FMP window settings

[garys]

I know that pressing the "W" key in DSD Plus Event Log windows displays the locations of the various windows used. Then one can change the settings in CC.bat and VC.bat to move the windows where desired.

I know that font sizes can be changed, as I've done that.

There doesn't seem to be a similar function in FMP, but it would be nice if there was. Or am I missing something?

Pressing '?' while FMPA is running does it. Probably the same for all the other FMP variants.

There is no option to change font size but pressing "?" with FMP window selected will shows you the window coordinates in the FMP/FMP24 console as long as with all other FMP/FMP24 related options

I tried that but got nothing. Well, if I press "?" when I have the DSD-CC window selected, I get the DSD commands. If I press "?" when I have FMPA selected, I get nothing. Same on the FMP24/DSD-VC side.

You have to actually look at the FMPx console windows...

You may also want to use shift + ? if you are using some sort of non-us keyboard layout

Oh... that. Thanks.

I have the Spectrum Display window location. I now just have to figure out why when I put it in FMPA-CC I get a message that tells me that -ws is an valid command.

I'm using a Dell US keyboard, but I have to use Shift + ? anyway.

I keep hitting the question mark key but all I get is a lowsy forward slash :/

Did you mean -wsly.x (i.e., there's a lower-case letter 'l' after the 's')?

 

[garys]

It looks that way, but I still get the invalid parameter error message. I'm putting it in FMPA-CC.bat, which is where I think it belongs.

I figured it out. the parameter has to go at the end of the line, after -rc.

Only for the purpose of reporting a potential bug, I upgraded to the latest DSDPlus that has FMPA 2.43 and it did not complain, regardless of where I put -wsl200.300 on the command-line. E.g., FMPA -wsl200.300 -rc -o20001 -f935.0 included in its output Spectrum display window origin set to (200,300). However, I don't have an AirSpy device, so maybe it behaves differently if it finds one.

Maybe it's Airspy related, but I put the location information in the same place in FMP24. Either way, I'm happy with how it worked out.

That command line works fine at the command prompt or in a batch file. Some folks just can't handle command lines - or show their failing work.

I've written batch and executable files for about 35 years now. This is the first one I've ever seen exhibit that behavior. Why? I have no idea, but since I got it to work, I'm not worried about.
