## 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 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.

- Start glabels
- Open qsllabels.glabels
- Select 'Merge properties' from the Tools menu
- Point 'location' to the exported labels file
- Don't change any of the Custom field keys, just click 'OK'
- You are now ready to print

You should customize the label sheet by using "Edit Select All" from the menu, click on 'New', select the apropriate sheet from the pulldown menu, use "Edit 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.
