Sorry for the delay. I've only got one SH3-ready computer available, and it's also the same computer my wife uses for grad school work.
In any case, I was able to play with the captain's log features a bit, and in general they seemed to work well. I was especially happy with the random ship-naming feature. Some British ships did get American names and visa-versa, though as you noted this is unavoidable. Still, having ship names included in the log is a good improvement.
Once I figued out the log entry process I didn't really have any problems, though I do wish there was a way it could be simplified. Right now it takes multiple clicks to create new entries - IIRC, date selection -> add new entry -> select entry date -> type entry -> update entry -> Save file. It'd be good if there was some way to reduce this complexity - e.g., select a date, type your entry, hit save.
Other issues were minor. Selecting a different career under the "Select Career" tab does not change the "Select Patrol" tab to Patrol 1, but leaves it at whatever Patrol was previously selected. Also, for competed patrol logs, entry dates don't seem to appear until after hitting "View html file".
In any case, I enjoyed what I saw and look forward to a finalized version in SH3 Commander. Good work!
Edit: BTW, no problems with Alt-Tab, as it's the only realistic solution. I've never had any Alt-Tab problems other than some minor graphical corruption, and that seems to be a SH3 issue, not a SH3 Companion issue.
