This version is getting as fully automatic as it can ever be!!
I had wanted to truely automate the upload/download process for LOTW as much as I could -- so, " ONE STEP " that I recently did -- was to "delete the requirement" for me to have to enter a password when I sign the adif file - making the tq8 file .. This was strictly my own personal preference.. To accomplish this, I read the TQSL Certificate program's HELP File and found where I could "remove" the "Private Key Password" requirement. The TQSL Certificate program's help file section that deals with this - is entitled: Loading a Certificate File - Private Key Password Entry This step - "now" - has saved me one more manual step!! THEN - I went into my AutoLoTW program and modified the Setup/Options window completely.. I made a column for the "Password" that you use for logging-into the ARRL LoTW website .. Once you enter the password(s) for each entry and then press the OK button -- the password(s) are encoded .. so, the next time you enter the Setup/Options window, you will ONLY SEE the normal ***** type of entry in the password textbox.. By doing this, I have made available ONE MORE Step to be fully automated ... now, "if" you want to place your website LOG-IN password(s) into the AutoLoTW program, when you press the Upload button or the Download button on the program's Main Window, the FULL "log-in" is done automatically. So, if the DXbase user "wants" to have a fully automated LoTW experience, the ONLY manual intervention that the user will do NOW - is to simply PASTE (Ctrl-V) the Upload or Download Path/Filename into the appropriate textbox .. and, THAT's IT!!!! NOTE!! :: The user "can" still use this version 2.50 -- without putting in their website log-in password(s)!! You will just have to manually put the password into the webpage itself.. Version 2.50 has been updated as much as I can - to make it fully automatic - yet still be User Friendly!!
