Has anyone on the reflector interfaced DX4WIN with JT-Alert with respect to
keeping up with the countries you have worked and so on?

You can also navigate to the WSJT-X adi file, create a shortcut and then move
that shortcut to your DX4Win SAVE folder.

From his email:
I got tired of navigating to the WSJT-X directory every time I wanted to import
my WSJT-X log into DX4WIN. Fortunately, Windows 10 has a solution. The idea
is to create a symbolic link in your SAVE directory that points to the WSJT-X
log directory. The full instructions for creating symbolic links are here:
https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/16226/complete-guide-to-
symbolic-links-symlinks-on-windows-or-linux/
Here's the quick start:
1. Start by opening a Command Prompt in Administrator mode. From the Start
menu, find "Windows System" and right-click on "Command Prompt'.
Follow the "More" link and then click "Run as Administrator".
2. Determine the location of your WSJT-X log directory. Here is one way:
cd %localappdata%
C:
dir
You should see a WSJT-X directory there. The full path should look
something like this:
C:\Users\jjrei\AppData\Local\WSJT-X
3. Now determine the location of your DX4WIN SAVE directory. Mine is here:
E:\dx4w903\save
4. "cd" into your DX4WIN save directory:
cd E:\dx4w903\save
E:
5. Finally, create the link. Here is the command I used:
E:\dx4w903\save> mklink /D WSJT-X C:\Users\jjrei\AppData\Local\WSJT-X
(do not type the part *before* the >, only the part beginning with "mklink"
That's all there is to it. The next time you want to import using "File |
Import", you will see the WSJT-X link in your SAVE directory.
Double-click on that link, and you'll find your WSJT-X ADIF file there.
This is not limited to WSJT-X, you can create links to anything you want.
