I would like to humbly suggest that since logs can be exported,
modified, and re-imported, that perhaps something like this would be
better for a third-party tool. Just the discussion of defining what a
"dupe" is shows to me that implementing such a feature as part of the
core functionality of D4W might be difficult. With an external tool, it
would be possible for the end-user to specify their particular
definition of "dupe" (e.g., within 2 minutes, 1 minute, 5 minutes,
same/different digital mode, etc.) without having to build all that
logic into D4W.
Just my opinion.

You are right Teijo, a dupe definition is mandatory before thinking
about removing. A dupe is a nearly exact time, say a 5 minutes window
or precisely the same time, resulting either from typing old logs or
importing old logs. I have faced this problem several times when
working with PY0S old logs. A nice improvement in the "delete dupee"
tool should be allowing the user to define the time window. I think
several users have faced this problem before.

Cesare,
I think it won't be good to automatically remove dupes from the log!
Better have them marked by a red colour and let user decide
afterwards..

A definition of a dupe would be good.
Does it mean a dupe like in a contest i.e. a separate contact that has
been made on the same band but at a different time?
I think that in this case it is a bad idea to remove the dupes from the
log. The dupe contact might be the only one that is both in your log and
the other stations log. The first occurence might not be in the other
stations log at all for some reason (he/she worked somebody else, had a
computer glitch etc).
On the other hand I have noticed that my log contains some QSOs that are
separated only by seconds. They have resulted by importing the same log
twice into another logging sw that I used before DX4Win. This kind of
contacts I have removed manually which was time consuming.
