Hi krimskrams, it's just a 1:1 mapping of the GPX definition. The <cmt> tag goes into the comment text box and the <desc> tag into the description line. The PQ uses the <desc> tag only and that is how QLGT saves the waypoint. Pretty straight forward.
Maybe the Open Cache Manger reformats the PQ for you. Give it a try. Oliver > Hi, > > using GSAK could be an option however it is not open source and only > runs on Windows.
