[Dx4win] SWL labels lost and save log in 707 directory
I had ready for printing some swl lables in my previous log (707). There are not in current log (801). I followed the procedure for upgrading. I copied my 707 file from 707 to 801 merged my preferences. I have not done any conversion for name, freq in my new log. Something i noticed and it happened to me twice is that even i copied my file for 707 directory to 801, the logfile in 707 was updated. I was sure that 801 read the 801 copied file when i first opened the 801. It happened in my laptop first and i double checked my movements and was very careful in my shack pc the second time. But it happened agn. Maybe an operator mistake. Maybe a strange bug. It has not logic to me but it happened agn. After all I made a save us in the new version and no problem then. I had my log backuped so no problem for me. I can't believe what happened to me twice. Maybe a double mistake but for another time backup your file before updating.

Read the upgrade instructions I wrote: http://dx4win.ad1c.us/appnotes/upgrade.htm where I wrote, Here are my personal notes on upgrading. I will state one very important thing up-front. When you merge your preferences, one of those preferences is the log file to open. If you copy your log to the new SAVE directory, you must navigate to teh new SAVE directory and open that one. Don't just accept whatever log that DX4WIN opens the first time after merging preferences. 73 - Jim AD1C On 8/9/2009 2:54 PM, Kostas Stamatis wrote: I had ready for printing some swl lables in my previous log (707).

Re: [Dx4win] SWL labels lost and save log in 707 directory
I have made this mistake in the past... and I should know better. For this reason... I never work with my original set of files... only a copy. As Jim alluded to in an earlier post... the problem is the Windows Common Dialog Control doesn't display the path to the directory. It's not just with DX4Win I have had this problem... ...Mel Jim Reisert AD1C wrote: Read the upgrade instructions I wrote: http://dx4win.ad1c.us/appnotes/upgrade.htm where I wrote, Here are my personal notes on upgrading.
