[chirp_devel] Need of a new wiki page

[Pavel Milanes (CO7WT)]

Hi to all,

We have now the driver class alias feature that allows to show the alias 
(clones) of some Chinese radios up front in the UI, but this new feature 
has a drawback: once the user save a img of this radio clone that image 
stop being from the clone and when opened again will show itself as the 
original radio, not the clone.

Tom has make a mod to the save operation to include a pattern ( 
{vendor}_{model}_{date}.img ) in the name to easy this, but some users 
may have some problems with this or at least it will generate some noise 
in the site/lists with users complaining about this.

I vote to create a wiki page called "Radio clones" in which we explain 
why the users see his FooBar-300 is showed as china_radio-123 when 
opened from a image file, this will allow us to tag the clones on the 
"Supported Radios" page as clones and redirect to the "Radio clones" 
wiki page, or even when the noise arose in the site/list we will have a 
link to send and stop infinite threads...

I can generate a draft for the page for the wiki admins to put in place. 
(That draft will require some revision as I know my english is not so 
good yet)

Is this a good idea?

If so, please wiki admins contact me off list to coordinate.

Thanks.
