:Save FileSetupchoose Save Configurationclick OK...because I don't want to lose what I have done and start over.I have questions.1. Why is save configuration still a tedious three click task? Why isn't ita one click button like file save?2. I'm going to guess the answer. It's because save configuration isactually something you almost never have to do so why make a button for it.Right?3. If that is the case, then I must be doing save configuration about 99times too much...?4. So then, what does save configuration really do?73 jeff wk6i-- Jeff Stai ~ WK6I ~ wk6i.jeff at gmail.comRTTY op at W7RNTwisted Oak Winery ~ http://www.twistedoak.com/_______________________________________________WriteLog mailing listWriteLog at contesting.comhttp://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/writelogWriteLog on the web:  http://www.writelog.com/_______________________________________________WriteLog mailing listWriteLog at contesting.comhttp://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/writelogWriteLog on the web:  http://www.writelog.com/
