Well, some progress with the new bandstack system which is based on stack filters. You can define a filter, which at the moment can contain a number of frequency ranges, a number of region based band sub filters, a number of modes and sub modes, or any combination of. All the back end stuff is done (with the exception of DB save/load). If there are no filters applied in a StackFilter then the stack will show everything you have ever stored.
The system creates band stack filters that replicate the old stacks and they are accessible in the normal way through the band buttons.
There are a good many days of development ahead, but I think it should make a nice system. For instance, a single filter for all regional bands could be created, that contained DIGU as the mode, and FT8 and FT4 as submodes. The filter can then be activated on the DIGU button. Pressing this would cycle the stack and move you through all FT8/FT4 frequencies on all bands.
Still lots to do. Hopefully I will have a vid to show the initial implementation by the end of the week and will probably be included in a build before the weekend, fingers crossed.
Some initial work on the bandstack form (filled with random junk at the moment) :
