QSL labels

glabels is a gnome application for printing business cards and labels, see http://snaught.com/glabels. It is designed to work with various laser/ink-jet peel-off label and business card sheets that you'll find at most office supply stores. The following works with a glabels version higher than 0.4.


You can use the 'Export' dialog for exporting the log to a type called 'TSV'. This will save your log fields in a TAB separated file. The fields you want to export can be set in the "Export" page of the ``Settings $\rightarrow$ Dialogs and Windows`` dialog.

The exported file can be imported into glabels using the template called qsllabels.glabels in /usr/[local/]share/doc/xlog/glabels. In case you need to print multiple QSO's per label, enter a number into the "Group by callsign" field.

You should customize the label sheet by using "Edit $\rightarrow$ Select All" from the menu, click on 'New', select the apropriate sheet from the pulldown menu, use "Edit $\rightarrow$ Paste" to copy the fields into the new sheet and move them around with your mouse until the fit on the label. Save this file to use as a template for your QSL labels.
