Feature Request: Option to allow duplicates.

[TheCommsChannel]

I'm working on a BBS-like system for APRS which is menu driven. Being that its menu driven, the problem I run into is the end user will sometimes receive packets with the same messages and APRSdroid won't display them. If I clear the message session and try again, the messages come through fine until they get sent again, so it seems as if APRSdroid is not displaying duplicate messages in the same message session.

It would be great if there was an option to allow duplicates for use-cases like mine.

do you mean the packet APRSDROID receives over a certain time? (like 30 secs time delta?)?

[TheCommsChannel]

Correct. I'm not sure what the time delta is if there is one, but even after getting the same packet 10 minutes later, it still won't show unless I clear the chat.

Are you using message IDs? I'm a bit curious of your usage.
Show me a couple examples of the raw packets?

[na7q]

Correct. I'm not sure what the time delta is if there is one, but even after getting the same packet 10 minutes later, it still won't show unless I clear the chat.

I'm assuming it's not that important, or you figured out your issue?

Same issue. Just not had time to work on the project but will be working on it again soon.

Since I've started working on improving and adding minor things lately, trying to better understand the code and overall design. I'll see what I can find with this. If I'm lucky I can add a setting and time limit perhaps to it.

I've started the implementation of this. It may takes me a short while, but initial tests prove successful. Since I'm attempting to add support for bulletins, this naturally becomes a necessary feature to have. As soon as I come up with the best solution for the bulletins, I can properly implement a setting on duplicate messages.

Sweet! Good to hear the initial tests have been successful. I'll have more time this month to work on the BBS this month, so this is greatly appreciated!
