GM, Dan, Given the questions that pop up here, I say that we can really use these vids. Not only did I learn a few techniques, but it was nice to hear your rationale for managing channels, even if I have chosen a somewhat different approach. I'll review the vid and think about what I do... I changed my [prefs] stock_configs = E:\@online docs\Amateur Radio\CHIRP stock_configs as a test. ?? Something I did yesterday during my testing and installing the latest standalone version emptied out my custom stock_configs dir (or I did it by mistake) and cleared the [prefs] section so that when I started up this morning, I got the default loc. ** I subsequently did all the steps again today, including installing the new chirp-next-20230630-win32 version, adding [prefs] to my config. At the end of the tests, some files are missing. I had copied the csv files from the CHIRP install to my custom dir, as a way to get a bunch of files to test, rather than comb mine from various places. After I closed CHIRP, they are missing from my custom dir. All that remains are the files of mine that I placed there. YouTube URL names: I'd like to see them save down as CHIRP - AdvancedConfig instead of AdvancedConfig - CHIRP I rename all such links this way so that they are grouped better in my file system. Then when I am looking for CHIRP (whatever) links, I scan for CHIRP first, then the subject. https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/AdvancedConfig "Group" =? "section" ? Maybe [whatever] isn't really needed? CHIRP simply scans for keys? At any rate, I decided that "group" means "section", and it worked fine. stock_configs : dir names with spaces? Yes...handled them with no "" required. BOM - yep. I tripped myself here. I have my editor set to change unknown file types that are UTF-8 to use a BOM. Then when I saved the config file, CHIRP threw a mysterious (at the time) error, saying that the first line had an error. Of course, it didn't appear in the editor, so I was puzzled at first. ~R~ 72/73 de Rich NE1EE The Dusty Key On the banks of the Piscataqua _______________________________________________ chirp_users mailing list chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users This message was sent to arch...@mail-archive.com at arch...@mail-archive.com To unsubscribe, send an email to chirp_users-unsubscr...@intrepid.danplanet.com To report this email as off-topic, please email chirp_users-ow...@intrepid.danplanet.com Searchable archive: https://www.mail-archive.com/chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com
