Multiple config branch - usable or ?

[Brian Morrison]

I was wondering if the multiple config branch is functional enough for
normal use.

Any thoughts?

Hi Brian,

That branch has actually already been merged into master, so I'd suggest using the latter instead. To use that feature, simply pass the -f command line argument to the freedv binary, for instance:

freedv -f freedv.conf.portable

freedv -f freedv.conf.home-station

https://github.com/drowe67/freedv-gui/blob/master/USER_MANUAL.pdf has a section describing this feature (including where the configurations are stored on a user's system by default if an absolute path's not provided).

Thanks,

I see, I tried to follow the git commits to work out what had ended up where but I clearly didn't get it right.

Given that I start freedv from a favourites icon which is not easily edited is there any chance that a configuration item could be added to the menu structure? The one in WSJTX is very good and something like that in freedv would be really useful.

Thanks for listening

Hi Brian,

We'll definitely keep that in mind as a future improvement. 

(BTW to everyone with software development experience: please feel free to fork the repository and submit pull requests to add features and fix bugs! We appreciate the contributions and will help make FreeDV a better mode to use. :)

Thanks for your response, I am now looking at the code and trying to work out the simplest way to add a menu entry for config file selection, saving and so on.

It's not going to be quick, but I will see if I can do something useful. Writing some code to deal with the actual guts of config files might follow on from what is there already if I can pick it apart well enough and reuse parts of it.

Not a software engineer so...
