Hi John,
Now, all is perfectly clear! I followed your procedure and it worked perfectly.
I could even check it by creating a new DX4WIN log and importing the created
ADIF log: the new log contained only the selection! I uploaded Clublog.adif to
Clublog and it worked flawlessly.
So, thanks you again and I hope to have a QSO with you in a near future on one
of the bands.
I am sending a copy of this to DX4WIN Reflector so that it will close my case
and help to others who might have had same misunderstanding as myself.
Very best 73,
Radi F6GNZ

Hi Radi, Ok here goes. If you create a selection filter and then save the log
you will save the whole log. It does not matter if you save it as F6GNZ or
CLUBLOG your going to have all QSO's. So both files will contain all QSO's and
they will both have available the selection filter that you made. To create a
new log with some groups removed you need to do it differently but you don't
need to do that for what you are wanting to do. To sum up. Saving a log with
a selection filter will not filter QSO's. Exporting a log with a selection
filter will filter QSO's Here is how I export QSO's to upload to Clublog. In
my log which is called ZL1BYZ.DXL I choose the selection filter that I have
made to give me a selection of only QSO's I want to upload, then with that
selection filter ON I go to the File menu and choose Import/Export and export
as ADIF. I save the file as ZL1BYZ.ADIF to my Desktop. At the end of the
export a window will tell you how many QSO have been exported, it will match
your selection filter. Then I go back and turn OFF the selection filter. Now
my log is ready for new QSO's, nothing has been changed. To complete the
clublog upload I go to Clublog and go through the upload process choosing the
ZL1BYZ.ADIF file I just created on my desktop.The next time I want to upload
some more QSO's to Clublog I do the same process overwriting the ZL1BYZ.ADIF
file on my desktop with the new QSO's. It becomes a simple safe process. Your
main log stays in the same place and is unaffected by the Clublog upload and
you have an ADIF file on your desktop which you update using the selection
filter and Export adif process before you do a Clublog upload. Finally when
ever you are doing some work on your log that you are not sure the result is
going to be what you want. MAKE A BACKUP FIRST Do this with your computer's
file management tools (Windows Explorer?) not within DX4WIN using save or save
as. That is the quickest route to confusion and loosing QSO's. Hope that helps
73 John ZL1BYZ.

John,
Something strange: My main f6gnz log has 17089 QSOs logged, log size 2099 kB.
I create Selection under name Clublog, list shows now 11988 QSOs and Save. I
check in SAVE folder, Clublog.dxl is still 2099 kB.Then, I re-open f6gnz, find
selection Clublog, Update, OK , list shows again 11988 QSOs . I save log as
Clublog.dxl (can't save as ADIF, saving accepts only DXL; ADIF only after
export). Saved log shows again 2099 kB.
I open Clublog.dxl, it shows 17089 QSOs and after selection, list shows
11988 selected QSO's, but whether I save it just by clicking on Save or Save as
, Clublog.dxl still shows 2099 kB and when I open it I see all 17089 QSOs.
Question:
How to create a "Clublog" file that contains only selected QSOs in order to
upload it to Clublog without uploading unwanted groups??
I am completely confused now..
73, Radi F6GNZ
