I have a frequency schedule set up and the scheduler turned on, but it is not changing frequencies at the scheduled time. Everything else is working as it should so the PC is communicating with my IC-7300. What am I missing, or is this a bug. I am running V16.1.8.
I use the latest version of Varac with wine. So everything works fine, but if i try to click "open file" for the attachement, i get this here:
See the end of this message for details on invoking \njust-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.\n\n************** Exception Text **************\nSystem.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (0x80004005): Datei nicht gefunden.

Hi dl4qb,
Thanks for the report and for pasting the full error. It made this quick to track down.
When you click OPEN FILE, VarAC asks Windows to open the attachment with whatever program is registered for that file type. Received attachments are .zip files, and a normal Wine setup has no program registered for .zip. Wine refuses, VarAC didn't handle the refusal, and it crashed. The "Datei nicht gefunden" message is misleading. Your file is there.
The next version fixes this. Instead of crashing, it will show a message telling you where the file is saved.
Until then, there are two ways around it:
1. Click the small button right after OPEN FILE on the attachment line. It opens the folder the file is saved in.
2. Install the Windows version of 7-Zip in the same Wine prefix you run VarAC from. Open 7-Zip File Manager, go to Tools > Options > System and tick zip. OPEN FILE should work after that.

Hi,
There is a cosmetic bug in the maps: there is a white text printed over Greenland which is hardly visible.
Thanks,

Thanks for the heads up.
We will change the color of greenland to Green as the name implies :)
Kidding :) we will fix that on the next version!

Installed v16.1.8. The new attachment and map features are great. I noticed two bugs in UI (VMAIL dialog box and main UI) VMAIL
There is an icon of file folder to right of ATTACHMENT text box and above CANCEL button. Click the folder does not do anything. When VMAIL screen is resized the icon moves and it not bound to the location beside the text box. MAIN UI
Under the VarAC log section there is a label called VarAC Lo (and g cut off). Under that is a drop down which appears to be time (in UTC?). The time is partially cut off. I don't recall the purpose of that drop down and not clear if there is a label missing.
I am running VarAC on Windows 10 with screen resolution 1440x900 with 100% scaling (no zoom)
Thanks for the heads up.
1.The folder icon is clickable when you have selecyted an attachment already... so once an atatchement is selected, it opens the folder where it resides. I will fix that it wont show until you have selected an attachment
I will fix the position issue with the attachment icon
As for the VARA LOG section - try to move the spliiter above it to make it larger and tell me if it is fixed. Also try to change the UI mode (top left) and see if it fixes. it will help me to understand whats is happening. Also does it happen on a clean restart every time ?
